Yes, anyone can play volleyball!! You dont have to be a certain height but that does give you some leverage. So first off, the court is a little smaller than a basketball court. They are 6 people on the team. Speed has nothing to do with it, so if your not that fast, dont worry!! And in my opinion, diving is the best thing! But you have to know what your doing...when you dive i mean!! So yeah!!

the court is real close to 30' x 30' each side, if your playing beach it's smaller 25' x 25'ish
There are various ways to play, indoors usually plays with 6 people, sometime 4.
Beach normally plays with 2 people, but sometimes 4.
I have also played with 3 and 5 players on each side.
Back yard picknicks will have alot more players.
You need to react fast, but not run fast. A court split up by 6 players means each person is required to cover about 4' x 4', so running fast isn't important. but reactin fast is, ( so you wont get hit in the cookies or the mouth.
Diving can hurt, make sure to wear knee pads or you could do permenant damage. I learnt that if you get in postion and read a hitter you will dive alot less. Unfortunatly alot of my high school girls don't dive, out of lack of energy.
You don't have to be athletic to play high school volleyball. Volleyball is real fun to play at every level. Everyone is athletic, if they want to be, try out, and if you don't find it fun, then you can respectively remove yourself from the team, sighting the fact that's it's just not for you.
If you don't try out you will regret it for life.

Volleyball is an Olympic sport in which two teams separated by a high net use their hands, arms, or (rarely) other parts of their bodies to hit a ball back and forth over the net. Each team is allowed three hits to get the ball over the net to the other team. A point is scored if the ball hits the ground in the opponents' court, if the opponents commit a fault, or if they fail to return the ball properly.
Volleyball gameVolleyball can be a very active sport that can be an excellent source for aerobic exercise. It also helps players improve their hand-eye coordination and the ability to override the instinctive desire to dodge a fast-moving object such as a ball.

Volleyball court is 60ft. by 30ft. One side of the volleyball court is 30ft by 30ft. And only six players at a time on the court. Yes, you have to be fast in order to play volleyball becasue it's a fast pace game. For diving I dived every other play if you dive correctly then it won't hurt but if you land on your hip it will hur you. I have never gotten hurt. Dont worry just try out for the team and best of luck to you.

VOLLEYBALL is alot of fun, you will meet alot of people, and it does not matter how people there are in a team. but if you're playing PRO. yes them only a few people on each side. you do not get to run , just jumping. trying to hit the ball. and scoring points. some people take the game very serious. mind you, is just a game. try to have fun.

in the team they can be many persons. but only 6 persons will play in a game, the coach can make changes during the game. you need to be athletic, but that doesn't have to stop you for join the team. you'll just need practice and take it a little bit more serious than just for fun. or everyone will make fun of you.
