Australia’s most famous beaches may restrict volleyball following complaints the sport poses a risk to other beachgoers. Informal games of beach volleyball are a regular sight at Sydney’s Bondi and Tamarama beaches, which allow three and four nets respectively. But complaints have prompted the local council to review the practice, as first reported by the Sydney Morning Heraldon Sunday. The mayor of Waverley Council, Paula Masselos, said it was too early to discuss potential outcomes from the review, including the prospect of any ban. A council spokeswoman said the community complaints related to the “location” of the courts and compliance with the rules.
