Underdog
Volleyball - Skill Level Overview
We're proud to say that our leagues span
almost the full range of skill levels - from first time volleyball
players to seasoned veterans with club and college experience. It's
really only the elite players that you won't find in Underdog volleyball,
which is just the way we like it. As with all of our leagues, a
fun laid back atmosphere comes first.
As more players with a background in
the sport have joined the league, it has been useful to give more
detail on how the three Underdog skill levels (Softcore, Midcore,
and Hardcore) relate to the more standardized skill levels used
in club and tournament play. Captains and Indy's should both find
the following descriptions helpful, which are loosely based on how
the USAV and AVP structure their skill divisions. As many coed teams
have players that fit into more than one of these categories, pick
the one that best reflects the level and atmosphere that you're
looking for as a group. If you still have questions, feel free to

Volleyball Skill Level Descriptions |
|
Softcore |
New Player - I’ve
knocked the ball around at a barbeque - but I’ve never
played in an organized volleyball match or tournament before. |
| Recreational
- I played volleyball in gym class back in the day, and a few
times since. I know what I’m doing and I'm fairly athletic,
but I’ve never played in an organized volleyball league
or tournament |
|
Midcore |
B - I’ve played
some high school or club volleyball growing up, but my skills
are rusty - or I’ve played in a few organized leagues
and my skills have progressed well beyond a beginner level.
I can pass, set, and hit with consistency. |
|
Hardcore
Hardcore matches are
all officiated, and are played
in facilities that allow for more
space around the court
|
BB - I’ve played
competitively at a high level in the past, and continue to play
in leagues and tournaments multiple times a year. I expect my
team to run an offense and complete the pass, set, hit sequence
on almost every play. I have a position(s) that I generally
to play. |
| A
(and above) - I have college or advanced club
level experience. I participate in other A or higher tournaments
and leagues regularly. I am highly skilled - but I am looking
for a laid back league experience that emphasizes a coed format
and fun over extremely competitive play. |
