The players' performances were analysed in real-time during a congested fixture volleyball tournament. A discriminant analysis model demonstrated that 70.60% of the variance within the dataset could be explained in one dimension with height, competitional readiness and skill performance as the most contributing factors in separating the players. Moreover, analysis of variance revealed that spikers are significantly taller than liberos and executed higher performance compared to setters p < 0.05. However, no significant differences were observed between the players in psychological strategies, age, as well as weight p > 0.05.
