most of the time it wouldn't be allowed but in volleyball, if the boy isn't that tall, and the girls are all taller than him, i say let him play, it's not like he's going to do much...i know if i played on my High school's vball team, i wouldn't do much, 15 of the 20 girls were taller than me, the other 5 were all within an inch of me (the only thing i had going for me was that I weighed about 2.5-3 times as much as each of the girls...), and all 20 of them were far more athletic than me, and had far better hand eye coordination than me and i had almost no vertical leap so yeah, i wouldn't get to play even if I had been allowed to...and our team was also one of the best in the nation, i think we ended up #2 or #3 in the country. I did get to be the team manager though
and that was the year we won state, so that was cool...
