people were like.. a new eight grader? shes never played before?

haha i outplayed some of them annd played in EVRY game. :D

Answer 2

i started in the 6th you might be kinda behind

Answer 3

definitely

i will be going into my sophomore year in High School and it is good to start as early as you can, like me i started in 7th grade so you can be ready for it in the long run....like high school. Because in High School you have to try out for all sports not matter what and the coaches are looking for people with lots of experience with that particular sport. So yes start now before you get into High School. At the beginning of freshmen year when i tried out, yess i made the team but there were a lot of girls who didn't and it came down on them really hard. It was soo surprising that something so little can hit them so hard! They could not stop crying!!!

so yess start now

so you have a chance when it is a big deal, oh yeah and really keep your grades up because if you don't, you probably will not have a chance of staying on the team and it is also good to keep your grades up so the coaches see that you care and   that you are responsible for both school and play

good luck!<3

Answer 4

YEAH i didn't actually start playing volleyball untill the end of 8th grade. Do camps and once you get better join a club team so you ca ndo tournaments and have colleges look at you.

Answer 5

Definatly. I'm going to be in eighth grade this year.  Even though I've been playing since 5th grade you can and should.

It is so fun. You make so many memories. I had a ton of fun and I'm sure you will too. Also my cousin couldn't play  last year because she broke her leg in two places. She's trying out this year. Good Luck!

Answer 6

it is definitely ok...but if u want to play i would reccommend to start this year cuz there isnt as much stress as there is in high school....cuz i arent really playing for anything...just mostly for fun so u can learn and get better.....well i hope u play cuz i know u will love it....cuz i have played for three years already and it is just the best...and u will be fine cuz i have a friend that started in 8th grade as well and she is pretty good...well have fun!

Answer 7

duh! its never too late to start a sport.

good luck and have fun !!! :)

Answer 8

Yea u can.

Answer 9

its totally okay!

im going to be a freshman this coming year, and i started playing in 7th grade! its a year earlier, but still, theres not a huge difference!

you should totally go for it; its one of the most active yet fun and exciting games out there! well in my opinion, of course :]

so just go out there and show everyone whacha got!

Answer 10

yup. as long as ur good then u should b ok.

Answer 11

yes it's ok bcause i started when i was in 5th grade.    DUH!

Answer 12

Yeah! I started 8th grade! I was convinced it was too late but I ended up making the team when 15 other girls were cut! We also had a girl on my JV team who never played before but she helped front row. 8th grade it young so GO FOR IT!

Answer 13

Sure, its definately not too late! Good Luck! :]

Answer 14

It is totally okay!!! I think you should go for it! Volleyball is really fun, and in middle school it's not usually stressed so much like in high school, which means it can be more of a fun thing, rather than total competition. Also, 8th grade is your last year before going into high school, which is a time when you probably don't want to try out for a sport your first time, because it's more serious. This way, joining volleyball in 8th grade will give you experience for h.s.  Plus, volleyball is really fun to learn, and not stressful at all!

Well, I hope you go for it, and good luck!!!

p.s. I had a friend who started vball in 8th grade, and she learned a ton and had a great time, and now she is considering playing for h.s.

Answer 15

It's definitely okay. My friend did and she made JV the next year.

Answer 16

its ok just make sure u practice practice practice because when i was first starting volleyball i dint practice and i made a bad team and in the middle of the season i was really bored because every1 on my team was just getting used to bumping and i was allready spiking so make sure u practice.

and i stared volleyball in 3rd grade.

Answer 17

definatly!!!! most people start playing at the end of 6th grade (if they join a club team) or in 7th, so you're not too far behind! If you really want to play in high school I would suggest joining a club travel team.  This is a great way to play and learn the game!

GOOD LUCK!!! Volleyball is the best sport out there!!!!
