- JO Volleyball tournaments may only be one day events, but they are long and grueling - we arrived at 7am and left at 6pm.
- Teams in a 12 team event are guaranteed 4 matches.
- Each game lasted about 20-30 minutes. (Blowout matches might last 40. Closely contested back and forth matches can last 90+ minutes)
- The teams warm up for about 30 minutes prior to each match - even if the team is competing in the 5th match of the day. This makes no sense to me. The 11 hour event could have been cut down considerably.
- Unlike, basketball or soccer, there is only one set game time. The first game of the day on each court is established then the preceding matches follow immediately after the match prior concludes. Some matches last 40 min and others last 90, so games times cannot be set.
- Girls volleyball uniforms are ridiculously tight.
- Sadly, there are a lot of overweight 12 and 13 year old girls.
- The players are assigned to officiate the games they are not playing in. (They line judge, keep score and they work as the down ref.)
- The up ref (the one on the ladder) is a paid experienced ref.
- Considering that most of the officiating is done by the players, I am not sure why volleyball is so much more expensive than basketball and soccer.
- The young refs and line judges made a few mistakes, but all in all they did well for 12 year old kids.
- Thankfully, the fans went easy on the young judges. Our parents were warned prior to the season.
- The first two games of a three game match are rally scored to 25.
- The third game of a three game match is played with standard scoring to 15. (Only the serving team can score.)
- You can missed the excitement of a nail biter third game if you think that it goes to 25. In the first match that went to three games, our team came back from a 11-14 deficit to win 16-14. I watched calmly thinking that we needed 9 more points.
- Playing time is not distributed equally. My daughter played in about 10.5 of the 12 games. One girl, who really struggles, only played in 5 games. Her parents were pissed.
- Volleyball parents are just like soccer, football, softball, baseball and basketball parents. They too complain about the coaches, the refs, the facilities, the length of the events, the playing time, etc.
- Spikes are exciting, but I think that back row digs are awesome and seem to get the loudest fan reaction.
- Some kids can pay attention on each and every play and some kids are in la la land on most plays. (The rule that a player must hit the ball before it hits the ground is lost on a quite a few of the girls.)
- Girls develop at different ages. Some of the 11-12 year old girls looked like they could be in 4th grade (my daughter) and others looked like they were juniors in high school.
- Youth sports facility food is terrible. (NO OUTSIDE FOOD PERMITTED)
- All the players of a team must stay even after the team is eliminated if a few of the girls are assigned to ref a later game. Our team made it to the final four this weekend. We met a strong team in the semi finals. We, of course, wanted to win, but if we had to lose, then we wanted to lose before the other semi-final loser lost. The last semi-final team to lose had to ref the finals. Thankfully, we lost 2 minutes before the other semi-final team, so I was able to get home just in time for the kickoff of the Superbowl. The dads from the other losing team and the 2 finalist teams were not as lucky.
- The ball always finds the weakest player on the court.
The Main Point
Volleyball is fun to watch if the teams are good and the rallies are long. Volleyball is pure torture if a team is struggling. Our team did pretty well, but 12 games of volleyball over 11 hours is not for the weak.
good luck girl

A back row block occurs when players make a collective block and none of them touch the ball. Touching the ball is a fault. https://www.recreationtipsy.com

Well I know a person who is good at what he does and a person that keeps his word to get you and your husband, wife, partner back together for good and that is Lord Zakuza!
