Answer 1

Something that makes you taller? No don't waste your money buying somthing because it won't work I can tell you that right now, and if you do then you've probably wasted your money.

Answer 2

you might be slightly taller, but any gains in height would be negated by those inserts ruining your lateral mobility.  i can't imagine that you'd maintain any quickness or agility with those between your feet and the floor.

Answer 3

NOOOO !! it's not about how tall you are.. it's about skill.. i've seen tons of CRAZY VOLLEYBALL PLAYERS and they're not tall ! just practice and you'll get better ! i'm one of the shortest, and i play middle !  trust me, don't waste your money !  just practice lots and you can outplay any GIANT !

Answer 4

If you plan on having a career in volleyball, yes. The University of Michigan volleyball team, which is second in the country, has the shortest person at a height of 5'10", for GIRLS.

Answer 5

I play volley ball and am 5'11" it's not always better to be taller but what is important is finding the position(s) that you are best at. Work on your game, don't worry about finding outside objects to help you ... Practice practice practice!

Answer 6

no it is not worth buying it might make you taller but its not going to help your verticle..i have these jumpstops that helped my verticle by 6 inches that is really really good and if i contunue working with them i should have an improvement of 8.  I play volleyball and basketball so those jumpstops were very helpful you should check them out they really work just trust me.  they come with a video of how to use them.  doing leg excercises also helps jump everyday, "sit on the wall", got to the gym and ask about the leg excersice machines.  Good luck in your season i hope you do awsome!!!

Answer 7

No not really it's not how tall you are it's how high you can jump so work out your legs and you should save a little money not that its a big amount of money.  email me at AOL at the screen-name of yashi5654 for exercise advice because I play club volleyball and we work out our legs all the time.

Answer 8

Not everyone on a volleyball team needs to be tall.

Heck, I'm 5'8" and back when I played on a coed bar-league team I had a 24" vertical.

Generally I was the quickest person on the floor and most players would under-rate my jumping and blocking abilities... As well as my spiking abilities.

If you work on anything, work on quickness, setting, serving and playing each position on the floor the best you can, and of course, practice jumping and being flexible.

Answer 9

u could be 6 feet talll and if u cant jump then u cant play volleyball. so dont buy it

Answer 10

hi, don't wanna sound mean, but no!! that is crazy, you could hurt yourself. please don't!

Answer 11

You don't have to be tall to play volleyball.  If you are shorter and can pass well, then consider playing back row becasue you have a lower center of gravity and its easier to get down and get back up again for any digs.  You could also work on your vertical jump if you like playing front row.
