Answer 1

You have to ignore these idiots and learn not to care what other people think of you. Do your own thing and act how you want to act, some people will like it, some people won't, but they all will respect it. Good luck.

Answer 2

Im in the same place its my 2nd year doin v-ball and at practice im not very good and ppl tease me but at games i really shine! and ppl jsut cheer.

join with a friend that everyone likes. shell stand up for you

but when you do get on the team which you will. and ppl see how good you play they will stop and stand to like you

Answer 3

Ignore the preppy girls, be yourself and go have fun.

Answer 4

Join and show how good you are. Try aiming your strike to who ever bothers you the most and make her bleed like Ben stiller in Meet the Parents.

Then they will all respect you. For ever.

Answer 5

no such thing as being shy...usually has to do with low self esteem.

Answer 6

be the best player on the team; then no one will be able to criticize or make fun of you.

Answer 7

Last year I didn't like to be loud but then I realized that if you want the girls,other teams, and coaches to notice you you have to be aggressive and loud and go after what you want and show them you are the best at what you do. If the girls are preppy so what if you want to be the spirit of the team then do it and don't think about what they think because they will come around after while and say that girl can play let me stop picking on her and play with her. Just be louder and more aggressive and you determine what your future is not others.Anyway this year I am HEAD CAPTAIN because I determined what I do. Good Luck! Let Me Know How It Goes If You Want!

Answer 8

ignore them and have fun! if ur as good as u say u are then u should have a good self esteem and they shouldnt bother u!

Answer 9

just be yourself and be at least a little extroverted. trust me i was that kid, and it worked out great. like all my bball teammates are bffs!

Answer 10

as much ribbing as they give, just come back with a better one. when they realize they cant get to u, more than likely they'll lay off. most people who do this is either just as insecure and handle their selves this way while u handle it by being shy and timid. so giving back what they give may break the ice....and who knows what kind of friendships will be made..........

Answer 11

you should be confident.. you know u are good and so show it to them.. a team is always divided into groups as friends, so why not join the good ones? avoid falling down or making mistakes while playing so that theyll have no reasons to laugh at you.. tell your coach whats happening in the team.. a team needs teamwork and if one laughs at the other, its not teamwork.. =)

Answer 12

be your self and join the crowd. feel free about yourself and get involved in what you are doing. have fun and forget who is around you. I was shy in school and hung out with the ones that were shy. and I was in volleyball and was good at it and when they saw I was good at the sport I made more friends. I was still shy and still never got made fun of. good luck and you will do fine. best of wishes and let me know how it goes...... :)

Answer 13

Shy or not shy, you look like a fun person to me.  If I were "preppy", I'd like you.

Answer 14

s***w them and show them ur better and become the star of the team  ^__^

Answer 15

ignore the preppy girls...they probably arent too good of players anyway...just be yourself around them and sooner or later your team will turn out to be like a second family!

Answer 16

here's something that i wish i knew in high school,  those preppy kids are going to fail in life and so it doesn't matter what they say because their opinions are generally wrong or stupid.

also the less you care about your shyness,  the less they'll tease you for it. and if anyone gives you s.hit,  you hand it right back to them.  if you're a good player though you probably won't have anything to worry about so just relax and try to have a good time.

Answer 17

Confidence! Once you go in there and contribute it's unlikely they will be picking on you (especially if your better than them :-)   Good luck.

Answer 18

If you are a good player, sooner or later they will come around and accept you.  A little ribbing is alright.  Maybe they want to see if you fit in.  If the ribbing goes overboard then you need to stand up and tell them to shut up and play.
