    I was just wondering how many people on this forum are into volleyball..
    Does anyone here play at a high level? Which do you prefer, beach or indoor?
    Beach season just starting up now =) I'm excited haha. I've got my first tournament in 2 weeks, june 6th. Gonna be a blast, can't wait to finally get on the beach again.

    Something I HATE though, is the amount of people that say volleyball is a girl's sport. I'd like to see someone get hit in the face with a ball going 150 mph and call it a girl's sport. =D

    And to basketball/volleyball/soccer/whatever sport you play players, what's your vertical? (Include height and weight and age too if possible)
    I'm 16, 5'9", 145lbs, 35" vertical... I like my high jumping skills =D

    Lol.

    I'm into volleyball but only recreation.
    Play at the park with friends to keep in touch.
    Can't jump nor run in the sand :(

    Volleyball is fun, but I only play it recreationally.

    And I think volleyball gets its reputation as a girls' sport due to the fact that people would much rather watch girls' volleyball than mens'. Just saying :p.

    I was on the volleyball team 6th-8th grade, but when high school came along I couldn't do it any longer because my spine is a bit messed up and it kept bruising my back. And though school is out, next year in gym about half a semester will be spent playing sand volleyball so I'm looking forward to it.

    YAY neofriends people (kinda) play volleyball! :p
    I don't know how to play recreationally. I only play to win... Which is why I can't just play for fun... Lol.

    Power/libero. I could have been a setter if I trained to be one early on lol. I've got good hands and I'm quick. I'm only 5'9", but I have a 35" vertical =)
