Beach volleyball is a team sport played by two teams of two or more players on a sand court divided by a net.

Sepak takraw,or Sepaktakraw,also called kick volleyball or foot volleyball,is a team sport played with a ball made of rattan or synthetic plastic between two teams of two to four players on a court resembling a badminton court. It is similar to volleyball and footvolley in its use of a rattan ball and players using only their feet,knees,shoulders,chest and head to touch the ball. Sepak Takraw is often referred to as a mixture of volleyball,due to its use of a net,and association football,as players use their feet.
In sport,a goal may refer to either an instance of scoring,or to the physical structure or area where an attacking team must send the ball or puck in order to score points. The structure of a goal varies from sport to sport,and one is placed at or near each end of the playing field for each team to defend. For many sports,each goal structure usually consists of two vertical posts,called goal posts,supporting a horizontal crossbar. A goal line marked on the playing surface between the goal posts demarcates the goal area. Thus,the objective is to send the ball or puck between the goal posts,under or over the crossbar,and across the goal line. Other sports may have other types of structures or areas where the ball or puck must pass through,such as the basketball hoop. Sports which feature goal scoring are also commonly known as invasion games.
