Choosing between volleyball or tennis?

Question

i am 179 pounds and 5'5. i don't know what to choose. i don't want to be the only round one there. please give me some advice.

Answer 1

If you are strong for your size, I would say volleyball. Serves and spikes require a lot of strength. You are tall enough to block if you work on your jumping. If you are more quick, go for tennis. It requires quickness, agility, and endurance.

Answer 2

Tennis

I am addicted to tennis, it so amazing. Good luck!

Answer 3

hi!! i'm from italy!! i don't know how many metres are 5'5... and height in volleyball is very important if you wanna play at good levels.... anyway i think you have to consider if you wanna be alone, the one who wins and loses!! or if you wanna play in a team, and share your victories and all the emotions with your mates....... it depends.... i think that both sports are wonderful, and choose one of them it's really hard

Answer 4

it doesnt matter, your weight or your height doesnt matter at all. but setters are usually short, so you can play either or.

Answer 5

Tennis

Answer 6

why not play both? they're in two different seasons anyways. and dont worry about looking 'round' most girls dont notice anyway

Answer 7

First, let me tell you most of the girls that play volleyball aren't exactly skinny. = ) Promise. As long as you have muscles then you're good to go for volleyball. For serving and hitting you can get the weight behind the ball making it harder and faster. Also, even passing is an option as long as you're ready for everything that comes your way you'll be great.

I played with a girl in your predicament but she was a little shorter and man was she good. She was our setter and got  every ball hit to her up. Even on passing she was on the floor more than the rest of us combined.

Good luck and hope it all works out!

Answer 8

embrace your curves. Both are great sports. what do you think you prefer most?

volley-ball mostly plays inside

Tennis - outside

any decision would be a great choice =)

Answer 9

i am about the same as you cept bout 3-4 lbs heavier and 2.5 inches taller and i play volleyball and am an outside hitter i would suggest volleyball especially beach volleyball lots of fun and you dont have to buy any equipment except if you need knee pads which arfe like 10 - 15 bucks volleyball all the way

Answer 10

It is your choice, both are good sports. Just keep in mind that volleyball is inside so you wouldn't get too hot and tennis is outside so you might get really hot. But it is your choice! GOOD LUCK WITH WHITCHEVER ONE YOU CHOSE!
