[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Many girls on our club soccer team have left to play club volleyball. All are athletic, fast, and tall -- volleyball is "easier" than soccer once you hit 7th-8th grade IMO and a lot of girls start to get lazy (puberty, periods, wanting to look pretty) and so prefer an indoor sport that allows fake nails, jewelry, etc over the brutal physicality of soccer. No judgement. My DD has made this choice and I understand it. [/quote]
I do agree that volleyball is less physical than soccer, plus you avoid the contact with the players from the other team, who are rarely kind when they try to get the ball from you. That's one of the reasons why my DD didn't want to have anything to do with soccer (or basketball for that matter). We were happy that she discovered a team sport that she liked and the indoor part is just the cherry on the cake (even better for the parents). However, fake nails come right off when you contact an unexpected ball and you are not allowed to wear any jewelry (a ref stopped a JV game and asked a player to remove a necklace before he allowed the game to continue). These are not the best reasons to switch to volleyball. [/quote]
