Volleyball has always been a popular sport here in Australia and across the world. In fact, according to Volleyball WA, globally, it is second only to soccer. And it’s easy to understand why.
There are countless benefits to playing volleyball. In addition to the physical benefits – such as increased flexibility, endurance, and strength – it also improves hand-eye coordination, develops better reflexes, and encourages a sense of team spirit. Not to mention, it doesn’t require a great deal of kit or equipment!
In particular, it’s a great sport for children to get into because it’s inclusive, accessible, gender equal and non-contact. Volleyball Australia describes the sport as “easily adaptable, engaging dual-gender opportunities, a rebound and non-contact sport, making it one of the best choices for entry-level opportunities, social play or competition.”
With the summer months beckoning, take these safety tips into consideration:
• Drink plenty of water before, during and after play
• Play within your limits
• Wear 30+ sunscreen, appropriate clothing and a hat
• Do NOT play in extreme weather conditions.
