*To whoever may be reading this Bro, don't worry, you got this. You have prepped for this. These gals ain't going nothing on you. You will make it. If you don't, don't take it to the heart, don't dawn upon it. You just need that extra push to propell you forward. It's not a bad thing. Next time you tryout, you will get in. Idk why I did this I saw people worrying in the comments so...anyways I don't know how this works we don't have volleyball here in the UK (well we do but like not in schools. As in not like America has it)
Thank you so much. Try outs is next month and i barely started playing 2 weeks ago. Im practicing everyday for 3-4 hours. Its hard but i know that whoever is trying out, will get through this!
I’m a freshman and I just had tryouts and I made the team I was really happy so a little advice for the ones who have tryouts coming soon just be ready to be flexible and being able to move around. If you are playing a quick 6on 6 game and the ball is coming for you or near you and you want to go for the ball make sure you say “i got it” or “mine” so that the other players won’t bump into you. When your coach is testing your strength and that’s means striking make sure you have a good jump and your foot work is on point. When serving serve with your palm and not your fingers. You’ll probably get to bump or set back and forward with a partner so make sure your doing your best. Overall wish everyone who is trying out good luck! And remember it’s all or nothing.
Birdy Tweets i’m starting my freshman year in a few days and i’m trying out for setter! haha wish me luck also i started playing in 7th if anyone was wondering(i’m pretty sure u weren’t but)
here’s a tip for upcoming players at tryouts!! ALWAYS have an amazing attitude. coaches keep track of everything, and they know everything. literally. ur attitude counts for PT (playtime). believe me, ur coach will not let anyone on that court with a horrible attitude. shake off ur mistakes with a smile. encourage ur teammates. never settle, and keep working forward, i promise ur going to get better. have fun, try your best, but most importantly, PLAY VOLLEYBALL! Good Luck!❤️
@@TheaTheSkulldog this could be a biased answer since I play volleyball and have never done cheer but even just thinking about it, I would probably choose volleyball. This is because I love the rush I get when I play and it gives everyone on the team a chance to shine individually whereas I don't think cheer would give that sort of opportunity? Not 100% sure about that though since I don't know the ins and outs of cheerleading!
no one asked but for 8th grade season 30 girls tried out and I was one of the 11 that made it. Honestly coaches are looking not only for skill but flexibility, good sportsmanship/ good and encouraging attitude, and coach-ability. glad u could help some people out :)
same!! i'm in a volleyball academy/club, but i'm going to try out for my school team. For my club you didn't have to tryout, so i'm watching this to see what i need to know when i tryout for my school.
@@mekerevenn4762 the girl in yellow aint even that good tho usually im one of the "better players" according to coaches and i always have to help the noobies but i control my temper unlike her that was just stupid.
@@realreviewz4462 and if you play provincial you know the pain and r ever nationals and someone’s not good it’s a let down trust I play provincial and went to nationals 2 times and placed 3 the first Time the second time 1st
Today was last tryouts, I felt like I did terrible… on Monday they will be saying the teams, I hope I make it🥺 Edit (Mon, Dec 2, 2019) : I MADE THE TEAM!!
our tryouts are like practice🥴 i didn’t make it this year but trying again!! it was kind of sad that I made it last year but this year I didn’t. all the girls from last year made it but me.. my emotions were mad and sad, sad I didn’t make it and mad because i didn’t practice enough and I could have done better. BUT you know what, I’ll try again this year and practice way more. mostly my serves because that my weak spot.
I played in 7th 8th for my school and club, I also just made a national team for this upcoming season. My best advice to make your middle school team is to learn all the volleyball words before to yell out when playing 6 on 6. Ofc you should say mine and down, but also call out if a serve is gonna be short or deep, if a hit is gonna be cross or line. Other important things: - say yes sir/ma’am to the coaches if they give you advice, then TAKE THE ADVICE - always run to shag balls/ go anywhere - when a coach is explaining something to a group, make eye contact and nod. At the end say “yes coach.” - Always be down low (kind of squatting) when waiting to receive serves, it helps you get to the ball faster and makes you look better - Learn all the volleyball terminology so you can say smart stuff instead of coaches (ace, 4, 2, c, all the positions, kill, etc) - know different volleyball drills so you can demonstrate when the coach needs an example. (butterfly, hitting lines, etc) - If possible, confirm with a friend that you’ll be partners at tryouts, you’ll more than likely need a partner for something. - Ask a coach a very specific question at the end of tryouts on the first day. “Is there anything I should know to improve my power when hitting?” this will help them remember you - Yell out compliments to other people trying out, it shows you’re a good teammate. “Nice serve!” “Great dig!” - When you mess up (you will,) don’t show too much on your face, try to stay neutral, shake it off, and tell yourself you’ll do better next time - If a coach asks someone to put up the ballcart, roll in the bleachers, put of the net, or anything like that, IMMEDIATELY RUN TO DO IT - Act excited to be there, be the most energetic in the room (even if you’re terrified, don’t worry, everyone is) - Have a good attitude, even if the coach makes you run suicides don’t sigh or make a face
Tryout tips (probably ones you haven’t heard in every video you’ve watched) 1- don’t throw the ball in the basket unless you know your gonna make it, just set it in there!! In case you do miss...? 2- don’t get nervous when a coach is walking by, just play how you do, don’t try to just change it up!! If you mess up right in front of them, don’t even worry about it, they also look for how you react when you mess up. 3-Cheer for people when they do something good, everyone there is probably nervous, and you being a good teammate will not only help them, but looks good on you yo the coaches!! 4- if you don’t get the drill ASK SOMEONE that does!! It’s okay to ask questions!!! Have a good attitude!!!
I was so ready but nervous I remember screwing up the whole tryout i didnt do a single thing right and i kept getting yelled at for my mistakes. Didnt make the team and got hardcore laughed at. Out of school volleyball is for me. I can do things really good but performing infront of the popular girls who tryed out made me freak out and anxious
Don’t let others be the reason you fail ever tryout again and just forget about the other girls bc u are enough and if u tried and didn’t make it keep trying never give up
@@nora-kn4uq 😂 idk why they think that. I’m gonna be honest, it gets super annoying when boys at school try to act like they’re super tough and try hard in every sport and basically not give anyone a chance to play because they wanna seem cool. And especially running. They always sprint the whole way and think everyone cares when really, we just think it’s obnoxious.
@@mahnoorahmad1690 We do it because it's fun, do you honestly think we care or have thought that the girls would think it's cool, no. Trying hard in sports isn't a bad thing at all, especially when you want a good grade.
@@theskiesahead795 I’m not saying it’s bad to work hard in a sport, but in my school, the boys never give others a chance to play when others wanna participate. A lot of them at my school are ball hogs and sometimes they injure other people by pushing them aside or running into them. That isn’t okay.
Here are some tips from a Volleyball coach (me) 1. Be on time 2. Say hit to your coaches 3. When the coach is explaining something, listen. 4. Shag your ball!!! 5. Always hustle. 6. Never quit on a ball, even if it seems impossible. 7. When the coach asks for a volunteer, jump in. 8. If you get a good set, acknowledge your setter. 9. If you make a mistake, don't sulk or show bad body language. Just learn from it and move on. 10. Say thank you at the end. Don't worry about wearing headbands or bright colors. Let your attitude and passion shine through. The coaches will see that. Trust me. Good luck with your tryouts. Stay positive and swing hard.
iiElvira just put your heart into it every hit every serve every dig and dive every save try your best and then more and come in confident and make it known who you are confidence doesn’t meant cockiness it’s normal to have nerves but don’t let them over power your performance most importantly good luck
I’m gonna be trying out for our schools volleyball team. But it will be my first time playing volleyball competitively. Im only 5'1 but i'm planning to play as a libero. Some of the upperclassmen said I should try out because I was good. (Volleyball for fun) (Boys volleyball but we dont start till March)
zan oh yeah, I’m a boy who’s trying out next week, I’m in 8th grade, I’ve played volleyball but never on a team because my school doesn’t have one so I have to tryout for club,. i wanna play as libero/ds or setter I’m not a good hitter
Sadly, my school has never had a person play the Libero position, but I’m going to try and be the first! My strongest point is my receives. I have been training rigorously on other aspects, but receives are mostly my thing. I hope you make it in!
Ayeee I'm roughly 5' 2 and wanting to be a libero, never played volleyball until beginning to learn like 3 weeks ago. Tryouts are in a month. Send help
Luckily my school started a boys volleyball team before all of this corona and not alot of people have been interested so far. All I Have to do is get my athletic clearance and Ill be good to go. Ive never played in school but I am strong in my recieves and serving I have a smart playstyle.
I'm going to be trying out for varsity volleyball next year and this video was super helpful.It showed how to spike,forearm,set and others things that were helpful!It also showed what you should wear.Thanks for publishing this video!
I had my first try-out today, 2 more to go. I’ll update you when I find out next week😇 Update: I MADE THE TEAM🥳🥳🥳🥳. Update 2: OK so the season is over and it is actually not that bad, it was kind of hard and the only thing that really stressful was the tournament but overall if you ever think about trying out just go for it because most likely you’ll make the team I literally didn’t know anything and now I know everything about volleyball and I still made the team so if you think about trying out or you always wanted to but you’re scared just go for it you only live once Update 3 : it's September 3 2022. I play varsity as freshman now
@Life With Rhiana ! not sure if you already had tryouts but here it is! research all there is to know about volleyball, the positions, rotations, game points, etc. learn the basic skills, setting spiking, serving, passing/bumping, and digging. wear the proper attire. spandex, a loose t shirt, knee pads, and court shoes/volleyball shoes. never talk while the coach is talking, communicate with the other boys/girls who are trying out and introduce yourself to your coach. practice up until the tryouts to get yourself familiar with the sport. hope this helps!
Tryouts for me are tomorrow, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. I will try to update y’all after everyday at tryouts but if I don’t I’ll be sure to update if I made the team or not :) First day: Okay so my serves were a little wonky and my sets were okay but besides that it went pretty good :)
to anyone reading nervous about tryouts coaches are looking for 1. hustle 2. good sportsmanship 3. if you’re “coachable” You don’t have to be good at everything coaches want someone who can receive constructive criticism and use it when given,,, always always ALWAYS call the ball. Even when passing back and forth because coaches WILL notice and encouraging others while playing is a must! Also know YOUR limits if you feel like your going to throw up etc let the coach know! They WILL understand :) Good Luck
@@dezi1143 My friend who plays volleyball on a club team says height doesn’t matter. She says she thinks i’ll make the team (even though im 5’0 which is short for my age) but honestly I think you should just go out there and try your best! :) My tryouts are in 2 days so we’ll see how it goes!
Try Outs actually happened ages ago, four weeks? Or so. Anyways I made it in as one of the teams two libero. For anyone who is having tryouts and is scared, don't worry I was too. For anyone who wants any tips, watch your foot work, keep your body low and centered, arms straight. Just watch the ball predict where it's going and hussle. Hussle,hussle,hussle don't just stand there! move around but don't forget to watch the ball and of course Call "Mine" or " I Got It" make sure to call it loud!
Kahleen Lagare give me tips please, this year I am trying out for our teams libero our HS is small and I don’t think there is many other people considering this position please if you wouldn’t mind give me tips to ensure my position on the team
@@lemoncalcium6160 Well... Coachs look for people who move around the court but there's more to being a libero than that. The libero's one AND only Job is to make sure the ball doesn't touch the ground, as long as it's in the air your team will win. Also a libero needs a positive mindset, " DON'T LET THE BALL TOUCH THE GROUND! " . And lastly you need a good overhand serve it doesnt have to be those awesome olympic ones. You just need to get the ball over the net with good accuracy. Well these aren't from me these are the teaching of my coach. Also don't ever forget to call "MINE" or "I GOT IT" or anything thats gonna tell your team your gonna get the ball. If ur gonna call it call it loud like u mean it.
Kahleen Lagare thanks it really helps and I appreciate it I’ll be sure to respond to you soon and I’ll tell you if I made the position again thank you for the tips and now I know how I can better my chances
I got onto my freshman team. Just be loud and go for every ball. Make sure you call it if you want it. Don't let your weight or unathletic ism stop you. As a person who ways 230, I made it as a middle blocker.
Lbs or kg? I’m only 11 and there’s no volleyball team in grade 5 but in grade 6 and up there is volleyball, I’m hoping to get in this year, tryouts are either September or october
@@donkeykong3340 I am 230 LBS, your weight and size don't matter as I was told I had like 3 months prior of practice before trying out for my highschool team. All I can say is be loud, go for every ball, work hard and listen to your coaches and don't give them attitude. Hard work does pay off because yesterday for our game against JV I was a starter so I am pretty sure you will do fine.
@@elilee1721 I had a special training with the school volleyball coach once and he said I should play volleyball and be a spiker because he said I spike really hard, I’m deciding whether to be a setter or opposite
@@donkeykong3340 hmm 🤔 as a middle blocker I'm their hardest spiker and decent passer and all around pretty well off. Depending on your height you can possibly be spiker but if your skills r based on spiking I'd say outside hitter you'll get the best sets and most sets depending on your setter. Opposite barely gets any balls and if they do it's an off set
Thank you so much for this video I’m so happy I found it and watched it bc it really helped me know what to expect for my tryouts and now I feel more comfortable and less worried to tryout so thank you for posting this video
tip for some players that are trying out of want to tryout! have a good attitude and be kind to your teammates! they love the positive energy. act like every ball is yours, even if you can’t get it. they wanna see the effort! and communicate! call out the ball no matter what. you have to go for it! don’t stress out about it, its gonna make you more worried and stress can cause pain in joints such as wrists and ankles. do whats good for you, the coaches are looking for players to fit spots on the team. so if your good at receives and you can dive for the ball, Libero would be a good place for you. only do what makes you comfortable. if you can’t jump high enough over the net, don’t. do what your good at! now i’m not an expert or anything i’ve only been on a volleyball team for 2 years and i’m a libero so i’m always in the back mainly. its hard to catch what goes on up front but if anyone wants to correct me feel free to. i’m not an expert haha. i wanted to point out when the girls started bump passing i noticed some of them weren’t backing up for where it fits them right to bump the ball and that caused them to straighten their backs. you want your knees in front of feet, and shoulders in front of knees and don’t move from that, you can bend and step forward but not backing up so its a good position isn’t good.
AHHHh i think i might try out but i'm so scared because i've never done sports before but i really wanna try something new so i might just practice and train this month and see how it goes :)
I'm going to try out once August rolls around, I'll be a freshman and it's so dumb because my biggest worry is whether or not I'll be able to find someone to partner up with 😂😂
i remember when i first tried out for a club. i was 12 and was trying out for the 12 or 13’s teams. i ended up making the 13-1’s team and i was extremely excited. now i’m 15 playing jv for a new school and trying out for a different club this season ( i played for them already but the new season hasn’t started. my first time playing with them i made 16-White which is a short season team and the best i could’ve made for my age.
i hope you make that club! I'm 12 and trying out for my school's team in a few weeks and a club team in a few months so I'm pretty nervous but congrats!!:)
For some odd reason, My grade 6 self got pretty salty when I didn't make it. Of course I didn't I was facing grade 7's and 8's. I ended up not coming back to volleyball. I'm in the 9th grade and trying to train all over again so I can make the team before I leave this school for highschool. Don't let it hurt you if you don't make it first time!
I got pretty sad when I didn’t make a fifth grade volleyball of course I was up against 6/7 and eighth graders but most of my grade didn’t make it and I was pretty sad but this year I’m hoping again seventh
And this is why I’m glad I go to a small school so that I don’t have to try out, I’m automatically on the team, but I would love to tryout if we had enough to do so
Same that’s how most of our sports are. Our volleyball team needed 10 people so the reason we had tryouts it’s because there were 12, sometimes it’s nice trying out
@@Lee..01 HAHA, no😭 i did the tryouts in 7th grade, and I hit a girl in the face with a ball. It was TERRIBLE. Now I’m in 9th grade and I definitely won’t be trying out for any sports
@@champagnepapiswife9404 F I’m in 9th now and tryouts r in 4 days and haven’t touched a ball since 7th literally reading advice from comments I’m that bad bahah
I going to tryout for the fun of it, because I like volleyball why not. I am not going to be sad if I don’t make it it will just push me to be better. I will update when tryouts are over
I was thinking about trying out next year for 9th grade. I’ve never really played so I’m trying to learn everything I can. So in short I am absolutely terrified, but watching this made me feel a bit better. The things they are doing are pretty much what I’ve been practicing. Then again my school might be different. Anyone have any tips?😅
I'm trying out in 9th grade aswell haha I go in August but don't know when they do volleyball tryouts because I'm as of now homeschooled so now I'm very scared😂
i got into volleyball like during quarantine but never played on an actual team and the thought of me, an incoming freshman, that doesn’t know how to do a lot of stuff trying out scares me😭
I'm so scared for my tryouts because I'm only 5'0 and since I didn't make the team last year, (I thought serving the ball was bumping) I've been working so hard to improve my overhand when my underhand is absolutely amazing but I'm not sure my team allows that, I'm scared of spiking. The net is at least 7 feet tall and I'm not sure if they'll have us do that at tryouts. Update: tryouts are done!! I feel confident my passing was good but not so much my serves..I don't think I'll make it but it was worth a shot. 2nd round meetup is tomorrow :) 2nd round was done, did okay but there were about 50 girls there and only 15 spots. I didn't make it but I'm glad I at least got 2nd day. Keep going even if you don't make it!
don’t worry! i’m 4”11 and i can hit the ball over a net that is 7 ft! don’t be afraid just make sure ur footwork is correct and that you do not swing up but down so that it’s not an easy hit!
Omg why? We do it to warm up our shoulders and arms. It isn’t a problem bc you can just pump the ball back up and it’s not like you’re kicking the ball 🤷🏻
@@madiwilliams4332 i'm an upcoming 7th grader so i'm able to tryout for the jv team at the high school. the coach is also a softball coach and she said she doesn't care for volleyball like she does for softball .. i'm scared
im a freshman and tryouts are tomorrow, ive never played volleyball in my life but i’m pretty athletic so i hope i do well, i know basics (kinda 😅) i really want to be a libero to. N e ways i hope i make it EDIT: I MADEE THE TEAMMMMMM!!! JUST TO EVERYONE THAT ISNT CONFIDENT IN TRYING OUT FOR A SPORT YOUVE NEVER PLAYED.. DO IT, TRY YOUR BEST
same, im a freshman looking at so many videos bc ive never played volleyball and i dont wanna embarrass myself. my tryouts are this month and im so scared. Hope you make it!
I’m in 8th grade right now and I’m going to try out for volleyball next year but I’m kinda nervous because some of the high schools told me they had to run a mile before volleyball practice
Good luck! I will be trying out for the 8th grade season (currently I’m in 7th grade) I’m so scared as well cause I didn’t make the team last year, but my skills have definitely improved
Dreamin Vibes good luck all you need to know is to work on your hitting so you can spike it down it will help a lot to score more points for your team😊
I was supposed to try out for an out of school league (because I ain't good enough for high school) RIGHT before covid started, and ofc tryouts were canceled. I have gotten so much worse over the pandemic, and now I only have a month to touch up on my skills for a shot at getting in the league this winter. And to give u an idea of how bad I am rn, I can't even float serve properly.
For reference I am a 8th grader trying out for volleyball and my tryouts are tomorrow and the next day I would just like to say as long at you show 110% effort you have a good chance of making a team. Serve receive is very important so be sure to try super hard then as well. And also never walk alway at least jog weather it’s to got and shag or to get a drink of water it shows that you want to be there and you want to get to work as fast as possible it show you have a ton of interest in it. So yeah if you guys have tryouts coming up I wish all of you the best of luckkkk
I’m trying out next year, still contemplating whether I should do volleyball or netball. Does it matter if you don’t have any experience in volleyball, or do you have to know how to spike, serve, ect… right now, the only thing I’m good at is receives? I play netball in school, people say I’m pretty good at it, for those who play, does it really matter if you’re inexperienced? Or should I play it safe and go for netball?
This is really helpful! I have tryouts tomorrow and I’m really nervous but I’ve done most of these things in lessons before so hopefully I’ll be fine (wish me luck lol)
i just started playing volleyball a couple weeks ago, although i've been playing soccer for 7 years, and an athlete basically all my life. i don't think im half bad at volleyball, although i still need some tips/advice!
i have tryouts in a little over a week but i’ve been going to practices since may and today was my last practice until tryouts and i did so bad and then we have a dead week before tryouts so hopefully i’ll do better then update- today was my second day of tryouts, i made jv **also this was my first year playing**
Wear knee pads mostly if u can’t take floor burns Learn how to communicate with the players Pass the ball to others When you receive the ball keep your hands straight and face front where you wanna pass it And stay low it makes it easier to read the ball (Hope this helps)
Yes girl you can I didn't play it for 2 years and I lost it but I tried out this year and made it good luck bbg you can do ittt I belive in you 1 have good sportsmanship 2 always take jewelry off or piercings 3 have confidence 4 have hair up all time 5 be nice 6 go for it 7 call the ball
If this is how tryouts are gonna be for my middle school then ill be totally fine bc im good at serving,setting,and digging btw I'm in the 6th grade and this is my first time trying out.(not trying to sound snotty about this) I've been using CZcams this whole time to practice and use drills
Missed tryouts I think but a guy overheard me talking about volleyboll with my friends and invited us to tje practice tomorrow, This is my chance to finally become a volleyball player! I can do it! I am an absolute beginner with no experience but I have determination, I have my will and my hope. I'll do my best so wish me luck everyone tomorrow is the day I make school heaven instead of hell!
Some of the girls like red, yellow, and pink kind of made me feel a little more confident on how I play, im not the best nor do I have experience but I know for sure you dont hit the ball with your fingers OR CATCH THE DARN THING🧍🏻♀️tryouts are in 9 days and I've been practicing a lot wish me luck
I dont know if i want to do cheer or volleyball cause i like dancing but i can remember 20 minutes worth of dances but volleyball you just pay attencion stay in you place and hit the ball
noooo volleyball is WAY more than that. Takes a lot of time and dedication to master. you also move a LOT. In the end you do whichever sport feels right for you
I’m not scared to tryout or nothing I’m just scared of my weight. I am a bigger girl so I don’t want people to judge me or make me feel bad about myself.
Wait y’all I have a question, at tryouts should I flex all I can or just be genuinely like *playing* what I mean by flexing is diving float serving etc. (yes I know those aren’t exactly amazing skills I just learnt how to do them and I’m so proud lmao 😭)
I'm not a professional so please don't take what I say seriously, but if I were you, if I needed to dive, I would, if a float would benefit, then I would do a float serve. The main goal is to not let the ball touch and it all depends on how you do it, so if you know that one of the skills is exactly what you need to do, then go for it!
so next week is my camp, then that monday and tuesday is try outs. then that wednesday is the first practice. 2 weeks after is the first game. so it’s very jammed packed. so i’m so very nervous. i’m going into 7th and it’s a new school. and i’m 5’4. but this is my first time ever playing volleyball so i’m nervous. and kinda scared that i won’t make it. and i’m not good enough. i only have myself to practice with so i make the best out of it i can. i’ll update y’all if i make it :) EDIT: I MADE THE TEAMM
Frick, I'm so nervous I've never played volleyball on a team but I play with my family and I love it so I'm going to try out next week and I don't think I'll make it because I haven't played all summer but I'll edit this and let you know how it goes. This video gave me a little hope. ;)
i have tryouts like the first week of school and school starts in like 8 days idek, i started playing in 7th and i’m trying out for setter again lol( setter life )
i’m really nervous. i’m trying out for my 8th grade volleyball and i don’t know how to serve that well i suck it . although i do have faith in myself and i’m trying so hard to tell myself that i will make it! i really hope i do. i haven’t even practiced volleyball ever since covid started and tryouts are this upcoming week. i’m also really nervous cus these girls that talk shit abt my friends and i are trying out too and i feel like there gonna be making fun of me if i fail :/
Rule #1 of tryouts
DONT CATCH THE BALL!!
even if the ball coming at you seems impossible to get... GO FOR IT!!

RIGHT like I saw so many balls catched when they could have easily dig it

@@Yua.1 nooooo. Dont give up! "One more time"
thank u so much🥺🥺💓💘💝💝
I’m a freshman and I just had tryouts and I made the team I was really happy so a little advice for the ones who have tryouts coming soon just be ready to be flexible and being able to move around. If you are playing a quick 6on 6 game and the ball is coming for you or near you and you want to go for the ball make sure you say “i got it” or “mine” so that the other players won’t bump into you. When your coach is testing your strength and that’s means striking make sure you have a good jump and your foot work is on point. When serving serve with your palm and not your fingers. You’ll probably get to bump or set back and forward with a partner so make sure your doing your best. Overall wish everyone who is trying out good luck! And remember it’s all or nothing.
Birdy Tweets i’m starting my freshman year in a few days and i’m trying out for setter! haha wish me luck
also i started playing in 7th if anyone was wondering(i’m pretty sure u weren’t but)
When you were doing your try outs was it just like this or a different way?
Birdy Tweets Thank you! I literally have tryouts coming up soon.
@@emxly8618 I have mine on December 2nd and I probably won't make the team but good luck if you haven't had yours yet!
Love you dude thanks for the advice
A couple of girls In my grade wore JEANS to tryouts. I was like “bruh”
Lena Bryant did they make the team ?
Lena Bryant I had one girl do that and she didn’t make it lmaooooo

Lena Bryant 😳
@@ryliebennett3388 ikr
Im stiff asf when i wear jeans 😳 wonder how they did
here’s a tip for upcoming players at tryouts!! ALWAYS have an amazing attitude. coaches keep track of everything, and they know everything. literally. ur attitude counts for PT (playtime). believe me, ur coach will not let anyone on that court with a horrible attitude. shake off ur mistakes with a smile. encourage ur teammates. never settle, and keep working forward, i promise ur going to get better. have fun, try your best, but most importantly, PLAY VOLLEYBALL! Good Luck!❤️
what your opinion would you do cheer or volleyball and why?
@@TheaTheSkulldog this could be a biased answer since I play volleyball and have never done cheer but even just thinking about it, I would probably choose volleyball. This is because I love the rush I get when I play and it gives everyone on the team a chance to shine individually whereas I don't think cheer would give that sort of opportunity? Not 100% sure about that though since I don't know the ins and outs of cheerleading!
I needed this, im trying out for my school team in a few days and I’m a bit nervous
trying out next week 😋
thank you you should eat some ice cream frog the advice!
The girls in the red and yellow need to practice their bumps and not bending their arms when they do bump it
Do not call it bumps
@Aidan Johnson because it’s called passing bumps is cringyyyyy
EWWW NO YOU CLEARLY DONT PLAY EWWWWW NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO ITS A PASSSS NOT A DAMN BUMP EW STOP SPEAKING ON THINGS YOU DONT KNOW

@@madisonbutler4608 you’re really fucking cringey
no one asked but for 8th grade season 30 girls tried out and I was one of the 11 that made it. Honestly coaches are looking not only for skill but flexibility, good sportsmanship/ good and encouraging attitude, and coach-ability.
glad u could help some people out :)
Im gonna try out next year in 8th grade for the first time and I think this will help me out :) thanks :D

BUT you know what, I’ll try again this year and practice way more. mostly my serves because that my weak spot.
Good luck next time!
SAMEEEEE
Periodt and good luck next tryouts ❤
i hope you make the team !
That is such a bad feeling it’s like your already on the bench now you out of the team
Volleyball is just an advanced version of hot potato.
Okay you made me laugh and I think cured my headache hahaha
Got it 👍
I played in 7th 8th for my school and club, I also just made a national team for this upcoming season. My best advice to make your middle school team is to learn all the volleyball words before to yell out when playing 6 on 6. Ofc you should say mine and down, but also call out if a serve is gonna be short or deep, if a hit is gonna be cross or line.
Other important things:
- say yes sir/ma’am to the coaches if they give you advice, then TAKE THE ADVICE
- always run to shag balls/ go anywhere
- when a coach is explaining something to a group, make eye contact and nod. At the end say “yes coach.”
- Always be down low (kind of squatting) when waiting to receive serves, it helps you get to the ball faster and makes you look better
- Learn all the volleyball terminology so you can say smart stuff instead of coaches (ace, 4, 2, c, all the positions, kill, etc)
- know different volleyball drills so you can demonstrate when the coach needs an example. (butterfly, hitting lines, etc)
- If possible, confirm with a friend that you’ll be partners at tryouts, you’ll more than likely need a partner for something.
- Ask a coach a very specific question at the end of tryouts on the first day. “Is there anything I should know to improve my power when hitting?” this will help them remember you
- Yell out compliments to other people trying out, it shows you’re a good teammate. “Nice serve!” “Great dig!”
- When you mess up (you will,) don’t show too much on your face, try to stay neutral, shake it off, and tell yourself you’ll do better next time
- If a coach asks someone to put up the ballcart, roll in the bleachers, put of the net, or anything like that, IMMEDIATELY RUN TO DO IT
- Act excited to be there, be the most energetic in the room (even if you’re terrified, don’t worry, everyone is)
- Have a good attitude, even if the coach makes you run suicides don’t sigh or make a face
Me: *wanting to try out in my 8th grade year* tHiS cOuLd Be Us
Corona: So back to what I was saying😈💩~
Why is this meeee 😭😭 I was gonna tryout this year but corona said nope ☠️
SAME I was so prepared bruh 😭
ive never been active or had an interest in sports then I really liked volleyball but then corona a week later like ;((
Fr I was gonna do it for Freshman year but I couldnt tryout at all
same but im trying out for my freshman year and my tryouts are August 9th-10th
Tryout tips (probably ones you haven’t heard in every video you’ve watched) 1- don’t throw the ball in the basket unless you know your gonna make it, just set it in there!! In case you do miss...? 2- don’t get nervous when a coach is walking by, just play how you do, don’t try to just change it up!! If you mess up right in front of them, don’t even worry about it, they also look for how you react when you mess up. 3-Cheer for people when they do something good, everyone there is probably nervous, and you being a good teammate will not only help them, but looks good on you yo the coaches!! 4- if you don’t get the drill ASK SOMEONE that does!! It’s okay to ask questions!!! Have a good attitude!!!
what should i wear to tryouts?
@@_duvetsI wear my knee pads,arm sleeves and school t shirt or athletic t shirt and spandex, volleyball shoes as well!
I was so ready but nervous I remember screwing up the whole tryout i didnt do a single thing right and i kept getting yelled at for my mistakes. Didnt make the team and got hardcore laughed at. Out of school volleyball is for me. I can do things really good but performing infront of the popular girls who tryed out made me freak out and anxious
Don’t let others be the reason you fail ever tryout again and just forget about the other girls bc u are enough and if u tried and didn’t make it keep trying never give up
I’m late but I’m sorry about that :(
How the camera shakes at the beginning ......my mom coming upstairs to find me eating
If it was boys at my school trying out, they would’ve *SPRINTED THE WHOLE THING WITHOUT NO HESITATION*
ikr boys at my school be sprinting at full speed for no reason. Apparently running is "attractive" now??
@@nora-kn4uq 😂 idk why they think that. I’m gonna be honest, it gets super annoying when boys at school try to act like they’re super tough and try hard in every sport and basically not give anyone a chance to play because they wanna seem cool. And especially running. They always sprint the whole way and think everyone cares when really, we just think it’s obnoxious.
@@mahnoorahmad1690 We do it because it's fun, do you honestly think we care or have thought that the girls would think it's cool, no. Trying hard in sports isn't a bad thing at all, especially when you want a good grade.
Soaars u kn running and having a good grade aren’t similar at all ?
@@theskiesahead795 I’m not saying it’s bad to work hard in a sport, but in my school, the boys never give others a chance to play when others wanna participate. A lot of them at my school are ball hogs and sometimes they injure other people by pushing them aside or running into them. That isn’t okay.
my tryout starts in 2 hours 😰
Yana Yana did you make it
yes i made it
Yana what was required to make it?
Yana was it hard
this will be my first time trying out and i was wondering if tryouts are before or after school? also is practice both before and after school?
Here are some tips from a Volleyball coach (me)
1. Be on time
2. Say hit to your coaches
3. When the coach is explaining something, listen.
4. Shag your ball!!!
5. Always hustle.
6. Never quit on a ball, even if it seems impossible.
7. When the coach asks for a volunteer, jump in.
8. If you get a good set, acknowledge your setter.
9. If you make a mistake, don't sulk or show bad body language. Just learn from it and move on.
10. Say thank you at the end.
Don't worry about wearing headbands or bright colors. Let your attitude and passion shine through. The coaches will see that. Trust me.
Good luck with your tryouts. Stay positive and swing hard.
the girl in the yellow shirt is really wearing a crop top
That’s exactly what I was thinking!!!!!
omg i thought the same. like just wear a normal shirt and if not that the school gym shirt like fr
My tryouts are tomorrow and I am a freshman...so I am having anxiety rn 😞
iiElvira just put your heart into it every hit every serve every dig and dive every save try your best and then more and come in confident and make it known who you are confidence doesn’t meant cockiness it’s normal to have nerves but don’t let them over power your performance most importantly good luck
M N thank you. You really helped.
Good luck
iiElvira That’s me rn
Did u make it?
I’m gonna be trying out for our schools volleyball team. But it will be my first time playing volleyball competitively. Im only 5'1 but i'm planning to play as a libero. Some of the upperclassmen said I should try out because I was good. (Volleyball for fun)
(Boys volleyball but we dont start till March)
zan oh yeah, I’m a boy who’s trying out next week, I’m in 8th grade, I’ve played volleyball but never on a team because my school doesn’t have one so I have to tryout for club,. i wanna play as libero/ds or setter I’m not a good hitter
Sadly, my school has never had a person play the Libero position, but I’m going to try and be the first! My strongest point is my receives. I have been training rigorously on other aspects, but receives are mostly my thing. I hope you make it in!
Ayeee I'm roughly 5' 2 and wanting to be a libero, never played volleyball until beginning to learn like 3 weeks ago. Tryouts are in a month. Send help
damn that's short
Luckily my school started a boys volleyball team before all of this corona and not alot of people have been interested so far. All I Have to do is get my athletic clearance and Ill be good to go. Ive never played in school but I am strong in my recieves and serving I have a smart playstyle.
1:00:07 can we just talk about how much power went into that ball 😳
The Power!!!!!!
IT MADE ME CACKLE
She could’ve taken someone’s head off with that geez
True but power doesn’t really matter as long as you get it in the court in the right spot
Dang
any ladies that are preparing for tryouts just know that your attitude and effort play a big role
I'm going to be trying out for varsity volleyball next year and this video was super helpful.It showed how to spike,forearm,set and others things that were helpful!It also showed what you should wear.Thanks for publishing this video!
I had my first try-out today, 2 more to go. I’ll update you when I find out next week😇
Update: I MADE THE TEAM🥳🥳🥳🥳. Update 2: OK so the season is over and it is actually not that bad, it was kind of hard and the only thing that really stressful was the tournament but overall if you ever think about trying out just go for it because most likely you’ll make the team I literally didn’t know anything and now I know everything about volleyball and I still made the team so if you think about trying out or you always wanted to but you’re scared just go for it you only live once
Update 3 : it's September 3 2022. I play varsity as freshman now
congrats :D
mango tjx❤️
i wanna tryout this spring, anything I need to know?
@Life With Rhiana ! not sure if you already had tryouts but here it is! research all there is to know about volleyball, the positions, rotations, game points, etc. learn the basic skills, setting spiking, serving, passing/bumping, and digging. wear the proper attire. spandex, a loose t shirt, knee pads, and court shoes/volleyball shoes. never talk while the coach is talking, communicate with the other boys/girls who are trying out and introduce yourself to your coach. practice up until the tryouts to get yourself familiar with the sport. hope this helps!
@@rhirhi9476 Same lol how do i even go to tryout or how does it work
Tryouts for me are tomorrow, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. I will try to update y’all after everyday at tryouts but if I don’t I’ll be sure to update if I made the team or not :)
First day: Okay so my serves were a little wonky and my sets were okay but besides that it went pretty good :)
to anyone reading nervous about tryouts coaches are looking for
1. hustle
2. good sportsmanship
3. if you’re “coachable”
You don’t have to be good at everything coaches want someone who can receive constructive criticism and use it when given,,, always always ALWAYS call the ball. Even when passing back and forth because coaches WILL notice and encouraging others while playing is a must! Also know YOUR limits if you feel like your going to throw up etc let the coach know! They WILL understand :) Good Luck
Tips!
-Where bright colors, you want to stand out!!
-Be loud, call the ball!
-Be nice to the coach
-And hustle, be quick to the ball
Hope that helps 😁

Try Outs actually happened ages ago, four weeks? Or so. Anyways I made it in as one of the teams two libero. For anyone who is having tryouts and is scared, don't worry I was too.
For anyone who wants any tips, watch your foot work, keep your body low and centered, arms straight. Just watch the ball predict where it's going and hussle. Hussle,hussle,hussle don't just stand there! move around but don't forget to watch the ball and of course Call "Mine" or " I Got It" make sure to call it loud!
Kahleen Lagare give me tips please, this year I am trying out for our teams libero our HS is small and I don’t think there is many other people considering this position please if you wouldn’t mind give me tips to ensure my position on the team
@@lemoncalcium6160 Well... Coachs look for people who move around the court but there's more to being a libero than that.
The libero's one AND only Job is to make sure the ball doesn't touch the ground, as long as it's in the air your team will win. Also a libero needs a positive mindset, " DON'T LET THE BALL TOUCH THE GROUND! " . And lastly you need a good overhand serve it doesnt have to be those awesome olympic ones. You just need to get the ball over the net with good accuracy.
Well these aren't from me these are the teaching of my coach. Also don't ever forget to call "MINE" or "I GOT IT" or anything thats gonna tell your team your gonna get the ball. If ur gonna call it call it loud like u mean it.
Kahleen Lagare thanks it really helps and I appreciate it I’ll be sure to respond to you soon and I’ll tell you if I made the position again thank you for the tips and now I know how I can better my chances
@@lemoncalcium6160 Good luck my friend😊😊
I got onto my freshman team. Just be loud and go for every ball. Make sure you call it if you want it. Don't let your weight or unathletic ism stop you. As a person who ways 230, I made it as a middle blocker.
Lbs or kg? I’m only 11 and there’s no volleyball team in grade 5 but in grade 6 and up there is volleyball, I’m hoping to get in this year, tryouts are either September or october
@@donkeykong3340 I am 230 LBS, your weight and size don't matter as I was told I had like 3 months prior of practice before trying out for my highschool team. All I can say is be loud, go for every ball, work hard and listen to your coaches and don't give them attitude. Hard work does pay off because yesterday for our game against JV I was a starter so I am pretty sure you will do fine.
@@elilee1721 I had a special training with the school volleyball coach once and he said I should play volleyball and be a spiker because he said I spike really hard, I’m deciding whether to be a setter or opposite
@@donkeykong3340 hmm 🤔 as a middle blocker I'm their hardest spiker and decent passer and all around pretty well off. Depending on your height you can possibly be spiker but if your skills r based on spiking I'd say outside hitter you'll get the best sets and most sets depending on your setter. Opposite barely gets any balls and if they do it's an off set
@@elilee1721 mhm, sure I’ll take ur advice and practice as an outside hitter
Thank you so much for this video I’m so happy I found it and watched it bc it really helped me know what to expect for my tryouts and now I feel more comfortable and less worried to tryout so thank you for posting this video
tip for some players that are trying out of want to tryout!
have a good attitude and be kind to your teammates! they love the positive energy. act like every ball is yours, even if you can’t get it. they wanna see the effort! and communicate! call out the ball no matter what. you have to go for it! don’t stress out about it, its gonna make you more worried and stress can cause pain in joints such as wrists and ankles. do whats good for you, the coaches are looking for players to fit spots on the team. so if your good at receives and you can dive for the ball, Libero would be a good place for you. only do what makes you comfortable. if you can’t jump high enough over the net, don’t. do what your good at! now i’m not an expert or anything i’ve only been on a volleyball team for 2 years and i’m a libero so i’m always in the back mainly. its hard to catch what goes on up front but if anyone wants to correct me feel free to. i’m not an expert haha. i wanted to point out when the girls started bump passing i noticed some of them weren’t backing up for where it fits them right to bump the ball and that caused them to straighten their backs. you want your knees in front of feet, and shoulders in front of knees and don’t move from that, you can bend and step forward but not backing up so its a good position isn’t good.
bit late, but who do coaches usually pick? my tryouts are tmr!
24:55 just this girl in the front back just cracks me up she’s overdoing it... not going one step at a time

For some odd reason, My grade 6 self got pretty salty when I didn't make it. Of course I didn't I was facing grade 7's and 8's. I ended up not coming back to volleyball. I'm in the 9th grade and trying to train all over again so I can make the team before I leave this school for highschool. Don't let it hurt you if you don't make it first time!
Really practice BEING ABLE YO CONTROL YOUR PASSES AND SERVING
To practice serving mark on your yard with a stick or something where 30 feet is and try to get it over the line of 30
Update: I play basketball now :D
I got pretty sad when I didn’t make a fifth grade volleyball of course I was up against 6/7 and eighth graders but most of my grade didn’t make it and I was pretty sad but this year I’m hoping again seventh
baka!
I feel like it would be so fun on the other side as a coach
And this is why I’m glad I go to a small school so that I don’t have to try out, I’m automatically on the team, but I would love to tryout if we had enough to do so
Same that’s how most of our sports are. Our volleyball team needed 10 people so the reason we had tryouts it’s because there were 12, sometimes it’s nice trying out

I'm so scared for my tryouts because I'm only 5'0 and since I didn't make the team last year, (I thought serving the ball was bumping) I've been working so hard to improve my overhand when my underhand is absolutely amazing but I'm not sure my team allows that, I'm scared of spiking. The net is at least 7 feet tall and I'm not sure if they'll have us do that at tryouts.
Update: tryouts are done!! I feel confident my passing was good but not so much my serves..I don't think I'll make it but it was worth a shot. 2nd round meetup is tomorrow :)
2nd round was done, did okay but there were about 50 girls there and only 15 spots. I didn't make it but I'm glad I at least got 2nd day. Keep going even if you don't make it!
don’t worry! i’m 4”11 and i can hit the ball over a net that is 7 ft! don’t be afraid just make sure ur footwork is correct and that you do not swing up but down so that it’s not an easy hit!
@@iikatek3574 yes thank you :))
The yellow and the red shirt they remind me of me and my sister when I’m trying to play volleyball 🏐
i play boys volleyball for my school and casually and i can already tell the girl in red looks like she was forced to play
2 years till highschool and then i can finally play volleyball with people
6:30 bruh we used to get in trouble for bouncing the ball like that before the drill started 😂
Haha why? I always do it to get the feel of hitting the ball
Omg why? We do it to warm up our shoulders and arms. It isn’t a problem bc you can just pump the ball back up and it’s not like you’re kicking the ball 🤷🏻
There’s a lot of people trying out so I’m nervous
Update I didn’t make it, the volleyball coach is the softball coach and all of the softball girls made it and no one else with actual talent did :/
Thats so unfair wth
@@madiwilliams4332 that’s so wrong
@@madiwilliams4332 to be fair softball girls for some reason are always also on the volleyball team
@@madiwilliams4332 i'm an upcoming 7th grader so i'm able to tryout for the jv team at the high school. the coach is also a softball coach and she said she doesn't care for volleyball like she does for softball .. i'm scared
I’m just watching this bc I wanna see what it’s like at tryouts never been to volleyball 😔✋ but I really wanna go
im a freshman and tryouts are tomorrow, ive never played volleyball in my life but i’m pretty athletic so i hope i do well, i know basics (kinda 😅) i really want to be a libero to. N e ways i hope i make it
EDIT: I MADEE THE TEAMMMMMM!!! JUST TO EVERYONE THAT ISNT CONFIDENT IN TRYING OUT FOR A SPORT YOUVE NEVER PLAYED.. DO IT, TRY YOUR BEST
good luck!!
@@bongbong2269 ah thank you, im pretty confident in myself
same, im a freshman looking at so many videos bc ive never played volleyball and i dont wanna embarrass myself. my tryouts are this month and im so scared. Hope you make it!
is your school back in session?
@@luvelle1899 dw u will do great and also i made the team :D
I’m in 8th grade right now and I’m going to try out for volleyball next year but I’m kinda nervous because some of the high schools told me they had to run a mile before volleyball practice
Good luck! I will be trying out for the 8th grade season (currently I’m in 7th grade) I’m so scared as well cause I didn’t make the team last year, but my skills have definitely improved
Dreamin Vibes good luck all you need to know is to work on your hitting so you can spike it down it will help a lot to score more points for your team😊
Alice Walker Okay! Thanks for the tips
@@anitaax8794 sameee
I was supposed to try out for an out of school league (because I ain't good enough for high school) RIGHT before covid started, and ofc tryouts were canceled. I have gotten so much worse over the pandemic, and now I only have a month to touch up on my skills for a shot at getting in the league this winter. And to give u an idea of how bad I am rn, I can't even float serve properly.
For reference I am a 8th grader trying out for volleyball and my tryouts are tomorrow and the next day I would just like to say as long at you show 110% effort you have a good chance of making a team. Serve receive is very important so be sure to try super hard then as well. And also never walk alway at least jog weather it’s to got and shag or to get a drink of water it shows that you want to be there and you want to get to work as fast as possible it show you have a ton of interest in it. So yeah if you guys have tryouts coming up I wish all of you the best of luckkkk
how was it?
@Jayla Robinson just for school but I have club after
@@schlockz3188 good actually I made it 😁😁
@@briannablair1415 GOOD JOBB!!!
We didn’t even have to tryout for volleyball for 7th grade so we have a lot of kids on our team but we did have training camp
I’m trying out next year, still contemplating whether I should do volleyball or netball. Does it matter if you don’t have any experience in volleyball, or do you have to know how to spike, serve, ect… right now, the only thing I’m good at is receives? I play netball in school, people say I’m pretty good at it, for those who play, does it really matter if you’re inexperienced? Or should I play it safe and go for netball?
my tryouts are in 2 weeks the coach said 30-25 people can make it so i’m pretty confident but still nervouse
My tryouts are tomorrow and Friday and I’m super nervous because I’m in eighth grade and I’ve never played before
Lexietheservicedog Lex mine are tomorrow and I’m so nervous!! I’m in 8th and never played either....how did it go? And was it hard?
i started playing in 7th and i’m now going to hs in a few days i’m trying out for setter! 💀
Grace Eaton it was kinda hard I didn’t make it because of my hits but I know what to work on now so I prolly will next year and good luck!
Lexietheservicedog Lex I’ll update you if I make my team, I have 2 more tryouts I’ll find out next week
Update: I MADE THE TEAM🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳
mine are tmr and i never played beforee. 𝗮𝗵𝗵
This is really helpful! I have tryouts tomorrow and I’m really nervous but I’ve done most of these things in lessons before so hopefully I’ll be fine (wish me luck lol)
Did you make it?
Did you make it??
i just started playing volleyball a couple weeks ago, although i've been playing soccer for 7 years, and an athlete basically all my life. i don't think im half bad at volleyball, although i still need some tips/advice!
i have tryouts in a little over a week but i’ve been going to practices since may and today was my last practice until tryouts and i did so bad and then we have a dead week before tryouts so hopefully i’ll do better then
update- today was my second day of tryouts, i made jv
**also this was my first year playing**
I’m trying out for volleyball next school year! Can you guys please give me advice like what to wear what to do, etc.
Angelica don’t wear vans or converse. you shouldn’t wear any kind of jewelry. you should wear shorts (spandex) and a fitting t shirt
@@imystqcz8104 can I wear shorts that aren't spandex?
@@samanthaxie3553 yeah of course
Angelica kokovolley’s CZcams channel is great for volleyball advice!!
Wear knee pads mostly if u can’t take floor burns
Learn how to communicate with the players
Pass the ball to others
When you receive the ball keep your hands straight and face front where you wanna pass it
And stay low it makes it easier to read the ball
(Hope this helps)
Watching this for tomorrow. Super nervous but excited .. hope I make the team!!!
did u make it?
Going to be trying Volleyball next year. No matter what I still receive the ball with my face. I got used to it don’t worry lol.
im also trying out next year
Ok so I want to tryout for my schools volleyball team but I’m not that experienced can I still tryout?
Yes girl you can I didn't play it for 2 years and I lost it but I tried out this year and made it good luck bbg you can do ittt I belive in you 1 have good sportsmanship 2 always take jewelry off or piercings 3 have confidence 4 have hair up all time 5 be nice 6 go for it 7 call the ball
Thank I sooo much and I’m glad u made it 😊😊❤️
Yes of course you can make it I never played volleyball in my life then I practiced for about a year and made the team
This reminds me of how I played in middle school.
25:04 i got so HYPEEE when she hit it LMAOOO
Im gonna try to aim for the middle blockers spot because since im 5’7-5’9 in the 7th grade i think it’ll help a little
WOAH YOU’RE TALL
@@amandaya29 yeah but i ended up being the right side hitter on my team 😭
My tryouts for middle school are today all the way to Friday and it’s Monday 😭🥵I’m scared 😱
Suprxmx same!
mines are tuesday, and this is my first time playing as well as trying out for volleyball.
Suprxmx i’m going to be a freshman in a few days and i’m trying out for setter , i started playing in 7th 👁👄👁
Miaplayz I just made the team like an hour ago for my school team!!! 🏐💛yayyy
Suprxmx congrats, I didn’t make my tryouts today :(
If this is how tryouts are gonna be for my middle school then ill be totally fine bc im good at serving,setting,and digging btw I'm in the 6th grade and this is my first time trying out.(not trying to sound snotty about this) I've been using CZcams this whole time to practice and use drills
Missed tryouts I think but a guy overheard me talking about volleyboll with my friends and invited us to tje practice tomorrow, This is my chance to finally become a volleyball player! I can do it! I am an absolute beginner with no experience but I have determination, I have my will and my hope. I'll do my best so wish me luck everyone tomorrow is the day I make school heaven instead of hell!
did u make the team?
luffarii try outs got cancelled due to quarantine, I practiced with them but that's about it..
Some of the girls like red, yellow, and pink kind of made me feel a little more confident on how I play, im not the best nor do I have experience but I know for sure you dont hit the ball with your fingers OR CATCH THE DARN THING🧍🏻♀️tryouts are in 9 days and I've been practicing a lot wish me luck
You got this😁👌
@@mikihi1592 thanks
we have tryouts the same day! good luck
@@stephhqc thanks
@@uh-gy4cn
trying out tommorow and i don't have knee pads lol 😭😭 wish me luck
I dont know if i want to do cheer or volleyball cause i like dancing but i can remember 20 minutes worth of dances but volleyball you just pay attencion stay in you place and hit the ball
noooo volleyball is WAY more than that. Takes a lot of time and dedication to master. you also move a LOT. In the end you do whichever sport feels right for you
I’m not scared to tryout or nothing I’m just scared of my weight. I am a bigger girl so I don’t want people to judge me or make me feel bad about myself.
Wait y’all I have a question, at tryouts should I flex all I can or just be genuinely like *playing* what I mean by flexing is diving float serving etc. (yes I know those aren’t exactly amazing skills I just learnt how to do them and I’m so proud lmao 😭)
I'm not a professional so please don't take what I say seriously, but if I were you, if I needed to dive, I would, if a float would benefit, then I would do a float serve. The main goal is to not let the ball touch and it all depends on how you do it, so if you know that one of the skills is exactly what you need to do, then go for it!
so next week is my camp, then that monday and tuesday is try outs. then that wednesday is the first practice. 2 weeks after is the first game. so it’s very jammed packed. so i’m so very nervous. i’m going into 7th and it’s a new school. and i’m 5’4. but this is my first time ever playing volleyball so i’m nervous. and kinda scared that i won’t make it. and i’m not good enough. i only have myself to practice with so i make the best out of it i can. i’ll update y’all if i make it :) EDIT: I MADE THE TEAMM
gl
Frick, I'm so nervous I've never played volleyball on a team but I play with my family and I love it so I'm going to try out next week and I don't think I'll make it because I haven't played all summer but I'll edit this and let you know how it goes. This video gave me a little hope. ;)
did u make it?
@@kristen6342 yeah! I made JV2. Tryouts were a lot easier and less stressful than I had anticipated.
i have tryouts like the first week of school and school starts in like 8 days idek, i started playing in 7th and i’m trying out for setter again lol( setter life )
:P I’m a setter too! I’ve been one for two years now.
i’m really nervous. i’m trying out for my 8th grade volleyball and i don’t know how to serve that well i suck it . although i do have faith in myself and i’m trying so hard to tell myself that i will make it! i really hope i do. i haven’t even practiced volleyball ever since covid started and tryouts are this upcoming week. i’m also really nervous cus these girls that talk shit abt my friends and i are trying out too and i feel like there gonna be making fun of me if i fail :/
