Which is your favourite court on which you would play volleyball, and why?

Question

1. Sand
2. Hard court
3. Grass

Answer 1

I like playing on all of them, and for different reasons.
Sand is great, it gives you a great work out, and their is less pressure on your knees. The big problem with sand is the rash you get between your legs, the rain out's (it's usually an outdoors kinda thing, and I hate smelling like bug spray.

Hard court: Wood is great but tough on the knees and expensive to replace. Sport court is nice, and it adds to your vertical, you cannot slide on it as easily, and players seem to get injured on sport court alot more often than wood floors.

Grass, has alot of the same characteristics as sand only it's harder on your body. You get more vertical than in the sand, but injureis accur more often do to the fact the ground doesn't give in.

Try playing in mud, its real fun, and easy on the body, or if your a little crazy play in the snow, it's fun, and really cold, + you'll be alone so you should win easy!!!

Answer 2

Hard court (in particular, Elaine Michaelis Court at the Smith Fieldhouse at BYU). I play mainly 6-on-6 or 3-on-3 (with 2 hitters who can only hit back row and 1 setter), so I prefer to play indoors on a nice, springy court. Nothing against sand or grass, but I like the specialized nature of indoor, so hard court's the one for me.

Answer 3

A hard court is my favourite. A sprung wooden floor is good, as theres a bit of give in it for when you land from a jump, is easy to jump on, and is good for sliding when you dive in back court.
Sand is just too tiring for a smaller heavy guy like myself to play on, and on grass the ground is often uneven and is more likely to cause injry in my experience.

Answer 4

I've always loved hard court volleyball, learned on it & learned to love it. But I'm always up for a sand game, don't get to play on it enough as I'd like to.

Answer 5

Hard court, i'm awful at sand, and never played on grass

Answer 6

Hard Court.

You get more spring when you jump, and it is easier to get from where you are to the ball.

Sand does not have enough traction, and grass has too much.

Answer 7

Hard court......I like the team work that comes from playing 6 v 6.

Answer 8

Hard Court. It's what I'm used to playing on.

Answer 9

I would have to say Gordon Morrison, hands down. Other players (including KK and MM) inspired me with their on-court performance, but also showed me that there would be a limit much lower than the sky. Gordon is supporting the community with his knowledge and love, and is showing everyone that you can also do it at the same level that he does it.
