FAQ

🏐 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.
