Beach volleyball is also a very interesting game. Why is it not as popular as indoor volleyball?

The purpose of competitive sports is still the competition itself. Beaches, beauties, and bikinis are just auxiliary factors to attract attention. They can attract a larger audience, but they are still wonderful performances brought about by the competition itself.

Why is sand volleyball not as popular as indoor volleyball? I personally think there are several reasons.

The first point: Venue restrictions

Sand volleyball, as the name implies, is a volleyball competition held on the beach. It is different from the fixed venues of indoor volleyball. The rules require natural beaches, and even if it is a temporary site, the sand requirements are very strict. "The sand grains must be natural, round in shape, and brown or cream in color. The sand grains should not be too thick, but not very fine. If they are too fine, they will be inhaled into the lungs." This is a sand volleyball project. what the personnel said.

In addition, since it is an open-air place, there are naturally certain requirements regarding the weather. For example, wind and temperature have certain requirements for sand volleyball. If the wind speed is too high, it will be difficult to judge the ball's landing point during passing and cushioning, which will affect the game. And too high a temperature is not conducive to athletes' performance, not to mention on rainy days, and suspension of competition also occurs from time to time.

Such a special competition environment has an impact on the athletes, and it also brings a lot of inconvenience to the spectators watching the game. Since it is an open-air venue, it is naturally not as comfortable as watching a football match in an indoor venue. Uncertain weather factors will always bring about some sudden situations, so it is difficult for a large number of spectators to stay in the stands for a long time to watch the match.

Second point: The competition lacks "appreciation"

Bikini and beauties will be the two highlights of the competition, but when looking at sand volleyball from the perspective of male compatriots, in fact, these two It's not very attractive at all. First of all, as female athletes, generally speaking, the proportion of good-looking athletes will not be too large, or even lower than the normal level. Secondly, the bodies of female beach volleyball players are too lean, with no fat on their chests (exercise restrictions). In addition, their skin has been exposed to wind and sun. Even if they put on a bikini, to be honest, they are not very absorbent. people.

In addition, the sport itself still comes down to competition. The two-person competition in sand volleyball greatly limits the development of this sport. The techniques and tactics are too simple, and it is not as good as a team of 6 people in indoor volleyball. The competition comes beautifully.

The third point: Indoor volleyball occupies the top spot in volleyball events

Another important reason why sand volleyball cannot develop is that indoor volleyball firmly controls the power of volleyball. , whether it is influence, commercial value, audience size, or even talent competition, sand volleyball has always been in a state of complete defeat. Just like basketball, three-man basketball has never been comparable to regular five-man basketball.

Let’s talk about Zhang Changning. Why did she give up sand volleyball and choose indoor volleyball? From the two perspectives of "women" and "athletes". As she said, she loves the sport of volleyball very much, but as a girl, everyone loves beauty. Sand volleyball is really not conducive to maintaining good looks, and it is not good for tanning and skin. It is difficult to prevent.

As an athlete, she also has to consider development and salary. There is no suspense in choosing one of the two. She can still engage in the volleyball sport she likes. There are many players like Zhang Changning who have switched from sand volleyball to indoor volleyball, and everyone’s thinking is basically the same.

So in the future, will beach volleyball have a chance to gain greater attention and success? What changes does it need to make?

First: Move indoors

Some people may think that the soul of sand volleyball is that it is open-air beach volleyball. If moving indoors, does it change the original intention? I think so. . However, if sand rowing is not moved indoors, it will be difficult for it to develop further. This is an inevitable result of environmental restrictions.

Of course, moving the sand volleyball team indoors requires a lot of professional support. For example, how to control the temperature of the viewing area and the competition area separately is a tricky problem. If you choose to isolate the partition, it will also reduce the temperature of the viewing area. race experience.

Second: Promote star-making

A large part of the charm of sports competitions is driven by stars, especially football and basketball. So how to create stars in sand volleyball, I think we have to start by changing the competition and look at the third point.

Third: Change the rules related to the competition

Many netizens on the Internet think that increasing the number of contestants will make sand volleyball more beautiful. In fact, I personally do not agree. Regarding this point, I think the Sand Volleyball League must have thought about and tried it, but the result was very ordinary, and such changes also violated the original intention.

I think it should be modified on the basis of the two-person system. As mentioned above, the biggest flaw of the two-person system is the lack of excellent technical and tactical coordination. Since there are not enough people, why not increase and highlight the display of personal talents! For example, whether it is possible to increase the number of hits, whether it is possible to hit the ball continuously, etc. I even wanted to add some content of Cuju (on a whim).

As long as the game itself becomes exciting and more playable, stars, fans, and commercial value will follow.
