· Summary

The fact that the U.S. Men finished sixth and the U.S. Women ninth in the 1956 World Championships certainly substantiates the accuracy of two observations often made by keen students of the game in this country: (1) We have only scratched the surface of potential offensive and defensive volleyball, both from the standpoint of individual and team play. (2) Until the day when volleyball is adopted as a varsity sport by high schools and colleges on a nationwide basis, U.S. teams will be at a disadvantage in international competition.

When we consider the fact that practically every other top team in the last World Championships was state supported and that they went through intensive daily drilling for a three- or four-month period during which time their major concern was volleyball, it is amazing that our teams did so well. In view of other factors (1) that our U.S. teams were composed only of those players who could spare the time and money for the trip; (2) that they had practically no training as a team; and (3) that the World Championships were played under strange rules during our off-season, they could hardly expect to place better than they did.

With volleyball now accepted as an official Olympic sport, we will be in a much better position to field truly representa­tive teams in international competition.
