I'm pretty bad at volleyball but I still want to try out for the team, should I risk it?

Question

Well, I know I'll probably be embarassed because I can't "bump" or anything but I really want to try out! I'm in the eigth grade and I think I should join a sports team, it'll be a change from my regular preppy self!

Answer 1

If you try it and you don't make it that would be sad but aleast you tried to do something that maybe someone eles can't !!!!!!  

Or maybe try a differnt team like Swimming, basketball, or anything else you like.

Answer 2

You're young enough that if you get serious about volleyball, get someone for one on one training/coaching and at least practice a couple hours a day, you will probably be the best volleyball player at your school in the next year. You should still try out so that you know what to expect everytime you try out.

Answer 3

the worst thing they can say is "no" right?

so why be embarrassed? do the best you can and practice for HS..8th grade is no biggie...if you practice now and learn the basics..maybe you make the freshman team in High school..that is when it matters anyway,,try practicing with the girls who DO make it..that way they can teach you..

Answer 4

Go for It !!! what do you have to lose, and hey you might get in. I didnt get in my school tryouts but people quit and i came in, and i am now one of the key players on the team being the setter.

Answer 5

no you do not want to embarassed your self

Answer 6

go for it, you never know if u dont try

Answer 7

There's nothing to lose, and you'll only get better in time! Go for it :)

Answer 8

babe,  i think you should atleast love the game to play the game, if you love the sport then just practice and show them what you got, volleyball is easy,  if your vertical jump is not high enough to do a spike, you can just play as receiver, or a setter, it all takes a practice to be good.  hope id help

Answer 9

ya!!!!!!!! totally....wat do u have to lose??? i mean you already know you probably wont be the best one there, so dont set ur hopes do high...but do have confidence! volleyball is my life...i love it! youll get better

Answer 10

Answer 11

what's there to lose? and if you don't try out you'll never know. (and if you do join you'll get better. you're only in the eighth grade now... so yeah, go for it!)

Answer 12

definnently try out! your gonna regret it if u dont

Answer 13

yes! and here's why. even if your not that great, always give it your best shot. you may be a bad defense player, but a great server. you never know, and you should always try out for your dream and risk it. forget what the other girls said. you should definitely try out, and hey, if you don't make it, ask the coach what i did wrong and work on it!! never give up something that you love! I've been playing for 6 years and i was TERRIBLE!!!! now I'm on the varsity volleyball team at my high school, and I'm only a freshman!!! i know, weird! lol!, but always try fr the things you love and never be a quitter!!! i hope i helped and gave you enough confidence!!!!GO 4 IT!!

Answer 14

well you should first take a practice, and if you find you really like it and your good at it, try out for the team!

Answer 15

you have noting to lose plus you can get fit i say why not you can work to get better ♥
