Answer 1

practice practice practice, or go to a camp over the summer!

Answer 2

if u hav a volley ball just dig it, set it against the wall and eventually u will get beta. for spiking u will prob need a anuda person wid u. wat ya do is dig or set to he uda person then they set it up for u and then u will have to spike it ( its a bit like pepper if u know what that is).

to make ur shorts stop falling down just put elastic in them to tighten them or sumtin. :)

Answer 3

go to a training/volleyball camp over the summer. they usually have them at high schools and stuff. theyre for about a week. wear sliders underneath the shorts. like in basketball(if your vball uniform is long enough) tie the drawstring tighter.

Answer 4

vert is easy, just use the program on this link

me and my friends do it every week.

for hitting power, do your armswing with weights, this will increase muscle mass. you can also take a rubber resitance strip and attach it to a door, the work out the muscles used in your arm swing.

to keep your legs from chaffing together, cover them in hand lotion, it works, then when you are playing, keep your legs spread a little bit further.

if your shorts have a draw string, tie it, if not, you can sew a shoe lace in by sewing around the shoe lace, not through it, then it will act as a draw string. your shorts may also be to long, and may get caught on your knees, this will cause them to fall as well.

Answer 5

practice makes perfect!

Answer 6

The only real way to improve in volleyball is to spend the time needed to practice.

This can be done by yourself - for certain things.

All you need is one of those cheap practice volleyballs - which can take the punishment

on any surface outside. You do not use an expensive indoor volleyball outside -

the outer skin gets damaged easily and you wasted $80+

All you need is a volleyball and a wall, and you can do some serious practice.

Such as throwing up the volleyball and spiking it - exactly as for a set to do a spike.

Be sure that you are moving forward into your spike. You should be spiking at a decent

height, and then applying the correct down angle. You don't need the presence of a net,

as long as your height and angle seems to be correct.

Beginners don't have the coordination to do this - and only a lot of repetitive

practice, will give you the skills such that, when a decent set is there, you're ready

to spike it.

When you throw the ball up, you want it to be in the position of a 'set' so that you

can then spike it. Later on, you can vary the height - but first, you need standard

high sets, so that you can move towards it, and then spike it.

The spiking action is best done, with a bent elbow - which you straighten for your

spiking - this needs to be a fast action, with little use of your shoulder.

Some spikers do use their shoulder - but they'll regret it later, when their shoulder

gives out on them, causing them considerable pain.

With the elbow spike - you add the wrist action, upon contact with the ball. You add

the forward wrist action, which adds spin to the volleyball. This should stop your

spike from going out - and if you should hit the top of the net, the ball should spin

over (even against a block).

With such a spike - you can do spike serves. You don't need to toss the ball up, you

can just hold the ball up, and then spike it. Try hitting the top of the net, and

see if it will spin over? To see if your wrist action is working?

Setting is another thing you can practice. The technique of setting.

You can use the set technique to push the ball straight above your head, or against

a wall, to practice the fingering technique.

You can't practice digging (also called bumping) by yourself.  You do need someone

to help you - and the more the merrier.

You can also practice foot saves - which is to have light contact with your foot -

it is not like a soccer kick. Just so to get the ball up, from the floor level.

With someone to practice with - you can do the full - dig, set and spike techniques

together - spiking at each other. You do so, so that the other person can do a save,

and pass the ball back to you.

The only thing to be aware of - in practice you do saveable spikes, but during the

game you aim to be precise with your spiking, so that no one can save it.

That is the only downside with practice - you may get use to spiking towards a person,

whereas during a serious game you should be spiking between players, or towards the

line.

For a beginner - you are lacking in the basic volleyball handling skills used in

volleyball - dig, set and spike.



Watch beach volleyball anytime it is on TV, etc and see how they play - indoor volleyball is played exactly the same way... Copy their techniques...
