I was an A level outdoor doubles USVBA (volleyball) player.

What type of league is this and how competative are they?

Levels are generally, B, BB, A, AA, Open. Though many tournaments only have B, A, and Open otherwise the pools are too small.

How competitive? Hard to say. Not nearly as much as in California, I'm sure.

Most A players are good atheletes. Trim, can jump, hit the ball hard, etc. I'm not sure what frame of reference I could use that would make sense.

B level players would be the better players at drop in volleyball. Often B level players were either fat or had been A players that age caught up with, but were players that knew the game. Occasionally you'd get a good athelete that didn't know volleyball well and their inconsistency lands them in B.

A level players know position on court, use blocking signs/signals, can play the whole court, jump serve, etc. A players almost never play drop in, the level just isn't good enough to be interesting. Or if they did, all of them go to the same drop in place so the competition is decent and lesser players shy away from it and go elsewhere.

I had a hard jump serve, I passed decently and set very well, and played good defense. I could absolutely crush the ball when hitting. However, I'm short and can't jump relative to good A players so working around the block of a good player was hard for m. And my hitting lacked accuracy and relied on raw power. My cut shot sucked.
