I need all the help I can get. what can i do to learn. where can i learn all the moves i need to know? what are some drills I can practice

Answer 1

To be honest, even though your height is great for both sports, you should play volleyball instead of basketball since volleyball is easier to pick up than basketball at your age. If you had started basketball at a young age then you would have made a great center for your school team. Well, in order to improve: PRACTICE ALL THE TIME! I'm positive that you can google drills and moves or watch videos on youtube on volleyball. The same thing can be said about basketball, but it's kind of hard to pick up and get on the same level as other players when you have never played it before.

i agree with the person below. basketball is really hard to get into this late. but on the other hand, volleyball is the best choice. to get the most help, buy volleyball books to learn, watch the olympics, just simply research online (previous questions on Yahoo Answers for example), and it might be too late now, but go to volleyball camps around the area (search online, or ask people who you know play volleyball), then try out for the school team if you have a middle school league. if you don't make that, join a club team. once again, look it up online, or get advice from maybe the volleyball coach at your school, your high school (send them an email) or just someone you know who plays vball. dont be shy, people love to give advice about things like that and will probably love you have you at their club. Club is after school volleyball is over. So basically the 1st semester of school is vball, then for Winter and Spring you'll have Club Vball. Thats how people stay in tip top shape. You can play vball year round too. Good luck! And your height is perfect for vball, just play fierceeee!
