Начальный 0 points
From scratch — students learn all skills from the beginning. In-depth training of all technical skills: overhead pass, bump, attack technique, proper run-up, hand placement etc. Theory and rotation.
Начальный + 0 points
Already understand rotation, know where to stand, have basic technical skills + basic physical skills.
Средний 0 points
Players who know rotations, understand substitutions and play 4/2 scheme. Technically proficient, perform actions consistently (serve, attack, pass), good physical preparation.
| Level | Description |
|---|---|
1 - Начальный |
Throwing the ball over the net for fun, with two hands or however. Some can serve overhead and attack above the cable. No concept of roles — everyone plays as best they can! |
2 - Начальный + |
Playing with all main elements: serve, reception, set, attack, block. Designated setters (usually two). Sometimes manage to "spike" or "block in slippers" etc. Concept of roles — only the setter. Setter's set technique is missing — sets as best they can. |
3 - Средний − |
Stable serve, reception, set, attack, block. Active play on the front line and in defense. Designated setters (usually two). Knowledge of player rotation in each zone. Concept of roles — only the setter. Set technique exists but doesn't always work — there's room for growth. |
4 - Средний |
Stable attack, double block. Usually a single setter (5-1) and first-tempo players. About this level of mid- and leading-team players in 3–4 leagues. Roles are present. Setter has good technique but can't always play first tempo and outside hitters. Libero: 70% reception with normal pass to the setter. |
5 - Средний + |
Tempo and combination play (high sets, "wave" sets, quick crosses). 5-1 system, can deliver the ball to any zone and support any combination. Around 2nd league level or first-rank/sport-school graduates. Libero: 80% reception with pass to setter. |
6 - Полупрофи (К.М.С) |
First-rank players and CMS, former pros, current pro beach players. 1st and Premier League teams. |
7 - Профи (М.С.) |
Player on a pro team — their job is to train and play for the club. |

"GOD" level
BAN!

"God" — an over-confident average amateur, inadequately self-assessing their level. |
Teens
Adults
Начальный 0 points
From scratch… (overhead pass/bump, hit technique, run-up, hand placement etc.), theory and rotation.
Начальный + 0 points
Understanding of rotation, where to stand, basic skills at an early stage + basic physical fitness.
Средний 0 points
Knowledge of rotations, 4/2 scheme, technical consistency (serve/attack/pass), good physical preparation.
| Level | Description |
|---|---|
1 - Начальный |
Player is just learning the elements: overhead/bump, hit, serve, footwork, basic positions. Game is not formed yet, elements are unstable. Goal — proper technique in simple conditions. |
2 - Начальный + |
Knows basic elements: serves consistently, knows jump-set and jump hit, sets to the attack zone, receives simple serves and soft hits. Goal — apply technique in difficult conditions (receiving hits/rebounds, accurate sets, stronger serve). |
3 - Средний − |
Can attack/defend/set/receive but has accuracy and quality errors + lacks physical (jump, hit power, "reach" in defense, jump serve). Knows zones and rotation; understands partner signs but can't always cue the attack zone for a partner. |
4 - Средний |
Stable attack/defense, accurate sets and reception. Errors mostly come from a strong serve/attack from the opponent or risky serve/attack. Goal — tactics: defending hits/dinks, blocking around the block, "serve play". |
5 - Средний + |
Good technique, focus on tactics: cross-court serves, hits past the block, block-out, dinks, blocking (if height allows), good defensive positioning. Often a role specialist or universal. 1st–2nd rank; in leagues — above 2nd. |
6 - Полупрофи (К.М.С) |
1st rank or CMS. Plays in major tournaments, high level of technique and tactics, but not on a permanent contract with a pro club. |
7 - Профи (М.С.) |
Player on a pro team — their job is to train and play for the club. |
Player quality coefficient
On the event page you'll see the average level of registered players: "Player level: 4.25 of 7". This coefficient is meant to help you estimate the dynamics of a game or training.
How it's calculated (men only)
The system sums the points and divides by the number of registrations.
Example: 18 players: 14 × (4 pts), 3 × (5 pts), 1 × (6 pts)
((4*14) + (5*3) + 6) / 18 = 4.28
When women participate (and there are fewer women than men)
The formula differs: women have a reducing coefficient (equal to the number of women).
Example: 18 players: 10 × (3 pts), 5 × (4 pts), 3 women × (4 pts)
((3*10) + (4*5) + ((4*3) - 3)) / 18 = 3.28
If women are the majority — the formula is the same as the first example, no reduction.
