One of the facets of beach volleyball is the use of hand signals
by players to indicate to their partner what sort of play they
intend to make. These signals are made behind the back, to avoid
the opposition seeing the signals. A lot of people were asking
me what does the hand signals mean? Actually, you and your partner
can develop your own system. Let's say, we use 1 finger to sign
for the player on the right hand side, and 2 fingers for the left
while 1 is also for blocking straight, and 2 is for blocking cross.
By using your right hand to signal for serving to which player, and
your left hand to signal where you will be blocking. You have a system.
You can develop a different kind of signal if you like, and I recommend
this since only you and your parnter will understand your system.
If you are afraid that your opponents may be able to read your play
during the tournament, feel free to change the system a little bit
in different matches to confuse them.
Misty May and Kerri Walsh are the hottest womens beach volleyball
players right now and they won the Gold medal at the 2004 Athens Olympics
and the 2008 BeiJing Olympics.
They are both great beach volleyball players and really work well together.
Better yet is how they move and they way they look in those tight bikinis.
