The battle of the sexes in volleyball, what can happen?

Question

If the Olympic women's volleyball team faces to the top men's high school team with similiar height,which would win? Could they defeat the ex-men's Olympic team of the average age of 50 years old?What if their average age is 40? Which would give more advantage to the women's team in such cases, men's net or women's?

Answer 1

women's olympic would kill men's top high school no doubt. they'll probably pull some crazy thing the men have never seen.

Answer 2

This question has been circulating a lot recently...

I think the top guys highschool team could beat the top women's college team. But probably not the olympic team. I think it would be closer than many of you would think.

I don't believe this stuff simply because I am a guy either. Guys jump much higher than girls/women and that would ruin their defense.

Also the top men's highschool team would have several future D1 players. I think that a men's D1 hitter would be able to score on the olympic women's team fairly often. And the olympic women's team does not see jumpserves like it would from the guys.

Olymic team would win, but not easily.

Answer 3

the women..lol idk it would be interesting

Answer 4

Its unfair...

whos net do they use, the lower womens net

or the mens net which is higher?

If they use the womens net the men can jump higher over the net which would let them hit it much harder.

If they use the mens net, then the women dont get to use the lower net so they would either have to try to increase their jumping height or they have to just not hit it as hard which would make it easier on the men. so i would have to say that either way the men would win. =/

Answer 5

the olympic team would destroy the highschool team. by far. but against the men it might be harder.

Answer 6

men do not pass nearly as well as women, and passing is the key.

Answer 7

A few years ago, when you see women playing serious volleyball - you can see that they are playing slower, compared to the mens.  However these days - women are hitting harder, and being more athelic in their moves, etc.

Women should be able to play faster - because they are usually smaller and lighter than the men - and they should be able to use this to their advantage.

Men usually have the height advantage - and people of height, tend to use it.

It could be a very close game, if the women play especially to their strengths and hammer home on the other side's weaknesses - and this is usually done anyway, if you want to win? Such tactics almost guarantee success.

Answer 8

Depends on what game is played.

I do happen to think that women could beat men, because by nature, men like to power hit the ball - the harder, the better.  Women are more finess players, and will do cut shots and place the ball as opposed to just try to hit it hard.

I play a lot of co-ed ball, and all of the guys we play with tend to say the girls are the better players because they have more all-around skill, as opposed to just hitting.  Men, it tends to go who can hit the ball the hardest onto the floor/ground.

But I guess the only way to find out would be to watch an actual game and find out. . .
