Yes I have, although not professionally, or even at any real level of competition. I've played it casually, with 4 on 4. It's one heck of a workout. I can't imagine how anyone could ever say that it's not a sport.
and at the level these ladies play, it's really something to watch.

I agree. I consider myself somewhat athletic, but the one and only time I played beach volleyball I was stunned by how difficult it was to move on the sand. I was totally embarrassed! (It was a company sponsored competition, so you can IMAGINE my humiliation!).
