Freshman Volleyball? Any Chance I Can Make It?

Question

Okay, My 8th Grade year I made the volleyball team. I'm going into high school and volleyball tryouts are today. Some people lied to me and said tryouts only started at 5pm, but i figured out this morning that they were at 10am as well. I plan to go later, and do what i can, but does this mean i'll have less of a chance to make the team because I missed the first try-out? The coaches know me, and what i'l capable of doing. Do I even stand a chance of making the team?

Please & Thanks. (:

Answer 1

In spite of the coach knowing you it shouldn't make a difference because it's your talent that gets you on the team. Some ways you can make the team are positive attitude. when you mess up then don't get upset about it but improve yourself and always try harder the next time. Constant effort is what will really help you make the team. Also, commitment is a BIG one...once you know you are going to do your best and make every try-out you should make sure you make these a priority. No matter how much work load may be on you from school and home you still have to commit to your VB practice.  

Answer 2

get there early & tell your coach about what happened (it may help to actually say who told you wrong so that they know that that person is dishonest).

offer to  make up what you missed somehow.

&since you weren't there earlier you should be winning every sprint or whatever that you can & working twice as hard as everyone else.

&& make sure you know exactly when practice tryouts are from now on.lol
