Beach Volleyball Sand
20 Years of Beach Volleyball Expertise
We've been constructing beach volleyball courts for the past 20 years. We've been manufacturing long lasting equipment here in the United States and instructing homeowners / contractors how to prep /drain courts properly. It's been disappointing in the past to build beautiful volleyball courts with great equipment in perfect settings and end up with bad sand.
Year after year we were asked where to find or buy good volleyball sand. Our stock answer in the past was to have you call around and ask for washed masonry sand. This answer has proved itself over and over to be the wrong one.
Why Finding Good Volleyball Sand is Challenging
When you call 10 or so local sand and gravel companies asking for volleyball sand they will tell you "they have something" or "this is what we have sold in the past." They are in the business of selling sand and it's very expensive to return so they get to sell a product with no return policy. It's very rare to speak to someone selling sand and gravel that plays beach volleyball.
The 3 Main Problems with Bad Volleyball Sand
Too Dusty
Creates poor playing conditions and visibility issues
Too Coarse
Causes cuts and scrapes on knees, elbows, and feet
Compacts Too Much
Becomes hard and uncomfortable after rainfall
Volleyball Sand is NOT Masonry Sand, Golf Course Bunker Sand or Play Sand
Example of Masonry Sand's Pea Gravel Content removed with VolleyballUSA.com's Grate Sand Device.
❌ Masonry Sand
AVOID- Typically full of dust, little pebbles, or both
- 3-5% dust content on average
- Some courts have 10% pea gravel content!
- Results in dusty, cutting, packing sand
Do not use golf sand for volleyball courts!!!
❌ Golf Course Sand
TOO ABRASIVE- Made to pass the "fried egg test" with golf balls
- Only half a golf ball should submerge
- Opposite of what you want for volleyball
- Results in scrapes, bruises, and injuries
Play sand contains excessive dust that creates poor playing conditions.
❌ Play Sand
TOO DUSTY- Designed for little kids to sit and play in
- Lower price = corners cut on quality
- Dust is not removed to keep costs low
- Very noticeable dust when playing volleyball

Our Different Approach
Source from Popular Beaches
We start with sand currently in use at popular spots around the country like Manhattan Beach, Santa Barbara, Ft. Myers, etc.
Match Nature's Best
We make our volleyball sands in major metropolitan areas to closely match these beach sands just like Mother Nature did.
Professional Processing
We pay sand plants to hydraulically spin the dust out and mechanically screen out small rocks and pebbles that scrape your skin.
Volume Advantage
Since we build so many courts, we can make thousands of tons at a time - something individual customers can't request.
