Sports that can be played on the street: basketball, park volleyball, beach volleyball.
STREET SPORTS. Among the most popular street sports we have: “Park volley”; “Beach volley”; “Sand volley” and “three on three (Basketball)”.
STREET SPORTS: PARK VOLLEYBALL. Park volleyball was born as a practice on grass. The game is played on a smaller court than the traditional one; it is a 4 against 4 and to play there are no defined roles assigned, anyone can attack and anyone can block. The height of the net varies from 215 to 243 cm. The team can be varied, men and women can play together. Compared to the traditional game, the rules of the game are simpler and the equipment is the same; there are no age or gender limits, it is recommended for beginners.
There is no second line foul, that is, all players can attack and block; the accompanying and double touch are sanctioned only in attacking actions; there is no invasion foul; it is not allowed to hold, touch or push the opponent. The ball is the same as volleyball. The dimensions of the court are 7 x 14 meters for children, while for adults 8 x 16; The matches are played in sets (2 out of 3, 3 out of 5) with a score of 25, the decisive set is played to 15 points. There is no limit for substitutions, the new player will take the place of the replaced teammate; in each set, when 13 points are reached, the court is changed. The roles are free, it is mandatory to alternate the service turn following the order established from the beginning of the set.
STREET SPORTS: BEACH VOLLEYBALL. Compared to the traditional game of volleyball, the net measures 243 cm for men and 224 for women, and the court measures 18 x 9 m. Beach volleyball was born as an amateur sport, but is now played in the championship with 2 by 2; this 2 by 2 requires advanced technique and familiarity with indoor volleyball. The ball has bright colours and weighs between 260 and 280 grams. Clothing includes shorts or a swimsuit and a shirt and tank top.
STREET SPORTS: SAND VOLLEYBALL. Both the court and the equipment are the same as those of beach volleyball. The team must consist of a maximum of 5 players, one of whom must be a reserve, and a coach. Each team is entitled to a maximum of two 60-second time-outs per set. Players can block or attack from any part of their court.
STREET SPORTS, THREE AGAINST THREE: BASKETBALL. Excellent learning system for children. Initially there was 5 against 5, here children tend to run after the ball and create confusion; 3 against 3 brings order with simple rules. 5-6 positions are shown that must occupy and change every time the ball is moved with a pass or a dribble; it is said that after passing to the right you must go to the left and so on from left to right; after a pass you cut to the basket which is considered one of the most dangerous movements in offensive basketball. 3 against 3 gives the opportunity to try new movements and improve the technique already learned. Incorrect execution, such as hits with the arms, pushes with the legs, leads to a search for perfect balance of the body until reaching the shot of the ball whether it is a pass or a dribble. This game does not require the presence of a referee, each player calls for the foul when he commits it.
