# ======================================================================Volleyball Skill Levels:-
Recreational / Lower-Intermediate (C)
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.
Other notes about this level: Many sets are technically carries. Hitters do not utilize a true approach. Many points are “given” due to execution errors, i.e. shanks, bad passes etc.
Intermediate (B)
I have a thorough understanding of rules.
I know what a libero is and their role on the team.
I can pass at a level 1 – Most of my passes get to the setter so they can set to 1 hitter.
I enjoy playing in games where there’s a set position for the setter and each person on the team gets a chance to be setter.
I have control of my momentum and land safely on my side of the court after going up for a hit.
I typically attempt to block when a hitter is front of me.
I get about 75% of serves in play.
Additional Notes About this Level:
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 the upper-intermediate level.
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.
Upper-Intermediate (BB)
I know of all the technical rules of the game.
I have a thorough understanding of different types of sets to each hitter.
I can accurately serve to a zone regularly.
I can pass at a level 2 – Most of my passes get to the setter so they can set the outside or right side hitters.
I am proficient at blocking, setting, passing, and hitting.
I know how to cover the court defensively during a serve and during a hit.
I get 90% of serves, or more, in play.
I know what covering a hitter means.
Additional notes about this level:
Front row hitters are able to take an approach and hit the ball consistently.
Teams 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.
Upper-Intermediate players are very good players, but not as consistent as A-level players. Shorter players can compete if they have good skills.
Competitive (A)
I have the ability to hit with different hits at the same position.
I can pass at a level 3 – My passes get to the setter so they can set all three hitters.
I know how to spot a double or lift and I’m aware of when I do it myself.
