Volleyball tryouts for MAVS?

Question

okk so i'm good at serving and hitting, but that is pretty much it and there are tryouts for 13 years and youngers for MAVS are Nov 3. I haven't played for any club teams and i've only played on the school team, so is there any chance that i would make a team?

Answer 1

there is always a chance that you can make the team. ods are that if you have a really good serve and you are a solid hitter that you will be albe to make the team becasue they will jsut let youplay front row and they will lib you out for the back row. but ods are they will teach you how to pass.

Answer 2

There is always a chance you will make the team.  At 13, the main things they look at are serving, passing, setting, hitting and attitude.  

Here are some other things that might help.

Call every ball LOUDLY.

Hustle all the time.  When others are walking, you should be running.  For example in the hitting line, most players hit the ball and walk after it and walk back to the back of the line.  You should run after the ball and run to the back of the line.  For two reasons.  One is that it shows that you hustle.  And you get more hits than anyone else.  

NEVER say anything negative while you are the tryouts.  You never know who is listening.  

If the coach corrects you, your answer is "thank you, I will work on that" and mean it.

If you are struggling with something and the coach is nearby, ask for a pointer.  And if they help you, your answer is the same as above.  

Do not show up on time for the tryouts.  Show up early.  If you show up just on time for something as important as the tryouts, the coaches will worry that you will show up late for something like practices.

Have FUN and relax.  

Good luck.
