Should I join volleyball?

Question

I am a kind of tall, a great server, and a high jumper, but I'm new to the sport and have never played on a team. Should a join and those who play volleyball what are some qualities that make it easier to play the sport?

Thanks

Answer 1

I'm also very new to volleyball. Last week I went to my school's try-outs and made the first cut. Out of 50 girls, only 35 got to stay...And I've never played volleyball in my life, but you know what? I'm 5"8", have big hands (i hear they're good for setting), and did high jump on my school's track and field team. I tried that out with no experience as well.

Some good qualities are being over the average height, being able to move quickly, and always always always having a good attitude and commitment for the sport.

If you find out later that you don't like volleyball (as I might, but who knows) then it's ok. Just do not commit to something you know you don't want to do.

Answer 2

YES i doesnt matter how tall you are!!!

Answer 3

Well, you will never know until you try.

I had never played the game of volleyball before my sophomore year of high school.  I am tall, I can jump, and I have always been very athletic.  But volleyball had been a foreign game for me.  I tried out, and made the Varsity team half way through my first season.  I was all conference my junior and senior years, got a full scholarship to a large college, where I made some pretty good honors.  

I always look at my photos and awards at my mom and dad's house and think, "If I hadn't listened to my best friend begging me to go and try out with her. . ."

Go for it.  The worst thing that could happen is that the game isn't for you.  But I think you will find that you may like it, and you may be pretty darn good at it, too.  But unless you go out for it, you will never know.

Answer 6

Definitely!!! Volleyball rocks it is so fun!! If you enjoy it and are tall and a great serve then why not? I'm sure you will do great job. Just practice the basics bump set spike digging. Especially spiking since your tall

Answer 7

yes join! and height does matter! you need to be tall, like 5'11.....the game of volleyball is so much fun!

Answer 8

Volleyball is one of my favorite sports. It is tons of fun. If you are tall, that gives you a huge advantage to the other girls believe me. I am really short and it is hard to spike it over the net. Some other qualities are you have to be patient. Sometimes your team will do bad. It is defenitly a team sport. Just practice and play as often as you can. Have fun. Volleyball is one of the funnest sports out there. Join it and try and if you don't like it, dont do it next year.

Answer 9

ok it depends on wich volleyball team u r planning or entering like high school college or elementary for elementary the playing is kinda of not intense pretty easy and basic if u r in this grade u could be pretty average since your good at serving and tall u could be average but a proven fact if that when some body spikes it like say u the oponents who u r facing the spike will always put pressure on htem so that would enhance your moment of winning. High school it will get very intense and the spiking increases each spike u must get the ball at all times if u dont then it will give them chances of winning so be carefull. Collage this is one of the toughest when they test u they are only looking for the experinced and tall it basically is 3 times harder than highschool volleyball so if u r in collage i suggest to do not try out for collage volleyball

Answer 10

yes ! when i started out i did not like it but when i went to my first pratice i ended up loving it and now im a starter in every game i rarly ever get taken out and im soo much better and now im going to coach a team! well for the qualities i would say have fun!! and always practice out side of practice and if your board or have a friend pass you the ball out in the yard and also make sure you have a good coach. good luck and Have fun!!!!

Answer 11

I think you should give the sport a chance. I started volleyball kind-of late, but I caught up really quickly, and now, I'm one of the best players on the team. Maybe this will happen to you!

Answer 12

Go for it!  Height doesn't really matter.

Answer 13

Go for it.  You do not want to look back at your life when you are older and wish you had tried something.  If you try it and like it, great.  If you try it and do not like it, that is also great.  

I love volleyball, but it was never my first choice until later in my life.  I lettered in 3 sports in high school and 3 different sports in college.  And then I picked a different sport, volleyball.

Answer 14

I think you should take volleyball classes before you join an actual team! it will give you some practice before you are ready to play a game! it doesn't matter how tall you are, as long as you've got some skill! I know people who are really short and they are really good at volleyball!

Answer 15

of course its soo much fun!

Answer 16

Sure, I play & it's pretty easy.

Answer 17

I love volleyball! I think u should at least try it. if u dont like it then oh well. It might be kinda hard to get everything down right away so dont give up to soon, if u dont like it

Answer 18

should or should not is not the matter, the matter is whether u want to or not..it's not that hard girl..

Answer 19

I say yes. You are very much like me and I have been playing volleyball for 5 years. I would start small like the YMCA or a class on volleyball.Some great qualities are to be aggressive, a team player, and that you always find ways to improve.

Good luck

P.S. coaches LOVES a high jump and a great serve keep at it!

P.P.S try it with friends!

Answer 20

of course !! i believe in u ! good luck!    

                      but first of all do you believe in yourselve??

Answer 21

volleyball is an awesome sport if you think that you would have a lot of fun doing it then i think you should, especially if your tall and can serve. hope you make w/e decision you want :) have funn if you do it

Answer 22

Absolutely! I have been playing for almost six or seven years now. I enjoy the game of volleyball. Nothing will ever stop that either! When you try it, you'll have a good time. It's all about teamwork.

If you have a few people that you don't like, once you hit the court, you guys start playing like you're best friends.

I hope you join!! I always have a blast!!!!!

Answer 23

Definetly. It's a great sport, tons of fun, and even if you don't have a lot of experience, if you're a great server and a high jumper, you will do great!

Answer 24

I think you should go for it, but if you are not sure about playing on a team, you could go to some volleyball camps over the summer

Answer 25

absolutly you should play if you have the passion and enjoy the game do what you want.

PLEASE NOTE: i am 5'6'' and i made J.V. volleyball as a freshmen so dont let height stop you from playin

Answer 26

I play volleyball it is so fun. But if you want to play then do what u like. But it sounds like you could be a starting line up if u joined and got good. =] But if you are interested in volleyball don't be afraid to try =]...And for volleyball all you need is determination and be high spirited. Also never give up. Even when you points behind its still your game...but all move your feet and stay alert and pay attention to those on the court.

Answer 27

Sure it's a great game to play

Answer 28

hey it's worth a shot!! if you want to i'm 5'7" and a right,and outside hitter. but if only if you want to. what i think you should do is train with your friend and go to a volleyball summer camp to learn the basics!! know what do when on and off the court try to impress the coach your trying out for most times they are looking for effort!!  just try to get in shape!! our team runs a lot in practice so that when a game comes we are in shape!!  just have fun!!! most important thing

Answer 29

Wow you really should. If your at all interested in the sport, you should definately do it. When i started, i wasnt sure if i wanted to do it or soccer [which i had played before]. but now volleyball is my favorite sport and idk what i would do without it. So just try it. If you like it, yay! if not, then no harm done =]

Answer 30

Go for it gurl

Answer 31

If you want to, than do it
