[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My short (5’3”) DD has a height complex now after playing volleyball. She’s so fast, agile, has a killer serve but is overlooked year after year for the tall girls. DD can even block because her vertical is so high but obviously not as consistently as the 6,0” girls can. She plays the short girl position (libero) but it’s hard to see her work so hard and get dismissed by coaches for her height. She told me she is reading the writing on the wall and is thinking of quitting after 5 years of club. [/quote]

They artificially created libero though, they say it's because center blockers weren't very good at digging, but that's two sides of the same coin.

So, like as was posted above, it's not actually "unfair" in the way you think it is.  They made rules explicitly to help short players who can't block or spike.

I mean they did the same thing in baseball, why is the strike zone based on the player's height.  It's actually very unfair for taller players.  It would have been easy like cricket, to have something behind them where the ball has to go in the zone.  Like a frame or something.  Same for everyone.[/quote]
