Libero wanting helpppp

Question

hey i play volleyball for my high school and i have a chance of making varsity as a sophmore. i am defensive specialist, 5'3" and i was wondering if anyone had any last minute tips on what i should be doing to prepare for tryouts in 2weeks

Answer 1

Well, I am a setter for a pretty good club team and what setters like best is a libero who will go for every ball. Even if you can't get there in time, it shows you were willing to try. Coaches like players who will go for everything. Practice serve-receive too, it's one of every teams main weaknesses.

Answer 2

I'm the libero on the varsity team at my high school. From experience, I know that my coach likes all around players. She wouldn't put someone on the team just because they're good at one thing. To get ready just practice, practice, practice. Make sure you can set, spike, pass, and most definitely SERVE. Teams always need good servers. Just get together with some friends and work on these things. But since you are a libero, make sure you have passing down pat. Show off in that area and you'll really stand out. I'm sure you'll do great! Goodluck!!

Answer 3

Hey I'm a sophmore & I'll probably be playing libero too.As a libero, you should practice digging spiked balls & hitting from the back row.During tryouts you will probably have to do what everyone else does like hitting from outside, middle, and weak from the front row too.

I would just get together with some friends & play together or practice on hitting or passing if you don't have enough to actually play a game.Practice all the positions not just being libero so you will be ready for tryouts.You could also do some running.During my tryouts I had to run a 400 meter.

Good luck & have fun =]

Answer 4

If you have friends that are good hitters, call them and hit the gym.  let them hit and serve at you.  That way, all of you are getting practice in.  Also, you are practicing playing as a team, which really helps when it comes to tryouts.  Good luck!  :D
