Printable beach volleyball match scoresheet template
The scoresheet is what settles any argument about a match. Here is a blank template ready to print on A4, designed for beach volleyball tournaments and leagues (and also valid for indoor), what each field should contain and how to avoid filling it in by hand if you organize a league.
Blank template
Press the button to print only the scoresheet (in the print dialog you can also save it as a PDF). It is a template for local tournaments and leagues, for clubs or amateurs. In beach volleyball, each pair only needs two player rows and the first three set columns (a match is usually best of three: 21, 21 and 15).

What each field should contain
Match details
Competition, matchday or phase, date, time and court. It seems obvious, but a scoresheet without a date or court is hard to use when, weeks later, you have to check who played and where.
Teams and players
The name of each team and the list of players with their numbers. If you play indoor, mark the libero; in beach volleyball there are only two players per pair. Also write down who the captain is and, if there is one, the coach. It is the proof of who played, especially in leagues with line-up rules or a minimum number of players.
Set-by-set result
Write down the final points of each set and the total sets of each team. If your competition plays a single set, fill in only the first column; in beach volleyball the usual is best of three (21, 21 and 15), so the first three are enough. Check the scores before signing: a mistake here is the origin of almost all complaints.
Officials and duration
The name of the first and second referee and of the scorer. The duration helps you adjust the schedule of the following rounds and spot matches that run long.
Sanctions and remarks
Record who was sanctioned, with what type of sanction, in which set and for what reason. In remarks, note everything that does not fit in another field: delays, injuries, incidents or a team's protest. If you write it down at the moment, it does not depend on anyone's memory.
Signatures
The usual is for the captains of both teams, the scorer and the first referee to sign at the end of the match. With the signatures, the scoresheet is considered accepted. Take a photo or photocopy before handing it in.
Tips so the scoresheet is never a problem
- Fill it in before you start: teams, players and referees are written down before the first serve, not at the end in a hurry.
- Have both captains sign: if a team refuses, note it in remarks.
- Keep a copy of every one: a photo with your phone is enough. In a long league, the scoresheets are your archive.
- One scoresheet per match: never put two matches on the same sheet.
This template is for local tournaments and leagues. If you compete in a federation league, always use your federation's official scoresheet.
