Hi! I have a question I can't answer - what is the optimal height for a volleyball player? I'm 15 at the moment and I'm 5-10, I've been training for a year. What should I aim for to reach the sport's optimum height? Thanks in advance for the advice!

Anything over 185 centimetres. You'il pull another 2-3 centimeters until you're 20-21. You're very good at your height!

You're even going to pull up to 2 meters to 21 years.

Hello, as someone with full-time sports education, growth is not determinative of whether you are successful or in most sports. Only in volleyball is decisive and matters. Why? Because only in volleyball there are no limits in the game. For example, in basketball, the boundary is the basket, there is no point jumping more than the basket, so there is too much evidence of quite successful "low" players with a height of 175-180. But with volleyball, there are no boundaries, you can jump as much as you can over the net and that's better. Therefore, the taller you are, the better especially for this sport, of course, technique and physical training are also vital, only growth is not enough.
