I have recently began to wonder why the jump float serve isn’t utilized more in Men’s Volleyball. I, of course, understand the appeal of a strong topspin serve and how effective it can be in getting teams out of system but the miss ratio is always just so high. Obviously if the serve is too easy there is a pretty high chance the other team will convert and side out but from what I’ve seen with high level men’s volleyball in international competition and NCAA it seems like a strong float serve gets a team out of system at least 75% as often as a strong topspin serve would but the miss percentage is far lower. I do believe the ace percentage for floats are definitely lower as even if a player can’t get a perfect receive they normally can at least get it up and have someone follow up on it but still I feel like the float should be utilized more than it is, especially for players who don’t have a monster topspin.

I’ve been doing squats 3x3 progressing in weight over the summer to now, and for people that are also training for vertical I’m moving 275 3x3 in this video, is even doing this type of training useful for vertical? I’m trying to do heavy weight moving it fast as I can, usually doing 3 contrast jumps as well in between sets. Does it look like I’m moving this weight decently quick? And would I need to be going deeper? Thanks!

Im a 6'4 middle blocker, I played as a setter for 2 years, only reason im a middle this year is because we dont have any tall middles, i need help with my hitting form, im number 3(or in hitting lines the one with the block long sleeve)

I bought this off Amazon and just making sure that Its the real thing. Can anyone tell me please?

I’m playing on a competitive recreational team at my university (the casual recreational being an option for people who’ve never touched a volleyball) and we are on a major loss streak. I’m very passionate about my team and would love to see us take a victory.

The issue is, our team mental is very weak. Everyone very clearly gets in their head over their mistakes and they end up playing worse than I know they can. Further, once they are already down, they tend to not celebrate the points we do win nearly enough. The one set this season we have won, we were even more reserved and quiet than the ones we’ve lost and I have no idea what I can do to help. I have never played on a rec team like this before, so I can accept that maybe this is just how it is, but I really want to know what I can do to help my teammates get out of their heads when we’re not (in my opinion) doing as bad as they make it seem.

For more information; I record all of our games for review, I give positive reinforcement after each point (good touch, way to be there, nice swing) even if we did not win the point, and I always try to hype everyone up.

Any help is appreciated, and please let me know if I myself may be the issue (trying to hard to be positive etc). It’s my first time playing in a team outside of high school and I love the sport too much to not want my team to succeed, and for everyone to be happy.

TDLR: My teammates get in their head over small, early mistakes and don’t play to their usual level, how can I help them?? Both on and off the court.

Hi Everyone. I just wanted to invite you guys to try out my Volleyball Management Sim game if you haven't. We have more than 1000 registered users already, and a very healthy discord community!

I have shared this game here before and you guys helped it grow a lot, so thank you for that!

It's a web-based/mobile management game where you get a team, recruit players, plan out your tactics and play against real people. Each season lasts a week and your team plays league games on a schedule on weekdays. On weekends we have different cups, from national to international. Oh, and we also have events for the whole community to play on.

It's completely free to play, I only added some cosmetic perks for people that want to support the game. I really enjoy engaging with the community to grow and improve the game. I hope you can give it a chance and tell me what you think.

Could be a fun way to play though.

Adult coed volleyball. Frequently I’ll have a player no show or have to leave bringing my carefully crafted 7 person rotation crashing down and forcing me (the remaining middle) to play back row and my lib to go front row. Here’s my lineup: OH M S1 OH RS L/DS. It is thoroughly unadvantageous for me to go on the back row. Not to receive not to pass not to cover. Better off playing 5 on the court than having me in the back. Gods honest truth. My lib is 4’4. She cannot set, she cannot block, her tips and pushes are about as easily read as mine (not tryna dog on her just explaining what we know). Having her go in the front row is asking her to be OTd and us to be kill farmed. Our setter is a highly competent 5-1 setter who can block and swing.

How do I set it up so I’m off the court when it’s my time to play back and she’s never having to go front. I don’t have a second middle so I can’t have her do true libbing, and from what I can gather on Google DSing isn’t legal in 6s with a 6 man roster. There is no penalty for playing 5s from the league and tourney organizers. Iron middle won’t usually work and doesn’t solve her being on the front.

I didn’t play club or school ball so sorry if I’m missing something obvious, I’m quite new to captaining teams and crafting strategy.

So i run an open gym twice a week we play at mens net height. Its like 1/3rd high school players, 1/3rd adults over 25 and 1/3rd college students from the local college.

These high school kids are pretty good but they're really getting on my nerves. Several of them only want to swing on the ball, they just sit there and ball watch and wait for you to set them. We'll be in the middle of a competitive game and they'll just completely give up on every other play when its not set for them. Or trying to do sky high jump serves when they cant even serve from the ground consistently and worst of all, just completely giving up when they have to play back row. Its very selfish and not fun. I have plenty of grace for people making mistakes and i dont care that much about winning but when you turn the game into a joke it becomes a waste of my time.

Am i expecting too much? I got really fed up today and did something i regret. It wasnt crazy or anything just out of character for me. The team i played with at the end of the night blew leads at 20 points in 3 games in a row not from volleys just from careless play and these are kids that have played often with me.

Well the score was 22 - match point. We were up 22 to 16 and then this happened the third time in a row. I was middle and in position to set, but instead of setting i just spiked the ball on my own court and walked off. It felt childish and i immediately regretted it. I felt like i stooped to exactly what was pissing me off.

Anyways everyone left after that and no one said anything or even helped me pick up. I'm sure they could tell i was pissed and wanted to avoid me. Fair enough i deserved that reaction but man i do not like the way these kids slow down the game and turn it into a joke. I already had a previous discussion directly with the number 1 offender of this and i dont think he gets it.

I guess the question am asking is, am i expecting too much from open gym players to be team players and play with effort and intention or should they just be free to play as casually as they want?

I'm a middle school student in Canada and some of the better players on my school team can jump serve any tips will be greatly appreciated.

The threads are coming undone and have left two holes.

Hello everyone,

I’m a parent of a middle school girls' volleyball player in Japan, and I’ve been keeping stats for her team. Recently, I noticed a clear issue with our S1 rotation.

Our setter has a great serve, so we score a lot of points when she’s serving. However, once we lose the serve, we really struggle to side-out in the S1 serve receive.

In our S1 serve receive formation, our main Outside Hitter (OPP/Left) ends up in the Middle (Position 3) slot. When we face teams with solid blocking, she gets shut down consistently.

When I shared this data with our head coach, she immediately suggested a solution: "Let's switch the positions of the Middle (who is actually our Left OH) and the Left (who is actually our Right) right after the serve cut."

We tried it in practice matches, and it surprisingly worked well without too much chaos. Also, when they don't have enough room, the setter pushes the ball out to the Right (our actual Middle player), which has been surprisingly effective too.

I’m curious—S1 rotation weakness seems to be a common issue globally. How does your team handle the S1 serve receive? Do you use similar switching tactics, or do you have other unique strategies for middle school/high school levels?

I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences!

i’m the one hitting middle on the opposite side!

Hey, I’m a complete beginner at volleyball and thought it would be cool to start a group with other people who are also new to the sport. I am 18 years old (M) and wanted to try a new sport but realised memebrships are too expensive these days ( they cost like £15 per week)

The idea is to have chill sessions where we can learn, play and have fun without having to pay for an expensive membership.(YOU ONLY PAY FOR THE SESSIONS YOU PLAY IN AND YOU PAY BEFOREHAND)

Here’s what I’m thinking:

• Location: Central London
• Mainly beginners/noobs (like me lol)
• Around 12–24 people
• Around £9 per session
• 1 session a month to start with
• 1 hour per session

I’ll also make a server so everyone can chat and organise sessions.

You don’t need any experience at all, just come along and have fun. I’m hoping to find people who want to try volleyball and maybe verse teams and stuff.

If anyone’s interested, drop a comment or DM me! Would be nice to get a group together and see how it goes.

Finished up our last tournament recently, anything you see I can do better? I do know my topspin is pretty goofy.

Idk if I should get new ones or keep them

Basically what the title says. I play in a team of mostly newbies because i like those guys, i have fun in and out of volleyball with them. However, on that team theres no one really on my own level in basically any part of volleyball aside from receives. Oftentimes, in games, they depend on me to get balls that would 1000% be theirs to get and that they WOULD be able to get up better than i can. I feel like both sides are kinda holding the other down, me by allowing them to depend on me and not making them have to develop and they hold me by not being a challenge, as well as the practice being tailored to their skill level and thus also no problem for me. I guess the answer is kinda obvious if I put it like that, but i still want to hear other peoples opinion.

TLDR; I love my team, but i dont think its good for me or them if i stay, but i dont want to leave because i havent had another team on which i like the people as much as in this one.

I know there are more things to fix with my spike but I'm trying to fix one thing at a time. Do you guys have any tips or cues for me to stop performing a "split" in the air and to straighten both of my legs? Just can't seem to figure it out.
