I'd have to disagree, having a sister who played both high level indoor and beach volleyball. Both have very high level of competition but in my mind the two games aren't really comparable. In indoor my sister was no where near good enough to get a scholarship yet at the same time her and her beach partner were able to beat the girls they trained with, both of whom had indoor scholarships (one to a Pac-12 school and another to a Canadian University) on a regular basis.
At the end of the day its very similar to decathalets vs track specialists. Indoor players (like track specialists) tend to be amazing at a few aspects of the game, and with 6 players on the court that's fine. Beach players (like decathletes) aren't extremely good at one specific aspect of the game, but with only 2 players on the court they have to be decent at everything.
