Why do you think Volleyball is not as popular here in the US as it is worldwide?

Question

It's the #2 sport in the world, next to soccer (football).

Answer 1

it's pretty popular here, and growing. think you'll see more and more....I watch it on Saturdays on ESPN, have seen quite a lot lately. the beach volleyball circuit is very cool as is the NCAA.

Answer 2

We have no grass roots programs in most cities. There is no one standing up & helping girls & guys at a young age learn the basics. Most PE teachers don't have a solid understanding of the game to teach it. Or parents for that matter. How many parents do you know that grab a volleyball & say, "Let's go outside & play pepper for awhile!"

Answer 3

Probably because no matter how entertaining and skillful it might be to play, it is not that entertaining to watch (unless you yourself are a volleyball pro). So there is not much room for sponsorship and media influence.

Answer 4

i guess people in america grew up with baseball and football :)

Answer 5

beach volleyball is. we're the best in the world at it

Answer 6

I think its pretty popular..

Answer 7

because the guys always want to act macho and think that volleyball is a girl sport, but they are seriously wrong.

Answer 8

im with u! i would love to see more hot volley ball chicks with thoes tight shorts jumpin up and down! Common girls!

Answer 9

The female volleyball uniform is the best in sports.  Go Volleyball.  But if your a dude and can jump, play basketball.
