<description><![CDATA[On the beach when you get called because you "threw the ball" that is considered a violation that's been committed because your upper body, hands and arms were facing in one direction but you set the ball outside the plane of your body to another direction.

<description><![CDATA[There's nothing wrong with hand setting when you are first learning how to play beach volleyball. In fact, hand setting is the first thing an indoor player will want to do because they've trained to do it for so long in indoor volleyball and as a hitter I prefer getting and overhand set because I find (and many others do too) that I can time my spike approach better if I see my partner setting the ball from using the traditional over the head technique. But this too is the result of years of indoor volleyball training and just like everything that you first try to learn, with practice comes improvement.]]></description>
