Explain the decision, not just the diagram
Rotation and system breakdowns, position-specific skills, match analysis and coaching ideas grounded in the level, personnel and situation being discussed.
We welcome pitches from coaches, players, writers and well-informed supporters who can explain something they know closely and support it with evidence.
Good volleyball writing does more than repeat a result or collect familiar advice. It shows the reader what mattered, how a decision worked or why a player, team or piece of equipment deserves a closer look. We are interested in original reporting, practical knowledge and arguments that leave room for the complexity of the sport.
Rotation and system breakdowns, position-specific skills, match analysis and coaching ideas grounded in the level, personnel and situation being discussed.
Shoes, balls, knee pads and other equipment assessed through real use. Tell readers who the product may suit, where it falls short and what you compared it with.
Reported player stories, overlooked careers, league culture and clearly framed opinion. Strong claims should be supported rather than presented as settled fact.
The article must be yours and must not have appeared elsewhere. We do not publish mass-generated, lightly rewritten or search-first copy that adds no reporting or experience.
Link to sources for factual claims. Disclose relevant club, brand or commercial relationships, and do not present rumours as confirmed information.
Use a clear opening, useful headings and paragraphs with a natural rhythm. Most accepted features will fall between 800 and 1,500 words, but the subject should determine the length.
Write with confidence where the evidence allows it and qualification where it does not. Tactical and gear recommendations should acknowledge that players, levels and coaching approaches differ.
