Volleyball facials ?

Question

is there any way to prevent them ?

Answer 1

You will have to live with that :)

Sometimes you can tell the ref that there is something happening (call it "abuse" or whatever), but don't be too serious into it. Verbal abuse is illegal but facial... well you might just have to live with it.

It is part of the fun of playing volleyball, if you put it that way, and how you make friends across the net.

Don't let it distract you too much. You will be good eventually, after going thru all those distractions.

If you still take it too seriously, think about those NBA stars who got booed by fans whenever they touched the ball... your suffering of facials is really not that much :)

Have fun playing volleyball.

Answer 2

Have quick hands.  Get them up infront of your face and keep them strong.  Don't let the ball through them.

Answer 3

Eyes open and hands ready.

When people get facials is because their brain says, "balls coming at my face", but the body can't move in time.  

Even when I'm at the 10 foot line and someone is knocking the c**p out of the ball, I never got hit in the face.  Reflexes jump in and I jump out of the way.  Sure, it maybe "Holy c**p!" and dive out of the way or fall on my butt, but I didn't get hit in the face.
