What does it take to be on a highschool volleyball team?

Question

i usually play back row but i want to play up front so what do i need to practice!!?

Answer 1

I am front row middle. So you would need to keep up the cardio that you're already doing, practice hitting a volleyball on the wall ( don't forget to reach high lol), and use ankle weights when doing your approach and blocking :]

Good Luck

Answer 2

you needa be a really good hitter and work on blocking, and spiking. if you're a good setter then you could be in the front too. so definately work on your spikes, sets, and blocks.

Answer 3

front row is usually were good hitters are so you should become a good hitter.  Aslo blocking is also a must to be able to play in the front row... i play volleyball and front row is a lot more fun then back row but i also love hitting.

Answer 4

It takes a serious talk with your coach.

Tell him/her that you want to try front row and you will put in extra time during practice, and at home. He/she should tell what you need to do, and get you some front row minutes during practice, and even in real games.

Answer 5

You need to be a really good blocker so practice your transitioning and jumping. The taller u are the better. You also have to be a really good hitter so work on your approach and jumping and swinging. Also passing, even though u may get more passes back row, u still have to be ready for front row. Just practice alot extra like at home. Go to like a hitters or blockers camp, it'll help u. Talk to your coach too. :)

Answer 6

Practice your hitting, blocking, and being able to retrive the ball out of the net, TRUST ME!! i am going to be a sopomore and my freshman year i played evey postion [my coach coulden't make up her mind] and now i am going to play front row.....if you have played before you probably know some blocking and hitting drills so just find something makeshift to a volleyball net at home and go for it, give it your all and NEVER give up.

best of luck.

Answer 7

Hitting and blocking.

Work your jump (jump training, weight training, technique)

Work your timing; a shorter player who always hits the ball at the top of her jump can be more effective than a taller player who mis-times her approach.

Work your control; move your hits all over the opposing court.  Watch the block and learn to hit around or roll/tim over.  Learn different swings for good sets/bad sets (flat or topspin, offspeed, etc.

If you are always putting an aggressive ball into your opponents court, with few mistakes, your coach will consider you for a front row spot.
