PRONUNCIATION GUIDE
2016 SOUTH CAROLINA beach Volleyball
NOTEWORTHYSeries History vs. UAB• South Carolina leads the all-time series with UAB 3-0.• Carolina defeated UAB twice last season with a pair of 4-1 victories. The Blazers hosted the Gamecocks in a dual match on March 10, 2015, and the two
teams later faced off again at the Gamecock Invitational March 22, 2015.• The Gamecocks’ victory at UAB on March 10, 2015 was the program’s first true road win.
Scouting Coastal Carolina• The Chanticleers are entering their inaugural season, becoming the school’s 19th intercollegiate athletic program.• Coastal Carolina is led by Jozsef Forman, who is in his fourth season as the head coach of the indoor volleyball program.• The Chanticleers have 13 players on the roster, including one senior, two juniors, four sophomores and six freshmen.
Schedule Gets Tougher• Carolina will face eight teams ranked in the top 20 in the DiG Magazine Preseason Poll in 2016, including six teams that played in the 2015 AVCA Sand
Volleyball National Championships.• No. 1 Southern Cal, No. 5 FIU, No. 6 Florida State, No. 8 Georgia State, No. 10 Stetson, No. 15 Grand Canyon and No. 18 are all on Carolina’s schedule
this season.
NCAA Championship• Division I, II and III have approved beach volleyball as a championship and have made it a full-fledged NCAA Championship. This is the 90th NCAA
championship. • The NCAA also made the decision to change the name of the sport from sand volleyball to beach volleyball based on membership support from all three divi-
sions’ championship committees, AVCA and USA Volleyball.• The fastest emerging sport in NCAA history had 50 schools sponsoring the sport as of January 2015.• The sport had just 16 teams in its inaugural season in 2012. Carolina was the first school in the SEC to add the sport, followed by LSU.• The 2016 championship will feature an eight-team bracket with a double elimination format and will be held in early May in Gulf Shores, Ala.
There’s a Difference?• Although beach volleyball and indoor volleyball have plenty of similarities, they also have several differences, including a court size of 16m x 8m compared to
18m x 9m.• Each team event is called a dual and consists of five pairs for each team.• A winner is determined when a team wins three of the five pairs matches. Each pairs match is a best-of-three format. The first two sets are rally scoring to 21
points with the third set to 15 if necessary.• There is no open-hand tipping in beach volleyball.• The block touch does count as the first of three allowable touches in beach volleyball.• With the weather elements, pairs swap courts every seven points in a 21-point set and every five points in a 15-point set.• Beach coaches are only allowed to give instructions to players during timeouts and between sets.
