Beach volleyball at the Olympics consists of two tournaments: one for the men, and one for the women. Each tournament is made up of 24 teams, which qualified for the Games by placing high enough in previous world rankings.

Americans Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh celebrate their victory over China's Tian Jia and Wang Jie in the women's final at the 2008 Beijing Games.

Players
A beach volleyball teams consists of two players. While a given player may be especially skilled at setting, digging, blocking, or hitting, each member of a team will do some of everything during a match. Two common roles are blocker and setter.

Blocker: The blocker is usually the biggest and most physical player on the team and may block at the net on every play, including when s/he serves. After hitting a serve, the blocker may run to the net and get into position to block the opponent's attack.

Setter: When a team has control of the ball, the setter's job is to bump the ball into a position for his/her teammate to execute an attacking hit.

2012 venue
Beach volleyball will be contested at the Horse Guards Parade in the Central Zone in London.
