The book: "Sands of
Time" The History of BEACH VOLLEYBALL, Volume #1: 1895-1969 is the first
book that has been devoted primarily to the history of BEACH VOLLEYBALL! There
are 272 pages of beach volleyball stories and anecdotes, along with tournament
results. The book includes nearly 500 photographs of the events, venues and
players of BEACH VOLLEYBALL.
In the first chapter, pages 1-28, cover the first 50 years of volleyball.
Most of this information relates to the indoor game. The indoor game was the
"motivation" for the game of "BEACH VOLLEYBALL." In order to
document the history of BEACH VOLLEYBALL, it was important to illustrate its
original "roots."
The remaining 244 pages cover BEACH VOLLEYBALL, beginning with the second
chapter, revealing the "Birth" of BEACH VOLLEYBALL and illustrating
how the indoor game contributed to the "conception" of the beach game.
You are then guided up to and through beach volleyball's "Golden"
years" of the 1950's in the third chapter. The fourth chapter covers the
1960's, referred to as the "Adolescent" years of BEACH VOLLEYBALL.
Some of the most amazing beach volleyball stories and events are described
along with the nearly 500 PHOTOGRAPHS of the people and events involved.
