What are some myths about volleyball?

That you can't get pregnant if its your first game.

A lot of folks on the beach think you can get away with an arbitrarily sloppy set on the first ball chanting the refrain, "but it was hard-driven!"  Under USAV Beach rules, this is false.

The hard-driven ball clause in USAV beach rules only applies to lifts, not double contacts:

USAV Beach 1998-99

13.4.3 - The ball must be contacted cleanly and not held, lifted, pushed, caught, carried or thrown.  The ball cannot roll or come to rest on any part of the player's body.  It can rebound in any direction.

 

13.4.3.1 - An exception shall be allowed during the defensive play of a hard-driven ball (an attack-hit or blocked ball traveling at a high rate of speed), as judged by the referee.  in that case, the ball may be momentarily lifted or pushed, provided the attempt is one continuous motion.

The opinion that fit women playing beach volleyball do not have to wear bikini's, is a myth

One outrageous urban myth that I've heard about volleyball is that it's interesting to watch!
