Absolutely! Beach volleyball is the best cross-training tool for indoor players. Unlike indoors, there are only two players on a team. This maximizes the contacts for each person since both players will have to pass, set, hit, block, and play defense in every single rally. The amount of volleyball repetitions, coupled with the low impact cardio and resistance training of playing in the sand creates an ideal environment for training!
