Info for Competitive/advanced play (to help you determine if you should be at advanced or recreational):
While we appreciate everyone’s eagerness to play, it is important that participants skill levels are at the level required for the league. Playing in a competitive league requires a level of skill and sportsmanship to maintain the quality of the games and the league. It's important to play at a level that is fair and enjoyable for everyone involved – it is also a safety concern.
There are several skills required to play competitive volleyball at a high level. These include:
Serving: A good serve is essential in volleyball, and players must be able to serve with power and accuracy.
Passing: Players must be able to pass the ball accurately to their teammates, as passing is the foundation of any offensive play.
Setting: The setter is responsible for setting up the ball for the hitters, and must have good hands and be able to set the ball with precision.
Hitting: The ability to hit the ball with power and accuracy is crucial for a competitive volleyball player. Players must be able to approach the net, jump, and hit the ball with proper form and technique.
Blocking: Blocking is an important defensive skill in volleyball, and players must be able to jump and time their block correctly to stop the opposing team's attack.
Digging: A good defensive player must be able to dig the ball, which means they must be able to receive a hard-hit ball and control it so their team can continue the play.
Communication: Volleyball is a team sport, and communication is crucial for success. Players must be able to communicate effectively with their teammates, calling out plays, and supporting each other on the court.
Agility and Coordination: Volleyball is a fast-paced sport that requires quick movements and rapid changes in direction. Players must be agile and coordinated to be able to move around the court and make plays.
Strategy: Volleyball is not just about physical skills; it also requires strategic thinking and the ability to read the game. Players must be able to analyze their opponents and adjust their game plan accordingly.
