History

The Beach Basketball was created because of the necessity to pratice for the principal male basketball team of Peruibe Basketball Association. Because the city only has one sports gymnasium, in which is used for all of the practicing sports, this interferred with the daily practice of the principal team of basketball. The coach Agustin Stin, resolved the problem by taking the practices to the beach.

What started out as practices in the open air, with time was being perfectd and modified to become Beach Basketball. This all happened in October of 1997.

The creation was only on paper for a little while then it was decided by the Beach Basketball Association to promote and publish this brand new sand sport. On the 24th and 25th of January 1998 with the stands monted, teams formed, and the coverage by the media, it was register as the start of the male Beach Basketball. On the 10th of May 1998 there was a start of female Beach Basketball.
