Essential Beach Volleyball Equipment

Be sure to pack everything you need in advance – last-minute packing on tournament day almost always leads to forgetting something important! Here is our checklist of the tournament essentials:

• Insulated Water Bottle – One of the most important things for a beach volleyball tournament is to stay hydrated! We have water available at the facility to refill your bottle as much as you need.
• Gym Bag – Keep all your belongings organized in one place.
• Team Uniform or Comfortable Clothes – If you’re playing with a team, be sure to coordinate your uniforms or team colors in advance. Most teams opt for comfortable, breathable, moisture-wicking gear like tank tops and shorts to help keep you cool and focused during the game.
• Extra Clothes – Once you’ve finished playing for the day, you’ll want to get out of your sweaty and sandy tournament gear and into some fresh clothes!
• Flip-Flops or Sandals – Choose footwear that’s easy to slip on and off, allowing you to comfortably move around the venue when you’re not on the court.
• Towels – Bring a beach towel to wipe off sweat and sand.
• Sand Socks – Some players choose to wear sand socks instead of going barefoot, as they offer improved traction and extra comfort while playing on the sand.
• Athletic Tape – If you rely on athletic tape, don’t forget to pack it – it’s essential for preventing new injuries and providing extra support to any existing ones.
• Knee Pads – If you prefer to play in pads, make sure to pack them in your gym bag!
• Phone Charger – Everyone always forgets this one! If you have a portable charger, bring it as a backup.
• Hair Clips/Ties – Beach volleyball is a lot more fun without hair in your face!
• Snacks – Energy bars, fruit, and other light snacks help you stay fueled throughout the whole tournament.
