Nervous about high school volleyball tryouts?!?

Question

Okay, so I've been practicing a lot.

I didn't know all the rules, but I've been learning.

What are some of the most used passes?

What should I bring to tryouts?

What should I wear? & should I wear it there?

My friend said I shouldn't & that I should bring it & just change, but she's going to a diff high school & might not know what she's talking about.

I think it makes more sense to just wear gym clothes there if we're going to be trying out all day.

tryouts are from 7:45am - 2pm (IF I make it) I think they say whose made it around 11 & then I would just go home & not stay ;(.

I'll be so embarrassed if I don't make it:(

Does anyone know what they normally do at tryouts?

Is it really hard to make a volleyball team?

I'm probably an average player for JUST starting, so that probably means that I'll definitely get better over time..

Answer 1

The most common pass is the bump pass. That's using your forearms to pass the ball. If the ball is too high to bump pass, set it using your hands above your head.

Bring a water bottle, knee pads, volleyball shoes, and whatever else you may need. If the tryouts are as long as you say they are, bring snacks.

Wear spandex and a bright colored shirt. Wear it to try outs, don't change there.

You'll probably do some conditioning first, like sprints or push ups. Then you might do hitting lines, butterfly, serving, 4 man dig, and maybe some scrimmages. Just try your hardest. Good luck.

Answer 2

most people are probably in the same boat as you. just remember its not the end of the world if you dont make it.  

try to find a rec league to play/learn in and then try again next year

Answer 3

sorry but idk anything abut volleyball but I think it makes more since just to wear your gym clothes there. Just try to stay clam and do your best and things should go fine

      Good Luck hope you make the team!
