Answer 2

Well... im on the high school team this year. One main thing i know you will want to know is that, make sure you are GOOD at passing! coaches will always want someone that is a good passer. In practice everyday we do so much passing. if you arnt good at passing, i would highly recommend practicing on that :)

Answer 8

The best way to start is to practice bumping and setting. If you can get your hands on the ball go for it! Just try to make sure you don't pick up bad habits when you train yourself. I also know coaches look for loud aggressive girls. When they ball comes over you need to make sure you talk. Good Luck I hope you make it!

Answer 9

my coach is really strictedheres my advice. STAY DOWN!!!!! keep your knees bents and stay on your toes run and dive for eveythingthe only way u willmake it is if you be aggressive. if they see really good potetial theyll put u on the team. sacrafice you body for the ball. volleyball is a sport of bruises and injuries the ball is the most important thing. and no, wen u seve, if it doesnt go over then they get a point and the serve you cant pushe it over lol ive tried. i have gotten really good in the last year. thats cuz i finally said kick the 5hit im gonna win! you just have to finally say im a winner and try hard

Answer 10

Hey...trust me I have been in the same boat... first things first is to PURCHASE a volleyball. Then start practicing passing outside, inside, wherever you can find a spot. If you are having problems with technique, there are some GREAT sights that can help you with just about anything, just search on google. Unfortunately, for hitting and serving it just takes practice, endless repetition, in a gym with a net. But ultimately, the more hours you put in, the more you will get out in the long run. Even if you aren't the BEST at tryouts, there is a possibility that the coach will take you if you are enthused about playing and are eager to learn. You might also want to talk to the coach and tell him about your inexperience and mention that you REAlLY REALLY WANT TO PLAY and he will most likely surely ablige.  Good luck! =] =]

Answer 11

well if you work at it and try really hard and goo for EVERY BALL (diving) you might make the team but if you've never really played i would

go to camp becasue it helps A LOT . and get together with some of the

girls on the varsity team or jv and train with them :D

Answer 12

You could try practicing volleyball, that would be a start. Its a game that requires teamwork and the ability to hit a ball over a net. Kind of simple but requires some practice.

Answer 13

take private lessons, if u dont know how to play and u 'ucked' than you will need all the help you can get, also you can look online for video demonstrations!
