Level questionnaire
What you’ll achieve: a starting Volley World App Level for the sport you play, which helps match you to balanced games and level-restricted events.
What this questionnaire decides
Section titled “What this questionnaire decides”The questionnaire sets your Volley World App Level — the global skill number Volley World keeps for you — for one specific sport. It is not your club’s level; that one is assigned by your coaches (see Club Level System).
The scale runs from 1 to 10. Your answers land you somewhere between 1 and 6 — the top of the scale is reserved for players who prove it on court. From there the level moves on its own:
- Competitive matches you save in the app (friendly matches with a recorded result) nudge it up in small steps.
- Competitions organized in the app move it much more. A tournament is many matches, and beating a strongly seeded opponent is worth several friendly wins.
Each sport keeps its own level. Beach volleyball, indoor, grass, foot volley and the rest are counted separately, so what you do on sand never touches your indoor level. Run the questionnaire again for another sport to get a starting level there too.
See Volley World App Level for the full mechanics.
The questionnaire runs automatically the first time you reach the home screen — that is, once you’ve signed up and verified your email. It’s two screens.
- On the first screen, under Which is your favorite sport?, pick your sport. Everything you answer from here counts for that sport only.
- Under How would you describe your current skill level?, choose one: Beginner, Intermediate, High Intermediate, Advanced or Competition. (Heed the “do not overestimate yourself” warning — an honest answer is what makes your games fair.)
- Tap Next.
- On the Volley World App Level screen, answer the sport-specific questions (your age, whether you’re registered with a federation, what else you’ve played, and so on). All must be answered.
- Tap Next. Your level is calculated and a Rated Level dialog shows your result.
- Tap Start playing!
Redo the questionnaire
Section titled “Redo the questionnaire”You can redo it from your profile: pick the sport, confirm the warning, re-enter your password, and start again. This is limited to once every 30 days per sport.
