Can I play volleyball if I’m short?

Question

I’m 5’2” and a girl. Could I play volleyball? I know liberos are usually short. Could I play that position? I heard setters are usually the next shortest players after liberos. Could I play that position? Or would I need to be taller? Is there any other position I could play?

Your actual skills, dedication, dependability, how well you respond to coaching, whether you’re a team player, whether you bring a positive attitude all matter far more then your height.

So sure you can play volleyball.  Libero, defensive specialist, setter, serving specialist are all different positions where height is less important.

You can play any position ....if you are good.  You can even be a center blocker, but you would have a more difficult job than someone who is a foot taller.
