Description
Volleyball at Long Beach 1 Painterly. One of the popular activities at beaches in Southern California, Volleyball or Beach Volleyball is captured. Taken at Rosie's Beach, Los Alamitos Bay, Long Beach, California. Finished with layers of Topaz for a painterly effect.
Beach volleyball is a team sport played by two teams of two players on a sand court divided by a net. As in indoor volleyball, the objective of the game is to send the ball over the net and to ground it on the opponent's court, and to prevent the same effort by the opponent. A team is allowed up to three touches to return the ball across the net. The ball is put in play with a serve—a hit by the server from behind the rear court boundary over the net to the opponents. The rally continues until the ball is grounded on the playing court, goes "out", or is not returned properly. The team winning a rally scores a point and serves to start the following rally. The four players serve in the same sequence throughout the match, changing server each time a rally is won by the receiving team.
