Even most feminists would agree that men and women are built differently when it comes to sports! In general, there are physiological differences between men and women, such as height, weight, muscle mass, body fat, and aerobic capacity.
This means that, on average, men can jump higher and are stronger than women. Of course, there are exceptions to this — some women are stronger and more fit than some men are. This is why men and women play in separate leagues at higher levels of competitive play, where these physiological differences are much more pronounced.
Nope, not at all! In fact, recreational coed volleyball takes into account these physical differences by adjusting the rules slightly. This puts a whole new kind of spin on recreational volleyball, adding different strategies and dynamics to the game.
The height for a coed volleyball league varies on the rules of the specific league. This gives the male players a huge advantage! However, many female players rise pardon the pun! It depends. The separation between the back court and the front court is marked by the attack line, which is 10 feet or 3 metres from the net. When a back court player is jumping to hit the ball, they must start their jump from behind the attack line, but they are allowed to land in the front court.
Some male players use so much momentum when hitting from the back court, they often land well into the front court, and sometimes even get close to hitting the net. This puts a greater emphasis on the female players, relying on them to mount the attacks for the team.
In many settings, there is a rule that men have to touch the ball in all multiple-contact offensive plays. So the rule is whenever a team touches the ball more than once on their side of the ball, a man has to have 1 of those contacts. This encourages many teams to use a man as the setter. Since only women are allowed to block in reverse co-ed play if only one woman is playing on the front row, another female player is allowed to come from the back row to block, but not to attack.
If there are 3 women on the court, all 3 are not allowed to combine for a block, the third must stay behind the attack line until contact has been made on your side of the court. Volleyball is a popular sport for people of all types, men, and women, young and old, competitive athletes and casual athletes. In most countries around the world, volleyball is played just as much by men as by women. I hope that one day, volleyball is just as open to young men to play in our school system, as it is for the ladies.
All other rules through the FIVB international rules for volleyball are the same. Before the game, the referee will perform a coin toss with a captain from each team present. Whichever team wins the toss will be given a choice. They may choose who serves first or which side of the court they would like to play on.
The loser of the toss gets the remaining choice. After the first set, the first serve is given to the other team, alternating each set. If the match goes to a tie-breaker set, a new toss is made to determine who gets to serve for that set. Feature image by H. Beach co-ed image 1 by NavyLifeSW on flickr.

Regardless of who is more aggressive or intense on the court, the interaction between men and women in coed volleyball is usually very positive and should include a lot of encouragement and comradery.
Many highly skilled athletes, both male and female, play coed volleyball, and they bring their personal level of competitiveness to the coed court.
Coed games can get pretty intensively competitive. Because coed volleyball games can still be really competitive, plays adapt to the different challenges related to having both genders on the court. They end up learning from each other, and everyone adapts their game just a little bit. No big surprise here: men and women just communicate differently. And when you add the intensity of sport, these communication differences can become quite obvious.
This is not done to be harsh, but focuses on fixing the error for next time. End of story; on to the next play. Depending on the player, she may not necessarily feel as comfortable vocalizing how to fix the error. Playing coed volleyball gives all players the opportunity to adjust their communication style outside of their usual comfort zone. Male players will often soften their coaching advice towards female players, and female players will often be a bit more open in their constructive coaching.
Of course, having a broader mix of physical abilities adds a new level of strategy to the game. There are countless ways to approach strategy, but it really boils down to knowing the strengths and abilities and the weaknesses of each individual player, regardless of his or her gender. Every player has a unique level of skill, experience, and even coachability how a player responds to critique and their willingness to correct the issue.
They may also have more experience or preference for playing a certain position.
