SKILL LEVELS
LEVEL C: REC/LOW INTERMEDIATE
I know the general rules of the game but may not know the more technical rules.
I understand basic positions and how to rotate.
I can serve the ball over the net and in play 50% of the time or higher.
I try to pass to my teammates most of the time, but sometimes I just hit it back over the net.
When I hit the ball over the net, I am trying to keep it in bounds, not necessarily trying to place it strategically.
I understand how to score points, keep score, and when to announce the score.
I know what blocking is, but don’t see a lot of it at my level of play.
I know when to call for the ball to avoid collisions.
I know I’m not supposed to touch the net.
LEVEL B: INTERMEDIATE
​
Teams regularly attempt to make three hits per side.
Teams have a setter, but most of the time the setter is setting from the middle position.
Players in these games often have a goal to improve and advance to Level A
Players play the position into which they rotate rather than assigned positions.
A solid “B” player has reasonable consistency. Skill level easily trumps height. Many “B” level hitters do not employ a standard hitting approach. A few points are scored due to execution errors but not the majority, most points have to be earned.
LEVEL A: COMPETITIVE
Superb players. Highly athletic. Indoors they use complex offenses. Passing is stellar.
Perform all skills: BLOCKING, SETTING, PASSING, and HITTING.
Know what 5-1, 6-2, and 4-2 offenses are.
Know how to cover the court defensively during a serve and during a hit.
Can pass a hit or serve to the setter consistently.
Front row hitters are able to take an approach and hit the ball consistently.
Know what covering a hitter means.
Play with positions: outside hitter, middle hitter, right side hitter, setter and defensive specialist.
Setters can set a basic outside, middle, and right side ball with minimal spin.
Get 90% of serves, or more, in play.
Most of the players are tall. Indoors they almost always use a 5-1 or 6-2 offense (i.e., the setter is often a back row player, so that there may be three hitters in the front row).
