Question

volleyball tryout cumming up any advice? what should i work on? what do i need to know? really nervous i don't know anything about volleyball

Answer 1

Ok I'm in the middle of my volleyball tryouts.  But we have 2 a days so in the morning we do a lot of conditioning and the second one we do volleyball stuff.  If you don't know how to over hand serve i would definitely work on that.  I don't know how old you are so i can't say if under hand would probably be ok or not.  

The first day after the mile we did stations which were jump rope, push up, wall sits, blecher jumps, and running stairs for a mintue then 45 seconds and the 30.  Then we did jump training. For the actual volleyball stuff we worked on ball control, sspiking setting, and sserving  And each day we have done basically the same thing.  I'm trying out for high school volleyball so depending your grade they might not be so intense.  

My ccoach'slook for a player that no matter how tired they are the still push themselves and give 100%  So if your coach has told you to do something listen and do it correctly no matter how tired you are.  The harder you work the better you get. The better you get the more the coach notices. The more the coach notices the more chance you have to make the team.  

I would read up on volleyball weather its on a website or rresoledquestions.  And most importantly try to have fun!

Answer 2

I just had my first day of volleyball tryouts yesterday. What we did were sprints, and then lunges across the gym. We did some jogging and then some skipping (but you had to skip extra-high and swing your arms). We also worked on a couple of the basic skills without a net, although today we'll be working on the nets. They had a problem with the nets yesterday. We also worked on our stomach muscles, the stomach part is where everyone had the most trouble on so I would work on doing sit-ups and crunches.

I would suggest reading up on volleyball from some of the resolved questions in this section. I did that and I was in my opinion, well prepared for the first day.

I know that a lot of people tell you to listen to your coach. I recommend it. Yesterday we were doing a stretch and a lot of girls did something different because they were too tired. Don't do something different. If you're really tired do the stretch slowly. Do your best and show the coach that you have what it takes.

Additionally, if you know anybody on the team you may want to ask them for information. I knew a varsity player on the team and I was able to ask her for information on what to bring and what to expect. I found it helpful.

Hope that helps! Good luck!

Most coaches look for aggressive players and players with good serves. Keep running for the ball and call your ball too. Also saying mine or got it is good! Try your hardest and you will do fine.

Answer 4

since you ar a beginner, the best advice i can give to you is listen to the coach and follow everything (s)he says. coaches look for players with heart, and ability/eagerness to learn and try new things. work as hard as you can, no matter how hard it is.

best wishes!

Answer 5

I would bet that anyone who can pass well will make the team. In my eyes passing is the most important part of the game... a few pointers... Hmm Shrug your shoulders before you pass the ball (like the body language of saying "I don't know"). Do not swing your arms. Use your body to direct the ball. Point the underside (not the bone side ) out (the left arm points out to the left and right side right)  this helps keep a level platform (platform is the sopt on the arm above the wrist where the ball will hit.)
