Thanks and last question, do we actually have any chance if they all play volleyball??

Answer 1

Let me give you some advice bro... it's NOT as easy as it looks.

First off... 3 hit volleyball is a must. By that, I mean you need to have 3 people touch the ball before it goes over.

example:

ball goes over net

one guy bumps the ball to a setter who is usually right under the net in almost in the middle of the court.

the setter sets up the ball to one of the 3 people in the front who play left (strong) middle and right (weak)

if these girls are good...they will probably cream you. Seeing as you are 5'6..i am assuming you are in highschool so your not that tall at all.

goodluck

ps: always use 2 hands unless spiking :)

best for you newbies to not try spiking, just get the ball over the net lol

Answer 2

Hey, Varsity captain two years in a row speaking here.  uhm.  Hit it once per person.  You can only hit it three times on one side of the net, it needs to go over on the third hit.  Then keep your hands together to bump, (hand in hand, no lacing, or crossing thumbs.)  If you can spike, do it on the third hit.  If someone spikes the ball on your side, you can put both your hands up, right next to the net and block it, and if you touch it, and it still comes over to your side it doesn't count as a hit.  uhmmmm..... Call it if your gonna get it!!!  IF not you'll have a lot of Hurt heads.... GOOD luck!!!  If you have anymore questions, just ask.  ([e-mail]).   Hope I Helped.  Kick Butt!
