The players are getting better and better and faster every year. Each hit at a high level of play is a challenge.

Some setters are so close to double hitting each ball, you cannot fall asleep. I know it sounds wierd that it is mentally draining, but give it a shot, you'll understand.

As far a line ups, only the R2 (down official) keeps a card so that they can keep track of subs. When you are up, it is too hard to do that and, you cannot take your eyes off the ball to check and see if someone is a backrow hitter, you just need to know.

And if someone says working volleyball is like stealing money, they probably are. Each sport has officials that do the minimum and cash out. If he finds HS so easy and relaxing, he needs to be working D1 or international ball. They need the help.
