Answer 1

I play volleyball also, except that I'm in high school.

So here are some things that I work on to help me get some more playing time:

I practice jumping so that I can jump higher. Increase vertical jump.

Jumping higher will help you with blocks which will help a lot.

Learn how to pass well even though you are middle hitter. Setting is a nice skill to learn too, just in case you'd ever have to pass the ball because it's short.

Answer 2

work out ur arms wit mini weights, pravtice wit a family member!!

Answer 3

You "made" the team at the Y? Like the YMCA? Um..you don't make the team there honey, you pay to play. O.o

Anyways, keep practicing, work on hitting and your approach, your serving a lot, passing and footwork, and a little setting. Also a lot of blocking. So keep yourself conditioned.
