I definitely know some girls on my team aren't coachable because they think they know better
Ikr!! I hate that soooo much 🙄🙄🙄 😂😂😂
Plot twist you were one of those girls
Ive watched this 3 times already, tryouts in 3 hours! Wish me luck!
I didnt make the team
Mohammed Mohammed damn it’s ok work harder and try your best next time just keep practicing and pushing yourself....
Mine are Monday, I have a decent amount of skill and a “positive” attitude but I’m still freaking out
@@mohammedmohammed1743 did they tell u why
@@mohammedmohammed1743 its ok bro
This is a great video!!!I am 13 and I am only 4'9" and I'm a libero but I am relatively strong in all the positions. I am trying out for a new club this year, but I've played for about 6 years and I just want to tell anyone that is reading this comment that all you need is a good attitude. Like he said be coachable and always thank the coaches after every practice and try out you attend
_makeup.madison_ ❤❤❤
lol me wanting to see someone who's under 5'0 and can spike well. im sure youre good tho lol libero position is fun :( too bad im too tall to be that flexible and close to the floor
Madison Groppe i literally thought i was the only 13 year old who's 4'9 omg
I'm so happy I'm not the only one
@Whitney Ward im 2 and 700 feet
You hit this video right on the point! This is exactly me! I absolutely hate it when people think that I can't beat any guys who are taller than me! I'm on 5'6 but man I worked so hard to beat players who are 6'0+
I barely play volley ball but for the past few months I've been running,jumping,spiking,digging, and doing everything to get on the volleyball team. This really helped me alot so thanks Coach donny:)
same
did you get on the team?
1st day of tryouts were today! I got noticed by the coaches twice!!! We have two more days so I’ll keep you guys updated! I hustled everywhere I had to be and surprisingly I’m super good at setting😁 I’ve never played before and this is for school
I MADE ITTTTT
@@sophia.pleva27 that’s amazing congratulations
I followed this at my tryouts and I made it onto a club team that was a long shot! Thanks for your help!!!
my guy in the back is clenching lmao
jeez im late teehee
@@pinkfriday1885 trust me I'm later
I have never played volleyball before and I have become interested in it for awhile and watching you and playing with people who have experience helps me thank you!!!
Reading all the comments, damm everyone tall 😂😂
deffinately going to work harder in these areas, got cut from varsity a couple days ago but I'm taking it as a "u didn't make it this time, but u can get better" was taking 15 and 17 guys were there. This is an awesome video!
my tryouts are on wednesday. i thought they were in september , but i was just told today they were this week! wish me luck :)
I wonder how it went
I love this channel, thank you, coach, i've just arrived from my tryouts as a regular outside spiker standing at 5'5 and reaching 10'2! I was the shortest outside spiker and i still managed to get in the team, even the libero from my team is higher than me, I just want to thank you for everything coach Donny, I've been inspired by you a whole lot.
Keep the great work coach and again, thanks a lot.
So thoughtful of you to make videos like these, thanks again Donny!
You were on point!! This video is very helpful considering the fact that I have not successfully made the team yet after multiple tries. But when I watched this, I realized I've got a lot more to learn. Thanks for pointing these out!! I will definitely share your videos to my other friends who are aspiring to be a good player. 😊
We have tryouts tomorrow, I've been watching your videos for about 2 years now and I've learned a lot from them. If I make the team it's for you Coach Donny!
Thankyou coach Donny
for inspiring many people
Thankyou so much 🙌🙌
I have tryouts on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday and I’m so excited and pumped :)
Day 2 try outs today 😳😳😳
So far so good I think! Try outs are still going on, but I'll let you know!
I made the second cut... The fact that these try outs are going on for so long have my nerves on fire ahhhh
Elevate Yourself I MADE IT!
congrats !
Aimi Toyama congrats ! can you give us some tips ?
I almost started crying when he said experience😭. I have been practicing nonstop for about 7months and went to a few mini training camps to try to boost my skill (the camps were fun for the most part, but I was always the worst one there). I haven’t actually played a real game but I try to get in reps with my aunts team. I don’t see her often and they always make me water girl 😔. Literally all of my friends have been telling me that it’s too late or that I don’t have the experience to play. I know!, awesome friends right😑 Idk what the purpose of this rant was. I guess to get my frustrating feeling out 😪anyways...
either way, i’m proud of you for aiming for opportunities to play despite all of your obstacles
It’s never too late to try out for volleyball, i know some people who had made the team even when they started out late. Plus even if you get cut, use it as a learning opportunity. And More often than not it’s good to ask the coach why you got cut so you can get growth. Always remember you got this! :))
Maybe you should research more about volleyball games like know all the positions, rotations, and what the rules are so you can be a little bit more prepared when you actually play
Lol is never too late. There is a professional volleyball player in the men's poland league and he started playing when he was 17 so u can still go for a team whenever u want. There is no age for volleyball
Try Going to open gyms
This is perfect because I have been at around 2 volleyball camps, and I have improved so much. I actually might make it on the team in a few months!
i have tryouts on sunday, im really nervous and even though u posted this in 2016, i would just like to say thank u for truly showing me all the important work ethics i should have for tryouts! wish me luck!
This is so helpful! I'm trying out for my JV D1 high school team and I'm really nervous since I've never played-this helped me learn what I need to focus on over the summer!!
I have tryouts in like a week and you’ve taught me everything I will and need to know about volleyball mechanics
What an absolutely great video! 👍100% 👊 Keep helping & educating people man!
Thank you so much! I have been training for months and tryouts are in a week! I'm a 5'7 freshman but I'm training to make Varsity. In that way even if I fail to make Varsity I could make JV, which is still pretty impressive. I hope to be spiker even if I'm not too tall.
Another great video can’t wait to apply what I learned in this video into my practice
Im a 5'7 freshman female whos never played volleyball before and i dont know what position i should play but ive watched alot of volleyball videos and practiced with my own volleyball and im willing to learn and put in the work
Thank you soooo much! This helped a ton! I hope to make the team next month
I’m only 5’6 and want to be a strong side hitter for my school team this will help me improve my game on the court!
Thanks Couch Donny!
I am a 5'6 7th grader and I have only played volleyball with my family. Im new and dont know as much so I look for tips and tricks. tryouts are soon and this video really helped. Some of the videos ive been watching didnt really help as much as yours. So thank you!
Thank you so much! This helps, I am not the tallest person and I barely practiced before this season in volleyball. Next year is 13's and I am so scared of not making a team, because both years I barely made one. The coaches at my tryouts are brutal and only take a few glances and if you mess up in those glances they cross you off the list. Another thing is try to go to every single clinic and camp etc you can for the team, the coaches will know you and what you're good at and pay more attention to you. Another thing, if you aren't tall, try doing jumps onto higher surfaces with your feet together 50 times a day in the summer, it boosts up your jumps a LOT! Also, use a hard ball to practice if you still use a light ball, strengthens your arms and trains you to be ready when you do start hard balls. Thank you for taking time out of your day to read this, play hard!
Also, the real kicker is just to practice your butt off.
I’m stocking up on these kind of videos to give me advice and hype me up for tryouts! Mine are on Tuesday so if you can, wish me luck and pray for me!!
Did u make it?!
This videos of yours Coach Donny helps me a lot. 😊😁
I have try outs this Friday and this video definitely helped me and made me more confident
thanks couch donny! minnesota’s having their first volleyball season and my tryouts r next week. hopefully i’ll make it!
Not to correct you but it's funny as all hell that I sat there very confused by what you meant by couch donny for a good couple minutes
This will definitely help me. Thank you coach. Hopefully hopefully hopefully i can do the things you said. Thanks. 😊
Thanks Coach Donny! hopefully this will help me make your team again next year! :)
thank you coach donny!
its a good reminde rto be coachable, all i need to do is to controll myself and enjoy the game.
I have volleyball try outs in a couple of days and I'm so nervous. Well I made the team last year but I'm scared that I might not make it this year.
Did u make the team?
The fans wanna know..🥺
I'm trying out for my 8th grade volleyball team in 3 days and I'm so nervous. At my school we separate the teams by A team, B team, and C team. I really don't want to make C team so I looked up videos that could help and this popped up. I'm super glad to hear that he said mostly what the A team coach said that they're looking for. This really helped. I'm also really short so it's harder for me but I think I'm good enough to at least make B team. Thanks
Thank you so much!!!! Try outs are in 5 days and i hope this makes me more ready :))
Thank you so much coach, i am going to try out for my schools volleyball next year and I'm going to be practicing these skills and skills on the court until then
Your videos helped me alot , I just made my High school Boys JV team , thanks so much 👍💪
thank you so so much i definately learn about this.
Coach Donny I would like to thank you for all the tips and skills that you have taught me. Today is the last day of tryouts and throughtout the whole week I've tried to use all of the steps and I think it worked. I already made the JV team at my school since we only have about 8 trying out for JV. I've improved so much in the things that I wasn't good at last year. I hope to start this year and become better each day. p.s I'm an outside hitter and I can finally jump and spike hard due to your videos
Elevate Yourself Hi. I have tryouts today and tomorrow. I know that I have to run a half mile in under 4 minutes. I'm not a runner but I've played volleyball my whole life and I am pretty good. If I don't make the time will that effect my impression? I'm so scared!!!! Thanks
Thanks a lot donny! It may be an old video but I made it on the team thanks to you!
Thanks a ton, im trying out for my first club team, hope i make it!
Thank you I've been worried about tryouts since summer!
Thank you coach donny! I tried out for Junior Varsity Boys this week with about 10 days of experience with volleyball and made it through! There were about 30 guys trying out for just JV so it was pretty competitive. It was 3 days long and now I'm super sore but we're having a training session on Monday to finalise the team! I'm praying that I don't get cut at the last moment! That would be an absolute tragedy haha.
Just tried out Yesterday! :) Hope I make the team.
Thank you so much coach, I watched most of your training clips.
My tryouts are tomorrow. I've been watching you videos for tips and drills I can use for practice. This has boosted my confidence tons thank you
Oceana Goodell mine are on wednesday! how did yours go?
Congratulations on 100k
Thanks for this! I just now saw it I have tryouts tomorrow and I was so scared but this was very reassuring
Thank you so much this was so helpful!👌
Thank you for this video Coach Donny! I related so much haha ^-^
Try outs are in about a month for my school team. Though I've never played setter, I'm going to try out for it since we don't have one. I'm going to work in all 5 areas and hit the gym and go on runs all month! Thanks for the inspiration Coach Donny!!
Elevate Yourself Will do! :)
Did u make it?
I have never played volleyball and I want to try it so I tryout for the team. Our school doesn’t have boy volleyball jv I don’t think I can compete with the junior and seniors ( as a freshmen) :(
Thank you so much coach Donny!
I wish I could have seen this before starting varsity five years ago. I think I got in because the members were getting fewer; they never taught me things that I only learned from Coach Donny, and whenever the ball came to me, I'd just bring it to the other court (chance ball) because I didn't know about setting that time. They'd just let me hit the ball and train with them, but they never gave me any feedback. I wasn't feeling it anymore and quickly became lazy, so I quitted, which I wouldn't do again if I could go back. And here I am playing volleyball and training in our garage alone. Regretting for not being able to play to my full potential.
I can't join any sports teams anymore because I need to concentrate on becoming a psychologist. Goodluck to everyone and I hope you make to the team, if no one will teach you, teach yourself. Wish I could've done it sooner.
Thank you so much for this video, it was very helpful! I'm a 6'1 incoming 10th grader and I really want to make Varsity this year :)
Awesome stuff!
Great Tips Thank you coach
I'd like to add that in my opinion: Coachability is THE MOST IMPORTANT...
I've seen guys that have so much potential but is just so big headed that their game hasn't grown at all in 2 years.
Listen to coach Donny PEOPLE!!!! To become the best, you have to LISTEN!!!
Tryouts tmrw, keep ya'll posted
Tryouts are today, wish me luck.. thanks coach Donny
tysm!! you helped me so much
I’m a freshman and today my teacher announced which players are on the varsity team and Jv team. I made the varsity team!! By the way I’m the only freshman that made the team when there were 7 or 8 others, I’m not trying to act all that I’m just stating facts. Wish me good luck on my first game on Friday!!!
No shame in tootin your horn on the internet! Although I am an entire high school career late xD
a little creeped out that this video showed up in my recommended, i have tryouts tmro. Thanks donny!
i am a 5'4 sophomore, and i have played volleyball last year, but for fun in my P.E class. I have also been playing this year and tryouts are in the summer. I really want to make it to the team, knowing that i am late and i should've been in it during freshmen year. I have been researching on how to play, and i understand how to bump and set, but i am not so hot in overhand serves or spikes. still practicing on that. Are there any more tips you can give?
Thank You!
Maryam Rauf did you make it? Bc i have the same problem I struggle a lot with serving
Natalie stefanie keep practicing and practicing and practicing, when i first started i could not get any serves over, plus i'm 5'2. But i kept practicing and now i can jump serve :) keep practicing and you will get it, and not just servjng but practice in all areas as well
Maryam Rauf thanks!!
the trick to overhand serving is to really turn into it. i had your problem last year. Hope you made it!
VOLLEYBALL TRYOUTS FOR ME ARE TMRW! IVE NEVER PLAYED OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL
AYAY TYSM
hope u made it
Thank you so much I made the team! and practice tomorrow
Thanks im in middle school and im really short, not even 145 centimeters. But thanks to your tips I made it in and is now playing libero.
I've always been one of the best in school but since our schools don't really focus on sports, especially smth like volleyball (basketball is dominant) I think that I'd be the worst one in an actual volleyball club which is motivating
Tryouts in 20. Thank you coach!
Best of luck!
i would really appreciate it if you made a video about how a libero can stand out in tryouts. I have heard many people saying how important being tall really is but I still wonder whether height really plays a role even when you re a libero!
Eya Pap it doesn’t matter how tall you are going for the ball even if it seems impossible to get it go for it. The coaches will see this and really like this.
I love this video now I'm kinda certain im gonna make the team
HEY Coach Donny, i've been doing club this offseason, but i'm still pretty slow at sprints can you make a video about how to improve my speed for short distance? THANKS so much for this video, i'll keep these in mind during tryouts next year :))
Thanks for the video coach donny, can you make a video about a training routine to do in easter to get ready to the tranings after easter? (I will join to a team and I want to be ready) thanks
+Elevate Yourself thank you very much coach donny
I'm 14 and 5'5! I'm a middle blocker but I can also be a wing spiker. I've been playing for around 6 months, tbh my hope is probably my athleticism. I mean I'm pretty fast, reaction time is good and my vert is a solid 31". I was thinking of maybe taking lessons at the team first but I haven't got time for that rn. I have 4 months till I hit 15 years old so I haven't got much prime time left for improvement so I rlly hope I make it.
I'm an 8th greater trying out for high school volleyball next year. I know for a fact I'll be going to open gym,in summer, ANY chance I get, so i can practice before tryouts. I'm asking my P.E. Teacher for help on whatever she can coach me on. I made the volleyball team this school year after playing it for fun last year P.E. im searching videos on tips to make the team. This video is certainly helping
SIR YES SIR!
I made my volleyball team cause of u
Thanks for the video coach Donny. Can u make a video about how to stay energetic the whole day during tournaments or playoffs?
sleep early, have light breakfasts, drink little water but regularly, keep yourself entertained, dont stop playing too long between matches. hope this helped
i’m not too sure when my tryouts are yet because the coach hasn’t said much but wish me luck ahhh 💜
Day 3 tryouts tomorrow!! 😱
I missed the first day tryouts last week 😭
hey coach donny, i think i excel in work ethic because im always looking for open gyms to play at and always looking for my mistakes. unfortunately, i cant afford clinics, camps, or club. ive shown my college coach that i want to play but its so hard to get consistent good practice because of this.
+Elevate Yourself i actually keep a journal on the things i learn every week in order to not forget them later on and have to relearn simply because i forgot. As of right now, i dont really have a close friend that is motivated but that wont keep me from trying to find that person. Also, when you refer to working on one aspect at a time, do you mean to only work on (for the sake of an example) a certain aspect of passing such as receiving hard hits, floats, etc?
I'm trying out for a club team this season, and I've been watching videos of the team I'm trying out for and they're really good I'm so scared!! I know little tips and tricks like what to wear to make you look more athletic and promising, don't cross your arms because it'll make you look sassy, always smile, etc etc but I'm still very scared😬 these girls are so good!!
I'm gonna try out for a team next winter, and not to sound cocky I think I have all of these except organized volleyball experience, I've only played beach in a rec league with adults and only co ed because there are no boys in my area that play. BUT I feel like I can translate what I've done in outdoor to indoor
playing an international travel team at 13! thanks for the tips :)
I'm 16 and I genuinely want to tryout for a club team. I've been playing on school volleyball teams for about 7 years, and I feel like club would really help me improve my skills. I've been playing the Libero position ever since I entered high school. I feel as though my skills don't compare to those who have been playing club for years .. I'm also really short aha. I feel discouraged every time I think about it, but to be honest I'm willing to work for it. Thanks for the tips! You really inspired me!
Can you make a tutorial on how to safely pancake a ball? There are times in games when I want to but too scared to hurt my shoulder. Thanks
Your videos are super helpful. Post more open gym games they are fun to watch.
1:44 My Little Giant dreams have been revived
We don’t have try outs but I’m here because I’ve had two coaches from college volleyball scout me out. One came to shake my hand while the other one gave me a shout out on a state website so I’m trying to stand out a bit more since that coach gave me a shout out
Hi coach, what kind of routine or drills can help you to have a better reaction time. Thank you.
+José Sánchez there is special ball where you bounce it against a wall and it rebounds in different direction and speed you can get at any sports place even Walmart or Canadian tire. This will help with reflexes and reaction time
I would say I pass for everything on the list of what the coaches are looking for except for.... experience. I've never been on a volleyball team, yet people assume in my P.E. class that I do, since they say I'm good at it. I would like to go to volleyball camp for our school or play volleyball at the Y, but that's during the summer. I have a volleyball meet tomorrow for information on joining the team... so.. wish me luck? :P
Does intensity include pushing my self through the workouts? For my team we have to run a lap in less than 2 minutes which is difficult for me because of a previous knee energy but i always try to push through and i decrease my time each run. and also we do workouts around the gym and i always try to support my workout partner and other girls and i also try to push myself and not stop
Club tryouts today lets hope I make it.
