Important volleyball question....?

Question

I think i wanna join the volleyball team at my school and i am in 10th grade. Now i really enjoy the sport and i used to be pretty good at it but i haven't played in awhile. I would try out for the team but im not sure if i'll be any good at it and i dont wanna embarrass myself. Any suggestions??

Answer 1

you are just like me!!! i am going to try out for my school team this year too.  you should practice now as much as you can and dont give up on it.  good luck!!!!

Answer 2

Please don't miss an opportunity out of fear of being embarrassed. If you really want to play, then go out there, act confident, and play. Ok, so maybe you are not that great at tryouts and don't make the team....but you TRIED. Maybe you don't try out and later think that you totally could have made the team....then what?? You regret it. But maybe you go to try outs and kick butt! How awesome would that be?! I ended up not trying out for my team this year, but because I didn't want to be so dedicated to the sport anymore. And I was worried that maybe I should have taken the opportunity, but at the same time, I didn't WANT to make the team. It sounds like you DO want to make the team, so there should be nothing holding you back from giving it your best shot. Also, as cliche as it is, I bet that at least 50%, if not more, of the girls that are trying out are worried they will embarrass themselves. That might not make you feel better, but its probably true. So if you really want to play, then don't let fear keep you from doing what you want. If you have some time before tryouts, grab a ball and pass to yourself, hit it a few times, just get in the "volleyball mode". Good Luck!! You will do great!!

Answer 3

well if you haven't played for a while, you may start off a little rusty....but my suggestion is to practice practice practice....you'll start to regain knowledge as you go along.... don't worry about emberassing yourself at tryouts....all you can do is your best...coaches aren't expecting perfection...they just want girls who are coachable and enthusiastic...

try out ! you never know...if you decided not to you may regret it later.

good luck!

Answer 6

just practice, practice, practice!

for my tryouts, we had to know how to:

do simple passing (short and long)

communicate with our team members

do blocking drills (jumping up and down as high as you can)

spike the ball while its being thrown up on the air

serve the ball overhand (short and long)

hope this helps!

Just try, if you don't, then you might regret it.
