Answer 3

wear somthing hot and s**y

Answer 4

it really is all dependent on the positions you play.

hitter- aka spiker needs to be able to move quickly while also having an above average vertical leap with strong shoulders and arms

setter - hardest position to train for in my opinion. you have to know proper form to set the ball effectively (pain the butt)

passer - bumper- be able to move quickly while having strong arms so that when someone spikes it you wont buckle under the force.

FOR ALL THESE POSITIONS YOU NEED STRONG LEGS

i suggest you talk to your coach and find out which position would be best for you. ALSO, WORK OUT AND RUN!

Answer 5

first of all you need to be in shape so this is wat my coach had us do (i copied and pasted):

right now i'm trying out for volleyball. our coach is working us really hard. but first of all... don't overwork your self. where i am its really hot. so if u start feeling sick take a break and drink little sips of water in the shade. right now we are practicing 2 hours 3x a week. so if it is hot try to do it in the early mornings when its cool.

we start by doing what he calls "active stretches." examples are bounds, lunges, karoke, side lunges, etc. make sure your taking enough breaks..... but don't drink too much water.

next we go into actual passing and sets and serves. if u can it would be easier to get a partner and practice throwing with your dominat arm and stepping with the opposite foot. you stretch your arm back like your going to swat a fly, bring your arm down (trying to aim the ball some what low so the person in ready postion is actually bending their legs and not just standing there), and follow through by bringing your arm behind you kind of cupped on the same side. you can practice serves and sets with parteners too having them gently throw or pass you the ball and for serves you should practice overhand. serve it to the other person whos in ready postion.

then we finish up by sprinting, bounding, and hopping with both feet together as far as we can. that way we can cool down somewhat. so its not just a complete stop.

also try to get help from others who played volleyball already and coachs because they no correct position. but just know your coach may want you to do it differently so be open to changes.

you also want to practice good position and find out the right techniques from your coach......... practice overhand serves... bumping........setting.......spiking....... get some and practice different game situations run over it thru ur head so ya..... thats all i can say
