Can anyone tell me what this means, and what 'A Pass' and 'B Pass' are?
I only read a vague explanation about it, but it literally just grades how well the serve receive is
An A Pass is more or less passed just above the setter's box, wherein they don't have to adjust or chase the ball that much, it's usually when they try to pull quicks and combination plays.
A B Pass is around 1-2 meters away from the setter's box, not that bad, just gives the setters fewer options, unless they can pull off good quicks with underhand sets, run or kneel while setting and whatnot (I think I remember Miyashita doing some of these during the Rio era). Some of them are still salvageable to the point where a setter can still set up quicks and combination plays though.
There's also a C Pass = more than 2 meters away from the setter's box, usually when the setters are forced to use the pins (I categorize them as Out of System Plays though).
Six Uni girls just dropped into V2, (post in the V2 thread). Two of them were with the Summer League University selection West Team (the non-Kanto players). One is with Tokai Mermaids ... so Tier 2-ish
V2 is the Uni Girl Hangout. A lot end up there . Only the best of the best will hit V1
Exciting times, but it's a pain in the ass trying to figure out their names
Is that why most men's uni players don't bother with V2 because they know it's a bad place to land...
Here is a visual example of the A, B, C.

That's what I thought it was , but there was something about this context that made me question my understanding. Talk about "paths" made me think it might be about where the pass goes or or high it is -- not in it being a good or a not good pass.
The other thing that confused me is the [google translated] phrase "raise the toss". I always assumed that meant the "set", but hitters use the phrase. Like Koga will say "when I raise the toss". I think this is part of that issue with translating Japanese where they will be talking about someone in the third person doing something and say "*I* do this"

It might be different for men. But yeah, V2 is the minor leagues
I think many of the women players look at their volleyball life the way a lot of people take yoga classes or go to the gym for their exercise. They've been through Uni and have some vague career path in mind so they get a job. And if that job also has a volleyball team it's a bonus because they like it as their form of exercise
Some may think they'll join one of the better V2 teams and help them promote to V1, but half the women's V2 teams have no intention or desire to promote to V1
Personally I like watching players who know there's no great future in their volleyball life, but when they play they play at 120% anyway. What they lack in skill they make up for with passion

It may be more of the following. If the JVA brings you into some youth camps, or even if regional coaches put together a regional camp, you are starting to get recognized. If you do well, you get on team's radar early. However, if you are a late bloomer, you may not be noticed until college.

Isn't that ironic considering the men's division have until V3? voly and it seems they plan on expanding the V3 according to that former JT Thunders player who switched to beach volley.
Do they look like they're having more fun? since there's less pressure. Except for Gunma they proly want a piece of that V1 action.
That's majority of the world for you or maybe she doesnt gaf. I mean Plummer was asked who her fave player was and she left it blank. maybe that's just how they are

I think they do. Like Kurobe and Toyota 
I'm liking Denso libero Satomi Fukudome in this match, and Yokota is handling the lollypops pretty well 
It feels weird having just one game today. I need more.
