A METRIC COURT Think you know volleyball? Look carefully at the white lines on our new center court! As far as we can tell (correct us if we’re wrong,) Garfield is the first high school in the state to employ metric measurements for its volleyball court. Volleyball is wildly popular around the world, and metric is the standard. We at Garfield intend to be part of the volleyball revolution! In this gym, the old “ten foot line” is now the “three meter line”; that line is 5 centimeters wide. The full court is now nine meters wide by eighteen meters long. The top of the net is 2.24 meters from the court. If you forgot to bring your conversion table, you’ll note that the entire court is a few inches smaller all around than the old non-metric version. It means that defenders have more room to chase deflected balls, and that hitters will have to be ever-so-slightly more accurate. And—glad you asked—the balls are now filled with .32kg/cm2 of air! |

 "Volleyball is a sport of beauty, grace and power. It's an intoxicating combination. It is the most appealing of all the women's sports. And the most underrated."–Tom Shatel, Omaha World Herald "There is a power here you don't see in women's hoops. Few [basketball] players can dunk. Few block shots. But in volleyball, you usually get a power-on-power confrontation on every point. When one team sends two or three players to the net to block, it's fullback vs. linebacker, a goal-line stand."–Shatel "It's a sport of speed, grace and cunning, played high in the air and low on the floor, with rapid turns of momentum. The players resemble ballet dancers with bazookas — ready, set, kill." –Michael Kelly, Omaha World-Herald |
