Rec-Beginners:
I know the general rules of the game but may not know the more technical rules. I may or may not 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 may or may not understand how to score points, keep score, and when to announce the score. I may or may not 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. Most of my passes get to the setter so they can set to a 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 am capable of passing, setting, and hitting adequately. I get about 75% of serves in play. I have good sportsmanship and encourage the other players on the court.
Additional Notes About this Level: Teams regularly attempt to make three hits per side. Most of the time the setter is the person in the middle front position. 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.
Intermediate Plus (B+):
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. Most of my passes get to the setter so they can set the outside or right side hitters. I am able to block, set, pass, and hit. I fully understand proper transitioning during a game. 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. I am capable of playing more than one position. I am capable of directing free balls into a certain area of my choice to make it difficult for my opponent to return. I play with good sportsmanship and show encouragement towards other players on the court without coaching them.
