    Benefits of Playing Volleyball

    Physical and mental health


    The most obvious advantage is that its a great form of cardiovascular exercise. These types of
    exercises strengthen the heart and lungs and help oxygen flow more freely through your body.
    When your body and your heart are working better, it helps prevent diseases such as
    cardiovascular disease, cancer and diabetes. Exercise also helps you get in shape and tone your
    body leading to better overall health and more energy as well as better mental health and
    increased happiness and well-being.
    Hand-eye coordination/agility and flexibility
    A second advantage to playing volleyball is an increase in hand-eye coordination. With the quick
    movements of the ball and having to constantly be aware of where it is, you have to not only see
    it, but also be able to make a decision on how to handle the ball, should it come in your direction.
    What kind of pass will you make? How hard can you hit it without it going out? Which of the
    opposing team will you target with your spike or serve? Similarly, it builds sprint speed and
    agility because of its quick changes of pace and direction as well as improves flexibility of hands
    and feet.
    Social interaction/Sportsmanship
    Volleyball helps you learn how to work with friends and teammates with a common goal. This
    makes you feel a sense of belonging and value. You learn how to work as part of the team and
    learn how to work well with others in attaining that goal. This comes by knowing what your
    teammates are doing at all times, where they are on the floor, what their jobs are, what your job
    is working together to make points for your team and to prevent the other team from getting
    points. It teaches how to accept defeat and how to win graciously.
