Answer 1

YOu see, Anyone can learn how to play volleyball, but if you start late, it takes a lot of hard work and dedication. I have been playing volleyball since kindergarten, and am now in sixth grade and playing on the Junior Varsity team. Email me @ [e-mail]

Answer 2

uhm your screwed you cant start as a junior!

Answer 3

The most important thing you can do is get involved with as much volleyball as you possibly can from now until tryouts. Google camps in your area, almost all colleges with a volleyball program will have a camp. If there are youth clubs near you see if they have summer volleyball programs, also talk to your high school coach to see if your school will be holding opengym before tryouts.

Ask anyone you know that knows the game to play with you. Watch volleyball on TV. Also start strengthening your body! You dont even need weights, you can run sprints, do wall-sits, lunges, squats, calf raises, and jump rope. Get your jumping muscles strong. Strengthen your core, back, and shoulders(sit-ups, scissor kicks, russian twists, supermans, and PUSHUPS)

All these things help, if you are serious about wanting to make the team, know that it is going to be really hard but you can do it if you commit yourself to it. At tryouts keep a never give up and positive attitude, be coachable, and always always hustle. Even if you don't have the greatest skill your attitudeand willingness to try can get you a spot.

You are fairly tall so I would suggest hitting, right handers normally hit outside, but I'm a righty and i absolutely love weak(right) side. You can determine your position once you master basics

As far as learnign  rules go you'll be much better off going to a website and reading up for yourself.check out this site http://www.strength-and-power-for-volley...

also search youtube.com "how to play volleyball" you'll get some good basics.

Hope this helped :]

Answer 7

Go to http://www.usavolleyball.org/ they are the governing body of volleyball in the US. They will have many resources for you to include rules/laws of the game and contact information for coaches and trainers in your area that may be able to help you. If you live near the beach, you may be able to be a part of pick up volleyball games there. The most important thing; however, is to simply play and be around the game at every opportunity you can. It will pay off, believe me. Best of luck to you!!

Answer 9

i can help, but this might be long.

sorry though.

1.) hits- you can have up to 3 hits. or less , but not more than 3!

2.) one person can hit it at a time ( the same person cant hit it twice)

3.) if the ball its the line , its in.

4.) when your going up for a ball you cant touch the net or step over the line.

5.) you want to make your 3 hits ; bump, set , spike.

6.) when you serve you have to stay behind the line.(underhand or overhand)

7.) 6 players on the court.

8.) communicate with your players and call the ball ; that avoids injuiries and bruises. lol

9.) you cant play balls off the walls or anything like that.

& i hope this helpss(=

if you have probelms with like setting or spiking , you could go to youtube.com and watch videos on some tips.
