Why is volleyball so uncommonly developed in China relative to other ball sports?

Numbers, difficulty, venues, popularity.

First of all, table tennis can be played by two people for four, and so can badminton. Tennis two people can have fun. Basketball one person can practice shooting, two people can play three or four five or six people can. Soccer one person can also practice shooting. What about volleyball? It's hard for six people to play volleyball. How can eight people, ten people, twelve people get together? Secondly, compared with table tennis, badminton, tennis, volleyball is more teamwork. Often play together to have a feeling of the second pass is good distribution, people are not good together how to play well. Again, the difficulty of volleyball is higher compared to soccer and basketball. This is really the case. A good catch is a problem, the strength of the ball does not touch the net is not easy, not to mention blocking. If there is no dunking both sides of the mutual pads is also boring, kill time.

Volleyball is not as popular as other programs, the fundamental problem may be the venue, it seems that the development of large venues in China are not so ideal. In my experience, sports are all about what the school has available for students to learn, so the school's athletic facilities constrain students' choices about participating in sports. Venues. Outdoor pitches really don't dare to catch a pass properly, compared to the prevalence of other ball pitches would be inadequate. It is rare for primary and secondary school campuses to have a soccer field, and many schools may only have a basketball court. The number of volleyball courts is also generally less than basketball courts. Basketball courts, half a basketball court can be a dozen or more people take turns on the court to catch waves. There is no net in the middle of the basketball court, which is suitable for recess parades. After a decade or so of dominance of basketball courts in primary and secondary schools, there are relatively more options for sports when you enter college, but programs such as badminton, which can be played singly, are significantly easier to self-train than volleyball. Even in collective sports such as basketball and soccer, individual hero moments of shine or one-upmanship between star players during a game often leave a lasting impression on viewers. For example, ping pong singles matches and basketball in the 1V1, 1VN scenes always make people's blood boil.
