Level Guidelines:

[Beginner --> B --> 🅱️🅱️ --> 🅰️--> AA --> Open]

"Beginner" players are playing recreational level volleyball. Most beginner player will have a very hard time playing doubles as they have not developed the skills necessary to keep rallies going.

"B" players are not beginners, but are still learning the game. They should have a basic understanding of the how to play doubles but are still inconsistent in their core skills. They can set their partner, but many of their sets may be technically doubles contacts, or may be limited to bump setting. Teams should be able to get 3 contacts on the ball, but many plays result in either rolling or bumping the ball.

🅱️🅱️ players are can execute all skills well (serving, receiving, setting, hitting) but vary in their consistency. They should be able to serve receive consistently and should have a strong understanding of defensive positioning and blocking calls. Hand sets should be clean (and you should have the ability to recognize double contacts.)

The core difference between Upper BB and Lower BB is the level of consistency and athleticism. Lower BB may have an understanding of how to play doubles, but are only executing on the core skills ~50-60% of the time and may be physically more limited. At the Upper BB you should be doing most skills well 70-80% of the time and have the athleticism to effectively cover the court and execute a large range of offensive tactics. Upper BB players would expect to finish towards the top of a BB tournament.

🅰️ players are above average competitive players. They have in depth knowledge of offensive and defensive game play, and can consistently execute on all the core skills. When attacking they should be able to utilize a full range of offensive options. At this level doubles players may become more specialized as blockers/defenders.

"AA" players are superb athletes who execute their skills with the highest of power and efficiency. This is the last stop before becoming a "Pro" or "Open" player.
