Beach volleyball is a team sport played on sand. Two teams, positioned on either side of a net which divides a rectangular court, hit a volleyball, usually using the hands or arms. The official rules call for two players per team. Players on each team attempt to hit the ball over the net in such a way so that it touches the ground inside the court boundaries, and to prevent the ball from touching the ground on their own side of the court.

Beach volleyball was first incorporated into the Olympic Games in 1996 and the Asian Games in 1998.

The beach volleyball of the Hangzhou Asian Games will be held in Ningbo Banbianshan Beach Volleyball Centre from September 19 to September 28, and the athletes will compete for 2 gold medals.
