Yep. Two on two beach volleyball (I know...."two on two"....ha ha ha). It's been popular here in the States for years, and has been growing in popularity recently:

It's a very exciting sport. And it's called "beach" volleyball because it's basically designed to be played in the sand. I don't think two person teams could be anywhere near as effective if they were playing on a solid floor since a huge percentage of plays involve diving headlong to the ground. The injuries would be out of control.
