How Can I Stand Out At My Volleyball Tryouts?

Question

I'm already a really hard hitter I play middle and I can hit very consistently but I want to know to how i can stand out from the other people at the tryouts. I am consistent in everything but I want to stand out so that the coaches pick me. I want the other players and the coaches to be like "WOW she's good". Any suggestions on how i can stand out more from the other girls. Also it would help me if you could tell how i can hit the hardest on the court. Thanks!

Answer 1

hustle

Answer 3

The player that stands out is one who can do everything well! They pass with confidence and accuracy, they can set with proper form and are accurate, they hustle after every ball to try to keep a point alive, they can serve with power and control, and they hit well. Be the one who listens, yells encouragement to other athletes, enjoys playing, and wants to learn to improve. And when you spike the ball, snap your wrist more than you ever think you will need to...

Answer 4

WEAR A BRIGHT COLORED SHIRT

BE IN FRONT OF THE LINE FOR ALL DRILLS (MAKE IT LOOK LIKE YOU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOUR DOING)

ENCOURAGE THE OTHER GIRLS ("GREAT JOB LADIES", "KEEP IT UP", "NICE SERVE", ETC)

STAY CONSISTANT

TRY YOUR ABSOLUTE HARDEST

AND GOOD LUCK!!

Answer 5

work together w the team.

also i went to a camp this past summer and the lady said also if you want to stand out you can also wear a very bright tshirt or shirt cuz then the coach will remember you at tryouts. they can remember you as the girl that can hit very well :-)

hope i helped!

Answer 7

be cute

Answer 8

well actually, there are girls who are like the "Coaches pet" and they always go easy on them b/c of that. so u could try talking to them like they're one of your friends.but dont try to encourage them to make you part of the team. what i mean is like dont be like, so are u gonna put me on the team or ask them questions about volleyball. oh and when u hit the volleyball, it doesnt really matter how hard u hit it, it kinda really matters HOW you hit it.it kind of matters what DIRECTION you hit it in.but, if you really want to increase your chances of making the team, try practicing everyday untill tryouts. Well, hope i helped and hope you make the team!! :D

Answer 9

become a team player. trust me, some people are gonna answer this question saying steal the spotlight, but thats wrong. i made my high school basketball team by sharing the ball and set up nice plays.

if u pass it to your teammates and set up great plays, the coaches should pick u.

Answer 10

be a team player, and most importantly always hustle, coaches really like that

Answer 11

have a good attitude. coaches are always looking for a good player with a good attitude. be a team player and call for the ball. even cheer for the other girls if they have a good play and tell the ones who didn't do well "good try" or whatever.

follow through with your arm when hitting. that usually gives it power and speed

Answer 12

hey just say your sick..

Answer 13

to stickout in tryouts just do your best and try not to make any mistracks but don't be really preppy coaches dont like that be really friendly and help other people if they need it and just try you hardest good luck!!!

Answer 14

u should wear extremely ugly and bright clothes that will definatly make u stand out!!! ♥

Answer 15

I play volleyball as well and you should just have fun. the coaches    don't just pick off of who plays the best. they also pick people who have fun playing.

Answer 16

One of the best things you could prolly do for yourself is to find out what you are not good at and work on that, as far as standing out, have a knowledge of the game and be supportive of you team.  Knowing where you are supposed to be as well as others is vital.  Sometimes it is more impressive for a coach to see a player pick up on the other teams zones because they then know that you understand the larger picture.  This will also help you to pick apart other defenses.  Being a good teammate is also a great way to stand out in coaches eyes.  If you are good you get noticed, if you are good with your team you get remembered.
