Any good volleyball tips?

Question

i kinda suck at volley ball and don't know much about it but would really really like to try out and make te team i have about three months to get good plz help thx

Answer 1

Constantly bump the ball up and down on your arms over and over until you reach like 150 bumps, then go on to setting, do the same routine as you did with the bumping. also go to any open gyms or camps that your school has for you (dealing with volleyball), believe me it help get you reconized, and show that you are comitted to volleyball. I just tried out to make the volleyball team 1 week ago and i made it, and thats what i had to do to earn my spot on the team! hope i helped!<33

Answer 2

just practice a lot, and watch your technique. try reading some books about volleyball to get some tips from former players and coaches..this website helped me too: http://www.active.com/images/newsletters...

the best thing you can do is to practice your technique and train a lot by working on your abs and arm muscles...do lots of lunges, sit-ups, push-ups, jumps, lifting, and running

camps and clubs also help a lot

Answer 3

when forearm passing, keep the ball between yourself and the target and out in front of your body. the key to a successful pass are setting up in a balanced, stable position before contact with the ball. Angle your platform toward the target. hint-changing your platform while the ball is on your forearms only confuses the ball and will result in a unplayable ball, also known as a shanked pass.

-ready position

1. feet are at least shoulder-width apart with right foot slightly forward

2. head is in front of shoulders

3. shoulders re in front  knees and knees are flexed

4. body is in a comfortable medium posture

5. body weight is on he front half of your feet with your toes pointing straight ahead

6. arms are in a relaxed position with the elbows bent and hands up and in your line of vision

7. body is upright with chest up, not bent at the waist

-platform

1.keep the ball between your body and the net, even when moving

2. set up in a balanced position before movement or contact

3. keep hands in front of your body with your elbows locked when forming and presenting your platform to the ball

4. keep wrists parallel and thumbs pointed toward the floor

5. interlock your hands comfortably.

6.DO NOT CROSS YOUR THUMBS

-contact

1.present a good and relaxed, but firm, platform for the ball to rebound from

2. contact the ball on your forearms between your elbows and your wrists

3. face your platform in the direction you intend to pass

-follow through

1.move through the ball to the target

2.keep knees flexed when you step to the target and transfer your boday weight forward.

3. maintain arms in a firm yet flexible platform

4.recover and be ready to continue play after contact

to practice this pass against the wall over and over again or pass to yourself. if u have some one willing to help you then have them toss the ball at you. practice getting around it and passing it up to them. make sure your low the whole time you do this.

SETTING

make sure that your body gets to the ball before contact so that your feet,hips, and shoulders are facing the target. your rght foot is slightly forward and your feet are shoulder width apart. when you arrive at the ball, your hands are above your forehead and shaped like the ball. you want your thumbs pointing toward your eyes and your fingers spead apart, yet strong and relaxed.when the ball is in your hands, bend and extend through the ball.

-ready position

1. right foot is slightly forward with body weight balanced

2. feet, hips, and shoulders face the target

3. knees are bent and back is straight; head is in front of shoulders

4. hands are above forehead

5. fingers are open and hands are rounded like the shape of the ball

6. thumbs are toward the eyes

-contact

1. contact the ball above the forehead

2. keep hands strong but relaxed

3. make contackt with all 10 finger pads, not with the palms

4. bend elbows at a 45 degree angle

5. keep body upright

6. use the force your generate from your entire body to set the ball

7. transfer your weight forward and set over your right foot

-follow through

1. your arms should be fully extended; then follow through with your entire body

2. the left foot naturally comes through and forward as the ball is released

Answer 4

thres not much to explain here, just watch the ball, and when you bump, just before the ball hits your forearm, lok at where you want it to go (that works for me all the time). try going to a camp theyll teach your everything.

Answer 5

haha same with my problem.

But i trained and now I guess I am pretty good.=]

Well you want to focus on 3 things

1. jump height

2. hand eye cordnation

3. strenth in abs.

4. ball work

1. jump rope for 2 minutes without tripping.

or do a knee jump where you jump and grab your knees. do 30.

2. throw the ball againest a wall and when it comes back to you hit it down wards so it hits the ground before it hits the wall again

3. push ups & pull ups are amazing. you work alot of muscles in your body so there works amazingly. and look up online for good ab work outs.=]

4. just practice on a wall or with a parnter to get the feel of the ball and how to work with it.

hoped i helped =]
