QuestionQUESTION: What is considered to be a good standing reach, vertical and approach for someone of my height? I'm a guy of 6 foot and play as libero
ANSWER: Good evening and welcome to www.allexperts.com!
I don't often work with men, but being a 6'1" guy, and playing a lot when I was in my 20's - 40, I think I have a good idea on the answers to your questions.
Standing Reach: 7'9"
Vertical: 23"
Approach Reach: 9'10"
I'm assuming you are in your 20's or 30's, are of reasonable weight and arm length, and a good athlete (not poor and not a freak).
Now, I'm sure there will be many comments saying that these numbers are too low/high. :) You all are free to email me at

QUESTION: well im only 17 years old and i weight 155 pounds
AnswerOK, thank you.
I still think I'm about right.
I was above average athletically, I imagine you are too.
I was jumped about 22" in my best days.
Do those #'s sound about right to do? I'm thinking when you do your entire spike approach, you will come up a few inches short of touching a basketball goal. Is that the case? Most 6' boys cannot touch the basketball rim. Many can, most cannot. If you can, then you're above average jumper. If can dunk a basketball, then you're must be jumping better than 23" or you have exceptionally long arms (which, if you do, would mess up my standing & approach reach numbers).
Hope this helps some.
And hope you have a super week!
