What is reason for USA not to change to the international ball at college, club and hs level? I’m assuming money 'Participation' is the official reason the US system has chosen not to play in accordance to the rules used by almost every federation / organization throughout the rest of the world. I agree with the those who claim this is largely the reason why the US seems to have more trouble than rival countries in developing solid all-around OHs. NCAA OHs struggle so mightily to pass at the international level because A.) opponent's serving is obviously leaps better, but B.) the Mikasa ball is far more difficult to pass due to increased movement, structure, etc. I also agree that it is not the responsibility of NCAA coaches to develop talent for the NT. Their job is to develop their team to the best of their ability to win at that level pursuant to the rules in place at that level. I don't know a coach in the country who would forego a meaningful win in order to prep a player for a potential career at the next level. Their AD isn't buying that. While it would definitely be nice to see a smoother transition of NCAA OHs to the International game, I obviously can't blame NCAA coaches for using the rules to their advantage (subs / DSs) USAV could have their GJNC’s and qualifiers with the Mikasa ball but they would never be forward thinking enough to do it. Waiting until NCAA play would be too late anyway. The juniors should be playing with the same ball used around the world. Leave it to Americans to be dumb enough to think we need to be different.

Double sub utilized awfully early. And Plummer gets walled by Ogoms trying to hit through the block instead of high hands. Canada up 13-8

Canadians start using the Mikasa at U17 and it is used through the University Vball system. That being said, we call it the “concussion” ball because it is heavy and we seem to get more ball related injuries

College uses the Molten 5000, University uses the Mikasa MVA200.
