“Do you have any advice for short outside hitter volleyball players?”
Me getting into volleyball 4 months ago: “watch Haikyuu.”
I'm a 5'4 division 2 college athlete;-;ik I have a little above average jump but the problem I've been having is aiming😅bc I usually face tall blockers so I tend to hit block for a rebound to score but when I have the chance to score with a strait or cross court ;-;I can never aim those correctly and I tend to mess up so bad 😖😖😔
I think we have to define "short" for this discussion. Usually what I see in discussions like this is people considering 6' to be "short". But that's completely missing the point. When people say it's not that important, they are talking bout these "short" people, never the 5'4 guys like myself
i’m 5’0 and i wanna be an outside hitter but i haven’t practiced my vertical since i practice without a net at home and this is gonna be my first ever tryouy
I'm 5'3" and i can at least spike down on a 7'9" net. I can't grow anymore so i focus on increasing vertical and doing proper form. Its all i can do.
I am 5ft and I want to be a hitter/spiker but I do have good vertical and I don't want to let that go to waste by playing libero or setter and want to hit the ball I want action in blocking and spiking
I'm 1.67 ish and can clear the men's net by about 1 hand so far haven't gotten proper training and advice for increasing my vert?
If Hinata Shõyõ has not given up, you must not give up either :)

Height doesn’t really matter
It is convenient being tall
But a short person can just train their jumps to reach that same level
And if they want to
They can also train their arms at the gym to hit harder
height only matters at the highest levels... pro/olympics - unless you just play back row. but it’s no fun to just play back...
@@CSV1973 I actually want to go pro despite of my height (5'3) and I already stopped growing. I am good at passing, setting and hitting. Im still training to go for tryouts in a different highschool because I am homeschooled.
I’m 5’7 middle blocker, 13 years old and my blocking skill is better than our other middle blocker which is 6’0, proves hard work pays off, height doesn’t matter
@@adrianhardy9204 geez I’m 5’10 now and I’m 14 😂
Am i too short to go pro at 5’11 as a hitter?
I've always loved volleyball and when I was younger I wanted to be an outside hitter but that's never gonna happen off me because I'm not even 5 feet tall.
Same bro
I knew a guy who was very very short, Idk I think I he's 155 cm more or less, and he plays Volleyball so good as a hitter! Cause his jump is just very very high Masha'Allah, so don't give up!
How many hours should I pratice to become a better volleyball player
I'm 5"7 and my jump is 9.5 feet and a block of 9 feet
I always get blocked by taller players .. the only way I score is by faking..and quickness
But I want to jump higher to raise above the blocks...I'm 14
Hinata shoyo is taller than me 😂 but i can block and spike
I’m 4’7. I want to be a libero. I’m moving to a new state in July and have no idea what the requirements for joining the volleyball team are at the school I’m going to go to. I’m also only starting out with playing volleyball. Do you have a chance of even making it on the team, and if I do, are there any tips or tricks you could give me? Thank you.

How old are u
I'm 5'1 - 5'2.. and I am in 9th grade so I'm 15 and I'm a female and I love volleyball I started learning playing on my own in my room but I keep getting discouraged because of my height. So yeah..
Ok ok everyones talking about whatever. But what if youre short and still cant jump 15+ inch, i mean you can be libero but no. Just no.
yall 5’4s and 5’7s complaining but my 5’0 tiny ass is just crying in the corner 😔
I’m 4’7 so don’t U complain
Yes I’m short
Is 6'3 tall enough?
If you can't compete with your height then just compete with your jump.

Hinata crew is here
I am about 174 cm, 16 years old. My reach is about 308 cm, I still feel pretty short though :(
W8 i probably lack math but how can u jump 308cm with that height I mean if u have ur hands up it's only 210cm. So how?? 😂

Lmao, im 5"3
*bruh*
I don't buy this in the slightest. They should stop having "women''s" and "men's" and have leagues based on height - much like several other sports.
what sports do that?
I'm 5'5" my standing reach is 6'8" and my vertical is 8'11", I'm a libero indoor but I want to be a hitter outside so I'm still training so i can get a bigger vertical
Just do a lot of jumping, and work on your speed. Since jumping is basically speed times power
Damn I feel so small :(
I’m 5’4 and a setter and I can block too surprisingly, I just really need to work on spiking:)
I‘m 152cm tall and my position is a Middleblocker.
Here to motivate people. Listen up! Don’t give up because of your height! If you wanna be a 190cm tall Libero then do so. If you wanna be a 160cm tall Hitter THEN DO SO! Dont let others talk you down. You can do it. I believe in you. Of course it takes a lot of work and effort to achieve what you want. In the beginning,I couldn’t jump very high. I was almost certain that Im going to be a Libero. Turns out with never lasting ambition I could jump higher and higher. I dont want people to be able to look down on me. So while im in the air it feels really great. Even if Im just up there for some seconds. I really enjoy these moments.
Dont let others tell you what to do. You can become anything you want to be. Volleyball is about fun.
(Also sorry for any typos,english isnt my first language)
What advice can you give for training to jump higher? I'm about 157 cm
We don’t need ur origin story

How is it going?
@@cyberyaya8483 well, I got my vertical past 2 feet, and could reach 8'6 so I'd say pretty good😂. My coach was very degrading, and caused a lot of issues. My depression and anxiety were too much, but honestly I'm feeling a lot better. Therapy and Zoloft helped lol. Got some complaints filed but it is what it is. If you have any questions feel free to ask👍
@@jchartman9827 Dam, sorry to hear about the coach and stuff. Do you play in a school team or more professional level team? (idk how old are you lol). I play in school and I am glad I have cool and chill coaches. I am in a similar spot as you, i am 5'5 and shit is hard lol. But keep going :)
@@cyberyaya8483 I'm 17, I've played rec, and have been playing on American club teams for the past few years as a libero or opposite. I've played for school too, and am planning on trying out again next year. I'm sure both of us got this, I've learned that consistency beats talent in the long run😌😌
I am 4'11 can i still be a middle blocker as I can jump quite high
You can be whatever you wanna be
Tbh middle blockers are tall if you wanna spike maybe try outside hitter/wing spiker you can still spike and block but usually middle blockers in high school are 5’11-6’2 and professional volleyball middle blockers are like 6’6+
David defeated Goliath using a single stone to hit his forehead. So even we little ones can face giants in volleyball, even though we are not equals. We have our stones to win.
The Lord helped him. if anything pray that your dreams could be reached.
If we leave out the religious part, David still had a tool to bring the stone up that far - call me when short players are allowed to bring a ladder to the field :D
I’m 5’3” and there’s one team my school can’t beat cuz all their players are over 6’
You can beat them, you just have put more effort and be tricky
Tech-WonDo I’m 6’9 and I was the guy that beat his team, I felt like a giant
I am 5'9, but in volleyball I am short. I was a all around player but I settled playing middle. Being able to jump high and really good knowing how to hit around the blocks. Watching the other team get so frustrated trying to block me gives me motivation to play hard. Some friends that go against taller players get scared to face them. But I get excited and a way I keep my team motivated was saying to watch me show them how to hit around the tall guy.
I feel blessed after reading these comments being 6’2 and only 14
same i’m 6’0 and 14 😴
i now feel very small

I'm 5'2 and I'm going to be a hitter so I work out both upper and lower body strength but my question is how high do you have to jump to be a hitter??
At least 255 to 270 cm i think cuz a volleyball net is 241 cm
@@Fake-yr9xd thanks now I know I have to learn how to jump about 2 or 3 feet
@@markitozer0359 I mean 1 foot ain’t that hard2 challenging but difficult if u really wanted to u could
Skies the limit. All i can say, keep jumping. Don't settle for a 3' vertical, go above and beyond
Tl:dr Coach Donny is saying if height isn't your weapon, make yourself a weapon.. Game sense, ball control, take advantage of having easier defence, jump higher.
Im confident in a few years we'll have more dedicated short players playing hitting roles in higher levels.
Im already aged past the usual "growing with volleyball" ages of Mid school-High school but perhaps through hard work and developing skill i'll still get myself into recreational in semi competitive. I'm 5'6 and i'll get there.
Height doesn't matter.. the only thing is to jump higher
Height does matter. If a 6 foot and a 5'7 both have a 35 inch vert, 6 foot will jump much higher. It also takes less time for 6 foot to reach higher.
Sion Gang facts dude I’m 6’9 middle blocker and faced a 5’7 spiker, he was insanely good but I always managed to block him
@@SionGang Maybe smaller people need to train harder get more vertical than average. Also time their jumping more early.
Vertical jump can take a VERY long time to cultivate. That’s why tall players are sought after more. They don’t have to jump as much.

Can you tell me why my shoulder hurts when attacking and how to fix it
I think your arm swing is wrong, watch coach donnie's arm swing mechanic video. Try swing a little more diagonal or tilt your body to the left a bit (for right arm) then swing a little diagonal not straight down. Hope it helps
@@doomarseproduction6389 I will try to follow you say thank you
Khang Phạm Maybe because they’re weak, do push ups
5'7 outside and i love atking line i feel the angle is just more tricky than if i try to hit cross even with a 10ft touch (i need to do my approach or i cant touch rim) my angle isnt as agressive as taller outsides so i play more sneaky off the block and atk the line. I will say ive noticed my cross atk has more power so i need to learn to produce that same energy in my line atk!
Lol You don't need height at all. You just need to lnow how to jump
Its ok bro you just binge watched Haikyuu we've been there.
Well for me, height is really important to volleyball. Because when you're tall, you will not use a lot of your stamina when jumping. But when you are small, you will need a lot of stamina in order to jump and that will be a big problem 'cause you will get tired easily.
@@artoryx5901 Weight is also a factor. I'm not that fat when I have clothes. But inside, I am so fat. Imagine jumping while you're 195 pounds. Now imagine being literally as light as a feather.
@@binarysunsets665 actually, I just watched haikyuu for the first time.
See I’m 5’5 and I haven’t played volleyball in a long time but I liked being a middle blocker, but I feel personally that I am too short because when I see girls/ women they are all tall as hell
im 4,9 im 13 uhm but can i be a outside hitter or should i start as a libero?
i'm 6' and i want to be 6'4" ungrateful much lol i hate going to open gym and people be asking me to play middle, i'm like dude, i am not a middle blocker but ok fuyck lol
ahh im too short for olympics im not gonna reach higher than 5'6 anyways im just gonna stick to some local clubs :/
Hey, is it just me or does anyone else name their volleyballs?
Wat are the chances of being a successful CB @1.82m and 3.2 vertical reach
Being 5'6 myself I guess I can say that being skilled is the number one thing. Honestly I really can't jump even though I've improved on it and only come close to touching 10ft rim once. I can say that yes being short puts you at a "disadvantage." But we shouldn't see it in that way. To combat Height, the individual has to be skilled. Having the ability to understand the game will also contribute to being a good short outside hitter. IQ and skill are the number one things (and of course jumping high lol). But I've seen lots of guys who can't jump but are equally effective because they're skilled and smart. Being a short hitter (more libero) I have to find ways to get around the block and use the block. Knowing how to cut the ball, hit under armpits, and timing your swings and blocks will all attribute to being a good short outside hitter.
Also it helps if you can pass extremely well and set. Lol a good example oddly is Hoshiumi from Haikyuu (dweebie yes i know lol). Short players have to accommodate height with skill and most short players are way more athletic than taller players in my opinions. To me its pretty uncommon to run into an unstoppable 6'6+ super athletic guy in the real world.

What if you dont have height or vertical jump
Does anyone have any examples of short middles
Tin Pham To wanna be in the front row at a high level as a small player, you kinda NEED a great vertical unless your some spectacular gifted setter who can put the ball wherever you want. You don’t gotta jump as a libero or defensive specialist but those are in the back row.
