Talk:Volleyball in the United States

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I added a section regarding JOVC and will add to it once I get some more current info. Please don't bite the newcomers as I will get to some more editing when I get the research needed for the section. It needs work, but it'll get there. --PaddyM 03:36, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Shouldn't this be "...around the world"?

I'm wondering if it's worthwhile having an article specifically on volleyball in the US? It's popular in many areas of the world, and the points made in the article apply to those regions also. I think it would be better to have the article Volleyball around the world, such as the one for football. Icemuon 13:13, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

"Volleyball in the United States" and "Volleyball around the world" would seem to me to be complementary topics, such as Football (soccer) around the world and Soccer in the United States are. Cheers --Pak21 13:25, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Hmm, I'm still feeling "off" about this. Would then an article on "Volleyball in Iceland" or "Volleyball in Brazil" also be acceptable? Icemuon 14:01, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

"Volleyball in Iceland" I'd be a bit dodgy about as the Icelanders don't play volleyball to any significant extent as far as I'm aware. "Volleyball in Brazil" would be fine (and welcome). They'd fit in perfectly well with Volleyball in Poland and Volleyball in Spain. Cheers --Pak21 14:17, 20 November 2006 (UTC)

Ok, should have done more research. But in fact, volleyball is widely played in Iceland -- hundreds of teams, not bad for a country of 300,000! Icemuon 14:31, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
