Even as a little fifth grader, new to volleyball, at the height of 4’10, I grew a love for setting and trained for it as often as I could. For my first two years of playing I never was on an actual team, but anytime I got to work in the gym I would automatically want to be setting. Once I entered seventh grade and middle school ball started I strived even harder to get the spot as setter, but for it being my first year I was okay with not being chosen as a setter. Once my eighth grade season started though, everything changed. I still was able to set for club, but my school coach had other opinions.
I can say, height does play a big role in different positions for volleyball, but at this age, girls don’t need to be as tall as the Eiffel Tower.
