🏐 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
❓ Do I need a partner to participate in a tournament?
✅ Yes, a partner is required.
Players are responsible for creating their own teams, and both players must register together.
🤔 What if I don’t have a partner? Can Precision Sand help me find one?
You don’t need a partner to attend training, but you’ll need to find one for tournaments.
Here’s how we can help:
- Attend training sessions to meet other sand players who are also looking for a partner.
- Let us know you’re searching, and we’ll connect you with others who may be looking too.
Training is a great way to build connections and find a partner who matches your skill level!
⛈️ Do tournaments get canceled due to weather?
We rarely experience weather-related cancellations. However, for safety reasons, we will cancel (and refund) if conditions become dangerous, such as:
- Heavy rain
- Audible thunder or visible lightning
💧 We will play in light rain, and all tournaments are considered ON unless otherwise notified by the Tournament Director.
➡️ Pro Tip: Always check our website the morning of the tournament for updates.
👕 What should I wear to train and compete?
Wear what makes you comfortable! Options include:
- Athletic swimwear
- Athletic shorts and a t-shirt or tank top
👯♀️ Matching outfits with your partner isn’t required but adds to the fun!
🌡️ Is the sand hot?
Yes, the sand can get very hot, especially during summer. We recommend:
🔥 Sand Socks – Available for purchase at our tournaments for $25 or online.
🧦 In a pinch, athletic socks can also help protect your feet.
⏰ How long do tournaments last?
Plan for 5-6 hours. Tournaments generally follow this structure:
- Pool Play: Initial round of games.
- Short Break
- Bracket Play: The more you win, the longer you stay!
⏱️ Players also take turns refereeing games throughout the day.
🌊 Do I need to train with a beach volleyball club to play in tournaments?
Absolutely not! Just find a partner and register together.
✅ Everyone is welcome to participate.
🏅 Do I have to train with Precision Sand to compete in your tournaments?
Nope! Our tournaments are open to all players, regardless of where you train.
🌐 We welcome players from all sand clubs across Northern California!
🚗 What if I’m running late for a tournament?
If you’re running late, contact the Tournament Director ASAP to notify them.
💡 Pro Tip: If possible, they may be able to schedule your team to sit out the first game.
❌ What is your cancellation policy?
Tournament fees are nonrefundable, but you have options:
- Sell Your Spot: You can sell your team’s spot to another team in the same age bracket.
- Notify Us: If the tournament is sold out, we’ll help pass along your information to interested teams.
📣 Once arrangements are made, contact the Tournament Director to update the team roster.
