I want to make the volleyball team????

Question

i hav never really played volleyball but i like it and i kno all the techniques and stuff but i hav really weak arms and i cant serve for anything and i get really scared wen i play b/c i think everybody is better than me wut can i do to be a better player and to have any chances in making the team

Answer 1

wow.. i feel the EXACT same way! depends what grade youre in, if youre trying out for a middle school team, don't be so worried. but if youre trying out for a high school team, it'll be harder to make it.

for your arms, i have weak arms too. just do some pushups/lift weights so youll feel better about your arms, but don't blame your serving on your 'weak' arms. its about arm speed + everything. and don't be scared! i was scared before, just stay focused on how YOU'RE playing. you can learn from the other players, so don't feel scared by them.

Answer 2

For your strength, which you need in every aspect of the game, go and lift some weights.  And for your serving, go out on your driveway, and you know those lines that look like tic tac toe boards?  Start at the one clsest to your garage, and serve the ball above the garage, which is average height of a net.  After you have ten in a row from the closest part, move back, and so on, when you get to the third or fourth line, i don't remember which one it is, that will be the one that you really serve from.  Also you might want to shut the garage door for this drill so you do not hit the cars in the garage.  And also, you can bump and set against the house too.  If you have three people, someone can throw the ball up, you can spike it against the wall, and someone in the back will catch it, because it will go off the house pretty har5d.  Wow that was long, hope it helps!
