After dark, volleyball games continue on Da Nang’s beachfront. Under artificial lights, players jump at the net while spectators watch from the sand.

Volleyball is a popular recreational sport in Vietnam, played alongside football and badminton. In Da Nang, an active beach volleyball community organises social games, training and tournaments for local and international players.

These photographs follow an evening around the court, from airborne contests to quieter moments on the sidelines. Players rest in the sand, groups gather to watch, and attention returns to the ball. The beach becomes a shared space for competition, exercise and spending time together.
