Who's the biggest volleyball player

Question

Who is the biggest volleyball player you know [female]?

Do you think girls will look at me different when I try out for volleyball because I'm 5'11'' and 190 lbs.

Answer 1

I knew the University of Texas had a tall team.  I know the setter that just graduated from there.  (I can joke that I used to play against her before she was born.  I played with and against her mother when she was pregnant.)  At 5'11", you would be in the middle of the University of Texas team.  There are 8 players taller than you and 7 that are shorter than you.  

The tallest player on the USA Women's team is Tayyiba Haneef-Park at 6'7" and at 5'11", you would only be taller than the 2 setters and the 2 Liberos.  

FYI the USA Men's team has 3 players at 6'9" and the setter is the next tallest at 6'8"  

Answer 2

What I wouldn't give to be that tall! So what if they look at you differently? You are who you are and no one should have a problem with that! Plus, like someone said before, if you are good enough to make the team, then they really can't say anything! Girl, be confident in yourself!!! :)

P.S. Take solace in the fact that some of those same girls who may look at you differently now will come back to your high school reunion. Then you will wonder what in the world happened to them because they will have let themselves go.  

Answer 3

wow u really really tall, u should be good at volleyball, im 16 a guy and only 5'7 lol but no they shouldnt look at u differently tho especially cuz their gonna need u to block that net, i dont know that much about volleyball sorry but hope i helped a little bit

Answer 4

depends.

(i'm not being rude i'm being honest)

you are a good height (i'm the same) but the question is if you worked hard enough on your vertical that you can actually jump to block. we had some girls who played left and they were the same height as me but they seriously had the worst vertical i've ever seen and it seems like such a waste of your height.

don't be embarressed because of your body, embrace it. i can't stand it when bigger girls are too embarressed to wear spandex. if you earn the right to be on the team, then be proud of yourself. stop worrying about how other people will think you look, and start worrying about how you play.
