Free Ball - The Volleyball Podcast.

    Volleyball timed would just be weird imo just because there are already so many natural pauses in-game. Like Basketball and Football, Handball, Hockey etc. its always ongoing whereas when at Volleyball the ball hits the floor it's over. I also had this idea a while ago but in Volleyball maybe it's weird.


    Just imagine the time-wasting on a team with a lead...


    Just cut out technical timouts completely, maybe speed-up the time inbetween point-serve just a little. I think that would be more then enough already. 2 TO's + 2 Challenged is enough breaks.

    I agree, technical timeouts are totally unnecessary when there is challenge rights. Cutting them to one already made a difference but I would be happier if they will abolish it for good

    TTOs are just a Japanese, and hence a FIVB thing, right? Do Puerto Rico or Russia club matches, for example, have them too? I've never watched a Russia Club match.


    I don't mind them at all, but Masayoshi Manabe kind of abused them by calling a time out one point shy of a TTO every time, guaranteed.

    I remember there was a rumor about USA starting a volleyball league last year. I guess it's a lost cause now:huh:

    Larson & Hill for beach volleyball:D

    Larson's picks for the dream team, the same as Tijana, except for libero, she picked Simge.

    Larson seems pretty cool, I did laugh at the question about screams through the net remembering her infamous one against Ninkovic, she probably can’t complain about any after that :whistle:


    Also, well done on Chirichella’s name. :thumbup::lol:

    in fact, they had 8 male teams playing. It called National Volleyball Association, it's to me that it founded by former US athletes like Lloy Ball, David Smith, Russell Holmes. They had played for 2 seasons and arranged plenty of games. I hope that they can keep on the good work and more investments will go to the teams.


    You can check out their website (NVA USA) and app.
