Soccer vs volleyball?

Question

is soccer harder then volleyball? which takes more skill? which takes more endurance? which is better? which is easier? points needed for school debate?

Answer 1

VBall is all about confidence and teamwork. It's not too physically challenging. IDK about soccer!

Answer 2

I think soccer is harder because you run more. umm... i think they both take equal skill and endurence. I personally like volleyball better and think it is easier.

Answer 3

not a chance that soccer is harder than volleyball. i think that people who say that haven't played a serious volleyball game. you may not have to run as far, but you probably move just about as much. people don't realize how much you actually move around in volleyball. as for skill, i realize soccer does involve great skill, but so does volleyball. volleyball players need to strategically pass the ball to players, and the need to strategically hit and serve. the amount of spins, and different kinds of serves requires a HUGE amount of skill. as for endurance, i think soccer because they are running farther and such.. but volleyball is a ton of quick, explosive movements, so it requires more agility than soccer. i think volleyball is better of course (lol). and i think soccer is easier.

good luck with your debate! (if you're on the volleyball side haha)

Answer 4

Well, my view is a little more bias since I've been playing volleyball for quite sometime now, but I have a ton of friends that play soccer, including my own brother. So my personal opinion is that volleyball is harder.

Volleyball:

Requires endurance - each point is fought for, people are diving on the ground, constantly jumping and always moving.

If you watch the game carefully you can see that they are always moving no matter what, even when a person is at service, they have to keep moving so that they're body position is aimed towards the target which is a lot harder than it looks. Also, you are constantly jumping if you hit or when you block, it's almost nonstop and extremely tiring. Plus, you have a split second to control the pass of the ball, it's not like you can really hold on to it, unless your the setter who has less than a second to set it.

Soccer:

Constant running but that's it. Sure it's tiring but if you really thing about it, when the balls not near them, they don't do as much. Coordination is crazy hard but once again, depending on what you play, you might not even touch the ball. But you have control, you can hold the ball in place and fix a mistake. You can't in volleyball.

Volleyball, everyone on the court plays every position on the court. It takes a ton of endurance, coordination, and dexterity. It's constant action and constant playing and you're always focused. Plus it's more intense since every action counts because one mistake is a point for the other team. Oh yeah, try playing some beach volleyball and tell me how hard that is, compared to running on grass.

Answer 5

soccer! in soccer you are always running!!!

Answer 6

the both can be difficult.But soccer takes more skill. Volleyball takes more endurance. Volleyball is better if your looking for fun. Soccer is better if you want built legs. Neither one of them is easier they both take skill and practice. I think volleyball would be the better choice.

Answer 7

I think soccer is a litter harder because requires A LOT of foot work and if the field is bumpy you have to know how to adjust compare to a volleyball court. I think both requires an equal amount of skill. And neither is easy. Not anyone can just "kick" a soccer ball or pass around a volleyball. Soccer needs more endurance because you're running up and down the field.

I can't choose which one is better. I like them both equally

Answer 8

Soccer is harder as it requires more skill and stamina

Answer 9

well in soccer you need to beable to run pretty good, but volleyball needs skills..spiking there are tons of different serving styles.(down ball,floater, fast, underhand, overhand, deep, short, spike serve ect.)...for me..i LOVE volleyball. beach volleyball is also fun. you can play it anywhere, beach camping gym backyard. idk me and my friends LOVE playing volleyball

Answer 10

I don't know much about soccer, but I have played volleyball for four years and am currently playing on my 10th and 11th teams. I think they both take a lot of skill and endurance. I would like to say that one is better or easier, but that would be biased. Anyways, volleyball takes skill, and there is a lot of technical things to get called on in games. You also have to do jump training, and it is a lot of sprinting and jumping. You have to be pretty strong and balanced to play volleyball, and it helps to be on the tall side. Volleyball does take a lot of endurance, and it works a lot of muscles.
