  2. No worries, if you really are a volleyball hottie, you will make varsity no problem!  Afterall, that's what women's vball is all about.

  3. well make sure when you serve you don't step over the line and when you set don't accidenially do a lift and when you spike don't step over the line and if the sever serves a lot of the ball to the back row in between people do a 4-2 which is 4 people in the back and 2 in the front

  4. No matter how much you play, FIRST learning the basic skills and using the right forms, motion, and posture is most importanat. If you don't do this, you'll never reach your full potential. I know people who have been playing volleyball for decades but still suck because they never picked up the basic skills. Once you pick up bad moves and it becomes habitual, you're in deep trouble because it's very hard to lose them. Basically, you would always use wrong way to pass, set, and hit.

    Passing:

    1. Contact point - Put your hands and forearms together with both arms straight.

    You can use the whole forearms to pass but there's a sweet spot right above your wrists. Do not hit the ball with your wrists or fists.

    2. Posture - Bend your knees and keep your arms up making arms and thighs parallel and 90 degrees to your body. It's all about hand-eye coordination. When you keep your hands up they're closer to your eyes.

    3. Motion - Lean forward slightly standing on your forefoot when waiting for serves. This helps you react faster.

    Chase the ball, position yourself, get in to 'the posture,' wait for the ball, and let the ball hit your forearms and bounce off.

    Don't swing or jump at the ball. You should have the arms up and ready to pass before making the contact.

    Setting:

    Locate the ball, position yourself facing where you're setting not the ball, and place your hands above your head. Make a triangle with your hands without touching. See the ball through the triangle making your head, the triagle, and the ball in a straight line. Push up the ball extending your arms and legs. Most important - Hands should be up before you make the contact. Also, use all five fingers with thumbs being the most important. Don't just use the fingertips but the whole lengths of your fingers for better control.

    3. Hitting;

    When you swing your arms up to hit, place your elbow, bent about 90 degrees, above and behind your shoulder. The palm should also face away from your head. Swing and fully staighten your arm when making the contact with the ball.

    Best way to master the basic skills is to pepper and when you do this, always use the correct posture and full motion. Just pepper a lot whenever you get chance. Repetition makes perfection. Build the right techniqes into your body. Good Luck

  5. that guy at the top is a sexist pig.
