What skills should a six year old be able to do?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Volleyball is a complex sport; even varsity players still need to practice and learn new skills. A six year old should be able to bump or pass the ball and maybe hit if they can reach over the net. It's not a recommended sport for kids under ten or eleven. They may be able to do drills but not actually play in a game.

Why is the volleyball made from leather?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The soccer ball was made out of leather in the early years of the game because leather is flexible and durable, and of all the materials available at the time, it was the best choice. Leather was used to cover the animal bladders that formed the air sack inside the ball. Synthetic materials were experimented with as chemistry developed, and eventually leather was discontinued as the construction material of choice. The new synthetic materials were flexible, durable and would permit a ball to retain its shape. Most importantly, the new materials absorbed less water than leather, and water adsorption was always a concern with the leather ball. Just as an aside, today's soccer balls are all synthetic because of the superbly uniform performance of the material and the ability to resist moisture. Synthetic's overall performance has surpassed leather's so it's better for ball construction.

A high school girls vooleyball net is at 7 feet and 4 inches. Is there a rule about the volleyball pole height?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No, not necessarily. The net has to be 7 feet 4 inches all the way across but from my knowlege as an athlete no, no restrictions on the pole. However, I imagine you won't find volleyball poles much higher than 7 feet 5 inches. They usually make them about the hight of the net.

What short do you wear for volleyball?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

No.

Height gives you an advantage in volleyball since, if you are positioned at the net, you will be better able to spike the ball (that is, to hit it so that it moves downwards rather than upwards, making it tremendously harder to intercept). However, shorter people can still play volleyball, much as they can still play basketball. It may be harder to do, but certainly not impossible.

What is the average speed of a women's volleyball serve?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In tennis, the average speed of a serve for a man can range from from 70mph up to the world record of 163.7 mph. A pro would average in the high end, 120-130mph.

As of March 2014, the fastest professional serve speed for a man is held by Samuel Groth at 163.7mph (263.4 km/h). This was set at the 2012 Busan Open Challenger Tennis.

Additionally, other top speed servers include:

  • Milos Raonic
  • Akbano Olivetti
  • Ivo Karlovic
  • Jerzy Janowicz
  • John Isner
  • Andy Roddick
  • Taylor Dent
  • Benjamin Becker

Height does seem to play a factor in how fast a player can serve the ball.
