Research On China's Middle School Students Soft Volleyball Competition In The Current Situation And Countermeasures

Soft volleyball was introduced into China in 1995, after having received desirable results through competitive experiments in Beijing University. In the First Soft Volleyball Match for Middle School Students held in Beijing, there were over one hundred teams taking part, leaving a great impression. In 2003, the First National Teenage Soft Volleyball Winter Camp and Championship was held very successfully in the sports training center in Zhangzhou, Fujian Province. There were consecutive games in the following years, except in 2007 and 2008.By means of literature consultation, measurement and evaluation, mathematical statistics and logic analysis, this paper collects relevant information of the participants of every year's Soft Volleyball Championship, targeting at height, weight, length of arm, anteflexion of body when sitting, length of instep, height of instep, length of hand, 30-meter race, run-up jump, V motion, push-up, rope skipping and standing long jump, with the purpose of analyzing the significance and characters of holding soft volleyball matches among middle school students. The current situation is as follows:1. There are more participants in the north than in the south.2. Judging from the statistics of all the participants' figures from 2003 and 2006, there lie gender differences in length of arm, length of instep and height of instep, district differences in height, length of arm, length of instep, height of instep and length of hand. Heights of the participants tend to increase every year.3. In terms of the specific sports quality, there exists distinct gender difference in items controlled by strength (standing long jump, push-up and run-up jump) ; athletes in the north are less strong in speed and agility, but stronger in bouncing than athletes in the south.4. The performance of male athletes is greatly related to height over net and coordination. Besides, the performance of female athletes is also determined by the athletes' speed. 5. Taller and heavier athletes have better sports qualities.Through analyzing the current situation, the paper aims at putting forward some constructive suggestions and theoretical direction for successfully carrying out soft volleyball match among all middle school students.The paper then analyzes the feasibility and main problems of carrying out soft volleyball match among all middle school students right now, as a result of which the paper puts forward the following strategies:1. Developing field equipments to meet the need of middle school students;2. Strengthening the training of teachers and giving full play to teachers' leading role in teaching;3. Ensuring the long-term funding for material assurance of carrying out soft volleyball matches;4. Changing traditional ideas of running a school and getting a better understanding of physical education;5. Integrating point and sphere, with points first and then the whole sphere;6. Enhancing the study of the teaching material and methods of soft volleyball and making teaching material guideline suitable for middle school students.
