Considering joining Volleyball team with no prior experience... yay or nay?

Question

I have been home schooled for the past four years, because I moved around a lot between family members in varying locations while my mom stayed at the hospital with my sister for her surgeries and such. My mom is now back home, and I am going to start and finish my senior year (this coming fall) at the local high school. I was thinking of joining a sports team so I can transition more smoothly into school. I also want to be involved in something, and for some reason volleyball has captivated me. I have never played a formal game on a team, just here and there with friends.

If I practice over the summer and have fun with it, do you think I have a chance with getting on the team, or would I need a lot more experience? Help please!

Thanks for your answers. =]

Answer 1

i would say yay

i went from suck to average, so i improved a lot, and i had no volleyball experience.

if i work on my hitting then i can earn a varsity spot but so far i was on jv for my first team(im a soph)

Answer 2

yay! i did it for the first time in mi life this past season in 8th grade! i LUVED it i cant serve 4 c**p but i am gonna practice this summer 2 make JV in HS in the fall. Do it! plus it felt great to belong 2  a team!

Answer 3

I'd say: Go for it! that's how it happened with me last fall. i only played volleyball in gym class and being on a team required knowing a LOT of rules about the game. Being a junior, the JV coach accepted me on the team and I have improved a lot over just two months. And in the end, I fell in love with volleyball =)

Answer 4

I know what  are going through Im going to try out for a V-ball team and I have no experenice either but that doesnt stop me from falling in love with Volleyball. I would say have fun on it work on what you think you need and GO FOR IT and When tryouts come out the coach for our V-ball coach wants to see effort!! So try your best and give it 100%. and Maybe you will make the team. Everyone has a chance Belevie in yourself you can do it.  I know you will love Volleyball i fell in love with it Have fun!! Ps. Here's a hint Dive for the ball at all costs dont worry about falling your knee pads will keep your knees from falling  Diveing for the ball is the game dont worry bout getting hit in the head with the ball or whatever just get up there hit the ball with all of your might and score a point Good Luck!!  good choice for a sport

Answer 5

i think you should start on a not so expierienced team just to get your skills perfected (like a community recreational team) and then you should go onto a high school/competitive/travel team

good luck, volleyball is fun!

Answer 6

i would def say yay i was on a volleyball team with NO experience wat so ever i am now one of the best players on my team so get on a summer team practice a lot and join :D
