Volleyball poles typically stand about 2.55 to 3 meters (8.3 to 9.8 feet) tall to support the net at regulation height. The poles must be strong and adjustable to hold the net tension properly. While the net height is set at 2.43 meters for men and 2.24 meters for women, the extra pole height allows for secure net attachment and adjustments during play. https://mxysport.com/volleyball-net-heights
