Answer 5

Some colleges may have certain standards in these areas but to my knowledge most don't.  All of these things are an asset to a volleyball players arsenal and always need to be improved upon.  Your position could also affect the expectations.

Your best bet is to find your current bests in all these areas and more.  Then set reachable goals so you can get out there and improve.  And then once you reach those goals set more even higher.

Answer 6

For all sports, 40 inches plus is usually an excellent vertical.  For volleyball, height is the number one asset you can have.  Unfortunately, we can't really improve on that as it's a trait we are born with.
