Haven't practiced all summer??

Question

I love volleyball and made A team last year at school. I haven't played all summer, so what are some things i could do to make sure i make the team again? I am a setter, if that helps, at all. I really need to work on my jumping and serving skills, they are still good, i just want to get better!

Answer 1

well......you really should have been doing stuff over the summer.Have you at least been exercising, and not just laying around on the couch eating, watching tv, or getting on the computer? If not, get up & move NOW! seriously- if youve been doing that, go run around your house, and then come back and read the rest of this post. lol

I'd say if you are setter, i would work on moving quickly. maybe do shuffle steps side to side and front to back. along with just plain out short sprints.

now, you probably know that setters use their legs alot and not nescessarily their arms. work on squats,b/c sometimes you will have to set from less than an upright position, and besides that strengthens your legs.

Id say you should also work on ball control.

try this drill---- start out setting normally then gradually sit down...keep setting, and gradually lay down... keep setting,and come up. this helps alot.

Another thing your coach is looking for is a setter that will take charge. A setter that goes for second balls, tells diggers where to pass the ball up to, sets hitters that are calling for the ball, etc.

well thats what ive got for now. hope it helps

Answer 2

Well, that's pretty easy. If you are a setter then work on the things setters work on. Jumping, setting, and blocking, sprints, and just keep practicing.

Answer 3

just practice setting. set the ball against a wall. jump roping can improve your jumping ability as well.

Answer 4

I would say, work on your serving, that will be the most you will ever do in volleyball, and hitting the ball over the net, of course.
