Answer 1

I'm also an 8th grader trying out for volleyball. Our tryouts were and are yesterday,today,wednesday,and thursday. I played Last year so I had learned a lot. But in your case i would work on setting and bumping the most becasue that is the most important thing. So get one of your buddys from the team and practice once a day before tryouts. Get your setting down and bumping down and you'll be in good shape. =]

Answer 2

practice with a friend  

Answer 3

Well, you wanna work on everything. I wouldnt so much worry about over hand serving but you could practice that to. you should practice bumping definetly try bumping it up in the air to yourself or practice with a friend.if you have a volleyball net i would suggest setting it up to practice serving or setting, and even spiking. I've been playing volleyball since 5th grade. It's and extremely addictive sport. as long as your head's in the game you should do fine. just focus and dont let other girls intimidate you or anything like that. do your best!

good luck!  

Answer 4

i played and was captain in middle school

As far as things to work on..

--get a vball and pass it to someone or on a wall its perfectly fine. make sure u have a good stance and u aren't too stiff.

--on the wall work on setting, make a diamond with ur fingers at ur forehead and push outward towards the ball. like superman. um then work on spiking.

--practice jumping as high as u can. then do ur approach. THEN add the ball. hav someone toss or set it to you.

--for middle school its not as important bt u shud try an overhand serve, do it so ur most comfortable and u get it in most serves. but underhand is fine.

they will proabably run u alot to see who REALLY wnts to make it. so dont give up. but since its middle school the coachs will probably explain everything to you that they want you to know. i cam in in middle school having never played before. make sure u know basic rules and things. just have a smile and hustle, run EVERYWHERE. and dont bad talk the coach. be coachable.

hope this helps

=D

Answer 5

Even though you're tall and good at spiking, you're missing the most important skills in volleyball; passing and serving!

I coach grade 8 girls volleyball, and I like my players to be able to underhand pass and serve before I start teaching them how to spike.

Just start passing against a wall about 100 times a day (or more!).  Make sure you get someone to show you how to do it properly.

But don't worry, at grade 8, a lot of people are still developing their skills, and because you're tall and good a spiking, you'll probably make the team.  Just keep on improving!

Answer 6

Work on that approach and sets if you plan on being a front row player (which I would suggest since you're tall). Work out your legs to build muscle for your jumps and work out your arms too. OH and don't hit the poor back row libero-esque player in the face. PLEASE. It hurts really bad.

Answer 7

work on serving and passing. Those are the 2 most important things that coaches look for. Attacking is a plus and so would blocking. But have confidence and dont worry!!!! good luck!
