Does anyone have referenced rules/cases in both FIVB and USAV for this fault?

When a back-row setter is going up to play the ball at or near the net, what are the potential faults that the R1 should be on the lookout for?

Here is a minute of me setting from various places on the court at game speed.

Please give me advice on how to improve and try to be as specific as possible on ones that look good versus bad and exactly what I could do to correct any of my bad habit or reinforce any good ones (if I have any).

Only been playing for a few months so anything helps and I appreciate anyone who watches and gives feedback :)

EDIT: For clarity, despite what it looks like, I am not trying to jump set. I developed that weird hop habit when I felt like I wasn’t getting enough power behind my sets. Please point me to how to break this habit and what I could focus on to get that power without thinking I need to hop (form wise, not just wrist strength)

what do you guys think my vert is? i am 5’4 and have been training it for a little while now. The camera angle is very low so the jumps can look better than they are

Any feedback is appreciated , mostly looking at getting clean swings , cause my shoulder is definitely feeling it two days after.

Hey everyone I'm looking to buy some Molten Beach Volleyball after not being impressed by the Wilson optx. I was looking at a couple and was wondering if anyone has experience with these in terms of durability and feel. I know they are not as popular but I just want to try something new.

I'm still pretty new to volleyball so I'm open to other brands but can't find an outdoor/beach volleyball that has that grip feel like the indoor flistatecs.

I'm just impressed by howe, an undersized middle but has a towering block. The best part is howe can also fly😭

With 3700 teams registered and another 500 on the waitlist, the Waupaca Boatride tournament is next weekend, July 9-12th in Oshkosh, WI, USA. The teams will be playing on 450 courts (60 more than last year) and 8 skill level and age divisions.

This thread is to provide some useful information and a place to ask questions for those attending. Updates to be added as they become available. (Court map, camping maps etc)

** I am not affiliated with the tournament in any way, besides participating, but will answer any questions to the best of my ability.

GENERAL INFO

Check in on the app the night before or morning of ahead of time. Courts are numbered sequentially generally though court maps are very helpful. There is a little tag on each net that has the court's number.

Bringing your own shade is highly recommended, as is sunscreen. Pop-up tents can be set up around the outsides of the play areas, these tents will end up being 2, 3,4, and 5 layers deep. Be friendly with your neighbors and respectful of others belongings. Make friends with those around you, it's one of the best parts of the Boatride!

Mobile connectivity is spotty at best. Look at maps and courts ahead of time.asknyour neighbors with help recording scores of your phone doesn't work, or visit one of the few tournament tents set up around the site.

Record your scores on the website/app. Every year there are teams that get DQed because they don't record a score or aren't where they need to be in a timely manner. You will have other courts' balls on your court...stop play for safety's sake, and just replay the point if there is any question.

The main courts and bleachers have moved this year. There is more seating than in years past, but do not rush onto courts to get seating or a better view, it turns into a mess every year.

No pets. No bikes, scooters, mopeds, etc.

FOOD & DRINKS

Food and drinks will be available for purchase. Free drinking water is available throughout the grounds for the players and spectators.

To support Brighton Acres and its fantastic venue, coolers, kegs, and carry-ins will no longer be permissible at the Center Court matches or inside the main building. Brighton will have plenty of staff in the arena to serve your needs. Backpacks are subject to search. Please be respectful of this rule, as we like hosting the tournament at this venue.

There are food vendors, but lines get quite long. Many people bring coolers with everything they need for the day.

GENERAL ADMISSION/SPECTATORS

Spectators are free, there is no general admission fee.

PARKING

In lieu of charging admissions, there is a daily parking fee of $20 per vehicle.

Plan accordingly, it takes time to park all the vehicles and to walk to the courts and set up, be sure to leave plenty of time for yourself.

My arm swing is so ass and I’m tryna fix it while my approach I need to drive up harder Fs but it’s so much harder to swing with how long my arms are

I m still learning so my technique probably wouldn’t be the BEST but I can hit the ball atleast and serve okay. I do have sensitive skin so idk if it’s normal, it doesn’t itch though. But yes my bones kinda hurt (tiny bit). Will the ball stop feeling heavy on my arm over time? Are there any tips I can do to prevent red spots?

I was going through old photos and realized it looks like I jumped high in this photo from 4 years ago, but there's no way I jumped as high as it looks. Looks like 2.5 feet by guessing it's a little before the jump's peak, but I can barely get that now with playing sports almost every day, and regular gym + cardio, so getting it back then seems hard to believe. What would a fair estimate be for the vertical?

This visualization is from Hudl. It has an option to show trajectories of various actions. In this image, it shows the trajectories of the dig actions that it has detected for the Libero. Aside from being a cool visualization, what do I make of it? For a Libero, should the trajectory paths bunch up where the setters normally position? In this team, the setters are normally in quadrants 2 and 4.

I've tried figuring out the speed of my serves but its pretty difficult to do so without a speed gun... Im guessing maybe high 80's maybe 90s?

Not a great photo but can anyone give me a rough idea of my vertical? For reference I’m 6’4 and my standing reach is 8 feet

Hey r/volleyball

As both an organizer and player I've always found it difficult to find places to play volleyball, especially when travelling. Meetups and open gyms are scattered among various apps (Meetup, Reclub, Facebook Groups, Instagram), excel spreadsheets and word of mouth.

So I decided to design a solution..

https://findvolleyball.app/ is a free website, no ads, community driven map that allows you to find places to play Volleyball near you. Filter by things like indoor/grass/beach, paid vs free, and days of the week.

If you know of a meetup in your area that plays volleyball please consider hitting Add Listing. This site isn't meant to replace the apps we use to organize our sessions, listings will have an external link to them. Feedback and feature requests are welcomed!

Mods: I don't make any money from site traffic and there are no advertisements. I just have a "buy me a coffee link". I've posted this as a genuine tool for the community, not trying to advertise.
