Any tips for trying out for the volleyball team?

Question

I'm going into 8th grade and I really want to try out for the volleyball team. I'm hoping to make A team, but i would love if i could get either. School starts in about a month, and i want to get better, any tips that can help me make the volleyball team??

Answer 1

do any camps that u can find and practice at home have people throw the ball to u it will help

Answer 2

I agree with a lot of the other answers.

1. Have a positive attitude - Coaches look for players who give 110%.  You can teach skills but there is not much you can do with a bad attitude.  Run to shag the ball - don't walk.  Volunteer for what you can, and listen when the coach is talking (nothing worse then trying to talk over a bunch of kids)

2. Get out and get moving.  Start getting yourself into shape.  Lunges and jumps are the best.  Volleyball depends on a lot of quick movements and high jumps... so you need to work on those muscles.

Answer 3

Do you know anyone else who is trying out? Get together with them and play around with a volleyball in your yard or gym. You should start running or jump roping or doing something physical that gets your heart pumping so that you don't absolutely die on the first day... that is NO fun!!! But yeah, find a friend and just practice with them for a little while. When tryouts come around, make sure you hustle (DON'T WALK while you are doing drills and stuff!!) and have a good attitude!! and by the way, if you have never played volleyball before or haven't played a lot, go on youtube or google and learn about the basics like passing and setting and hitting and serving... so you aren't completely lost when the time comes.

GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 4

do as many camps or open gyms as possible.

try your hardest, listen to everything the coach has to say.

like if they tell you to work on something, do it.

and stay positive. just because you mess up on one thing, doesnt automatically mean you arent gonna make the team
