【推荐3】Beach volleyball is one of the most interesting sports in the world. In the 1920s, people first played it for fun in California, USA. At that time, only men played beach volleyball. The first two-man beach volleyball game was in 1930. It became an Olympic sport for both men and women in 1996.
To play beach volleyball, you need a ball, a net, and lots of sand. In a game, two players play on the sand for each team. If the team gets two sets, they will win the game.
