Answer 1

I would SAY:

- WE are very competitive

- We are Athletic

- We have nice butts!!! LOL

- We aren't really girlie

- We are strong and tough

- We can take a hit...Wether it may be in the face with a ball or a burn on the hip from diving to the ground!!! We can take a big load of beatings!!!!

Answer 2

s***w john p! I think volleyball is a great sport, and it's hecka lot more competitive than dragging people down. Honestly, I can't say anything bad about my steriotypical volleyball player. I see them as athletic, aggressive, tall (shocker I know!), and good natured. One of my good friends is a volleyball player, so all her traits basically make up my steriotypical volleyball player.           : )

Answer 3

i think volleyball girls are more snobbish than other sports girls. i play for a Senior Varsity team and its sometimes pretty bad

Answer 4

The stereotype is that it is a women's sport, and that guys who play are g*y. This is obviously not true, but it is what people believe because volleyball is more popular for women then me. Also, there is a steriotype that volleyball players are not the best athletes, and being a competitive volleyball player myself, I must admit that there is some truth to this.

In the U.S. there are many other sports that are more popular, and that means that lots of great athletes are drawn away. But that doesn't mean that vball does not take athleticism. Volleyball is the most difficult sport in some respects. In P.E. classes, it is possible to play softball, basketball, and football, because they are not too difficult to pick up, but volleyball does not work very well because of one simple fact...

People who don't play volleyball almost always suck at it. It is not an easy sport, and when baseball, basketball, and football players try to play it, and can't, they become frustrated. They start to mess around on purpose to hide the fact that they really blow. So no, volleyball is not an easy sport.

Answer 5

im a vb player..i have a big butt along with a big attitude and big sense of humor..i play around on and off the court..yes..coach gets mad..but vb players are human also..oyu know..

Answer 6

hey im a volleyball player! im supper tall standing at 5'9 and skinny as well. im a middle hitter! at my tournaments i have seen some BIG girls--- and i mean big! volleyball isnt really about being super skinny its about being agressive and ready to hit the ball. and you also cant be scared of the ball-- which means NO WHIMPSSSS. :]

Answer 7

i've found out from a few people, mostly men, that they think volleyball isn't a difficult sport and doesn't take athleticism or talent... which really angers me. most people have an idea in their head that playing volleyball for a team is exactly like playing volleyball in someone's back yard at a barbecue.  they don't realize that playing for a team takes much more discipline and structure and it's more involved. we have positions and we run plays - it's not just goofing around and trying to get the ball over the net however you can.

i've also heard a few people make comments that the "type of girls" that play volleyball aren't that athletic.  they compare volleyball girls to chearleaders, and that pisses me off.  some people have said "you don't even break a sweat playing volleyball" and "you don't have to be in shape." well i know that when i play it's more fast-paced than some back yard game, and you do have to be in shape. some people also think that since it's not a contact sport, you don't have to be strong or tough to play.  

i'm a true athlete and i know that.  i'm not some small wimpy girl, and i make sure to let people know this if they make these kinds of comments.  i'd love to put some guy that's only ever played "barbecue volleyball" on a court with me and see if he can do what i can!  i'd spike that ball down his throat. :)

Answer 8

i am in vball and i am tall very super aggresive and athletic prity much just like the clash r  said

Answer 9

A good player must be quick, intuitive, athletic, a team player and smart.  If anyone questions any of these traits, have them check out a  good college match.

Answer 10

I luv volleyball!! I always look forward playing it in gym! No matter if people think it is really a sport or not, it's really energizing =D

Answer 11

volleyball isnt as easy as it looks!!! if you dont land right it can seriously hurt you. a friend of mine hurt her shoulder when she landed wrong and had to have surgery! you have to practice alot and bust your butt to win.i play volleyball and softball and in my opinion volleyball takes just as much work as softball. as for ur question...... volleyball players range from cheerleaders to tom boys to geeks and losers. anyone can play and you cant judge people that play because of their teammates.

Answer 12

no offense meant, it's not a very competetive sport in my eyes.
