I don't know what you said exactly... but I'm 183... so, I don't have any hopes of ever going anywhere with this sport, though I still play it and I do love it.

I don't like him to be honest. Sorry but he's too tall for my liking, and no one can really change my mind about that. Yes he's definately good, even for his height, but i'd never recognize him as one of my favorite players.

Hey Nagor, that's great to hear. I live in Canada so I don't get to see any of these matches on t.v. (only Vball on t.v. is the Olympics or World League if Canada is involved..). But I don't mind waiting a few weeks if you're going to put up some nice clips. Thanks :)

This is some beautiful volleyball.

Wow so teams are actually running backcourt quick attacks with the 'golden formula' eh? Anyone have more video's with this rule? I haven't seen many yet. Now... not that I think its a good idea for the sport of volleyball in general, but I think it must make for some longer rallies and some really nice digs, so I really want to watch some of it.

I'm so glad i've never done that :)

Heh awesome. You rarely see guys swing that hard at quicks anymore these days :)

Great video :) But.. you gotta fix that vertical stretching problem, it makes the court look too small. You could try a free program like Super, and re-encode using a different aspect ratio. It should do the job quickly..

yeah lol @ the end

What's that Poland/Bulgaria match from. Is that World Championships 06? Or maybe World Leauge 06? If it is then I might have that match from a friend of mine, haven't watched it yet though. It'll make for some good highlights for the next vid though ..

What... haha are you serious. Sergio would do that. Amazing :P

I don't think the singer in offspring was talking about hitting volleyballs.. I dunno maybe he's a setter, and when he throws up a money ball he says "you know you want to hit that".

But... very nice vid ?

Cool new site btw, way to go admins :)

Btw, 4 of the guys on the Alberta team (black) in this rally are now playing on the national team....

Yes ugly form, not the best hitter to watch, but he's still pretty effective, and is better at dirty tips and wiping off the block than most players.

Yeah yeah, Lecross is our 'official' sport, whatever that means. It's not really popular, maybe more than in most other countries though. Hockey is the biggest sport around here, imo.

Chrison89, i'm so sorry, those idiots at Youtube caught all your stuff and pretty are about to pretty much destroy the website and access to volleyball video's online it looks like...

Toranaga you make a very good point. In some provinces, volleyball is doing quite well. Manitoba and Quebec are 2 good examples, but I live in Ontario, it's not very popular here at all. I'm pretty sure that you guys even get stuff like the PanAm games aired on t.v. if your near Winnipeg, but that never happens here. All the poker on the sports networks drive me crazy, and there's lots of other crappy shows they use just to fill up time. Volleyball would do much better, I just can't understand why they wouldn't even try. And fact is, the media has a huge influence in which sports people think are cool and good, and therefore has a huge influence on which ones become popular starting in high school and going through university to the pro level. Sp.. I put quite a bit of blame on the sports channels for volleyballs unpopularity in most of the places in Canada.

Heh is Canada good? They are certainly capable of playing good but they did have quite a few bad matches in World League, and finished last in their pool going up against Brazil, Finland, and Korea. Though Paul Duerden, a very respected and talented right side was out with a hip injury, you can see him play a bit against Korea but that's all. I think Dallas Soonias was also injured and he was also a major part of the team. Hopefully Canada will show a better performance in the 2010 World Championships. Canada was invited back with WL08 and they had to drop out, because one of the programs which funded Canadian athletes cut the funding to the volleyball program, and Volleyball is so unpopular to the average person in Canada that they actually couldn't afford to participate in World League. It didn't help that CBC wanted over a quarter of a million dollars just to air the games on t.v., I don't know if that's normal or not, but I would guess that in almost any other place in the world, you make lots of money by airing volleyball on t.v., rather than it being a burden to the television station.
