How is beach volleyball different from indoor volleyball?

#1- Court size
The size of an indoor court is 18m x 9m and a beach court is 16m x 8m.  Also, an indoor court has a line called the 10 foot line, and the back row players can't hit the ball from in front of the 10 foot line.  In beach volleyball there is no restriction of where you can hit from.

#2- Balls
Indoor volleyballs are made of leather and are heavier than beach volleyballs.  Beach volleyballs are softer and are a little bit bigger than indoor volleyballs.  The blue volleyball is an indoor ball and the yellow volleyball is a beach ball

#3- Number of Players
In indoor volleyball there are six players on each side of the court.  In beach volleyball there are two players on each side of the court.
