I'm trying out for the varsity squad as middle blocker/ outside hitter. My team will have two liberos, as with every year, PLUS defensive specialists. I'm a decent hitter (I place well, earning kills for roll-shots and tipping -- very useful in cases of a bad set, bad timing, off balance, etc) and a pretty good blocker (I'm 5'6'' but I reach around 8'6'' and I always make sure I penetrate the net), but I want to make sure my entire game is good. I have some good serves, and setting isn't a problem for me. I can pass freeballs well, but I don't always pass serves and hard hits well (sometimes I do it perfectly, and other times I'm just a joke). Any tips for consistency for digging at the varsity level? Tryouts begin tonight.
