I'm 4"8" do you think i could make my high school JV volleyball team??

Question

im really short but im so appsest with the volleyball team i really want to make it do you think i got a chance?

Answer 1

of course i just started volleyball this year and I am short to only 5 feet which is short//medium tall lol but prove them iv girls wrong just do it good luck sweetie

Answer 2

Size only really matters in the front row.  If your quick and accurate, you could be a good libero (only defense).  If that's not what you want to do, then I suggest try out for setting  unless you're really good and can jump super high.

No matter what give it your all.  That hasn't failed me once.

Answer 3

Depends on the position and how good you are and the others on the team .... But, you'll never know unless you try so go out and give it all you've got and who knows you might just make it...

Answer 4

size does matter if you are a front row attacker/blocker.

however, in order to make JV on the backline you must be faster and have the quicker reflexes that the others trying out.

For JV, make sure you can serve overhanded and your defense must be incredible.

Answer 5

yes just be a setter or hitter not a middle blocker.

Answer 6

hope you're really good.

because being tall helps alot in volleyball.

but yeah, you can make it.

Answer 7

of course but if u want to be in front row thats is highly unlikely unless u can get a full block but if u cant just stay in back row and show the coach what u can do! Good Luck

Answer 8

of course. in back row size doesnt matter. just be quick and agressive.

Answer 9

Of course! Size doesn't matter in Volleyball. Skill is what matters. If you can play good, then yeahh definatly! You may have problems spiking, but you can work on that. Plus, your coach wont be too worried about it, there will be others who can. Best of Luck!

Answer 10

go for it! obviously you wont be hitting front row but im sure youd make a very good libero.

Answer 11

I think so. You see, I'm 4'8" too, but I have a broken leg and that still doesn't stop me for playing volley ball.

Answer 12

libero might be the best position for you

Answer 13

Perhaps. Just be REALLY aggressive and show you can jump high and can dive in for hits.

Answer 14

Yes you could definatley make the team. Size does not matter. If you try your best and practice really hard you will be very good. I was 4"81/2 in highschool and everybody thought that i wouldnt make the team. But i worked hard and put alot of effort into my work and i made it.Good Luck

Answer 15

it depends on how good u r @ volleyball if u r great that yeah but if u r bad than no

Answer 16

Don't expect to have too much affect in the front row. As long as you are willing to dive on the floor and dig balls you can make the team as a defensive specialist. Those 6 ft tall girls aren't too good at being quick and diving to the floor.

Another option is to play the setter position. This is like the quarterback of a volleyball team.

Answer 17

definitely, you could be a setter or a libero.

Answer 18

Dude, you could be a killer back row player. JUST DO IT!!! (my moto) If you do it with out giving up you shall succeed. It will all be good. Do your best and have fun doing it.

GOOD LUCK!!! AND remeber..Size dont mean a thing if you got skill.

Answer 19

you do have a chance on making the volleyball team.you would make a great middle back defensive player. that is what i was. that player usually gets the first ball over the net, and mostly covers the whole backside of the court.

Answer 20

yeeeeeeesiree! dun worry about height because there aren't 6 blockers! you can play any position as long as you love the sport!

Answer 21

You dont have to be tall to play volleyball.  Depends on high you jump and how quick you are on your feet. Thats all skill.  If your not a good hitter, try back row. Height doesn't matter back there. I'm obsessed  and im around 5'7. In the world of volleyball, im not considered tall at all. Keep working it though.

Answer 22

You Have TONNES of chane. i am in year 8 and in 4 foot 8 but im kinda younger then you. Go ask the person who picks the teams if they are asking for a a libero possesion. libero is a special position in the back court. you can swap with anyone to come in on the back court. but you cant serve or jump over the height of the net. the libero is generally short so they cant get the low balls. libero is like the back court caiptain. my team silver in australian nationals.and i am a badged qualified District refferee .

Answer 23

Absolutely, if you have the skills needed you could even be better than the tall girls because you could be quicker. We have a short girl on our Varsity squad and she's one of the best. If you don't make it - it's not because of your height!

Answer 24

sure why not but put a lot of spin on the ball and try to be a setter.

setters dont have to spike

Answer 25

yea sure why not! u can be a "librio" and become the teams defensive specialist! playing back-row

Answer 26

If you are a good defensive player, you will not only be needed, but wanted. The best position for you would be Libero. I'm not 100% sure if all high-schools have Libero's. They are slowly but surely being added into high-school volleyball; my old highschool's conference added the rule last year. If you wish to do more though, DS might be your spot, as DS players can still attack, as long as they're behind the 10 line. It's really up to you, but if you're shorter, those would be the positions that would be easiest for you to pick up/excel at.

Answer 27

Hey look Im 4"4" Im in 5th grade  People make fun of me because Im the 2nd  shortest  in my class I dont listen!!If you like playing volleyball and you know how to play it Im super sure you'll make it!!!!!!!Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 28

definatly size doesn't matter in volleyball!

just do it!!! ;]

Answer 29

i was 4'9  when i played volleyball i didnt think i would make the team either, but now im front left spiker for my team, and when you're short its easier to jump up and spike a ball in somones face and it freaks them out too bcz they dont expect it!

good luck!!!

Answer 30

as long as you have skill, size does not mean a thing.  you will probably be an awesome defensive specialist (back row) and its pretty fun diving for balls (my friends and i would have competitions to see who could get the most floor burn on our knees b/c we're crazy like that).  as long as you set your mind to it you can do anything.  good luck!

Answer 31

well they could use you for the dig part of the game, but i don't know if they would. you just got to give your best and show them what you got for them to use.
