1. Call every ball if your about to hit it in any way (say mine, me, got it WITH CONFIDENCE)
2. Be a hard worker and hustle, (you will stick out.)
3. Be eager to be a good teammate (cheer girls on, volunteer for things no one else wants to do.)
4. Volunteer for demos if your confident in that particular thing (ex. if they ask for two volunteers to do a drill.)
5. Be very enthusiastic and not prideful.
6. Don’t use phone during tryouts.
7. Hustle EVERYWHERE (when shagging balls, sprinting, drinks, etc...)shouldn’t really be seen walking.
8. Arrive at tryouts early
9. Wear right clothes (DON’T FORGET KNEEPADS, WEAR SPORTS BRA)
10. Deal with mistakes learn and move on
11. Be prepared athletically
12. BE HUMBLEEE
13. Have Fun
14. Be Confident and yourself
15. Be kind to yourself
I know you all will do great. Please watch the video for more details on each tip. Let me know if u made the team in comments and like this because it kinda took a while. Luv u all girlies, go hustle 💕🏐👏🏽

I will update if I make it! Day 3: nope, didn't make it but that's okay. I'm going to practice and try again in 8th grade. I am going to play on a team away from school in my neighboring town lol
im late but its great thats you tried!!! i have volleyball tryouts soon and i hope i make the team
@@desiii160 same! I hope I make mine, I've been practicing for months! hope you make it! I believe in you!
@@maurimills7495 tryouts are tomorrow 😬im really excited!! hope you do well with yours
@@desiii160 did you make it
@@desiii160 did u make it??
Very helpful, I’m new to school volleyball, but I’ve been doing club for 2 years. I try to stick out and try rly hard because all of the other girls have been playing for much longer. I hope to catch up to them one day, but for now I’ll have to keep putting in lots of effort!
I really want to try out but I’m to scared😬 and I’m a shy person and ever one else in like at lot older then me cause I’m 13
@@zoeyanderson9706 did you make the team??
@@zoeyanderson9706 kinda late but i started when i was 13 so i hope you went for it
@@dalynn7516 i’m gonna do volleyball club as a person who has Never done volleyball and is going to do it in seventh grade do you think I can do it?
@@kezzziahhh yes ofc i haven’t been playing for a year and my made my highschool team (which is a really harsh team to make) even if you don’t make it keep practicing you got it!
i have done volleyball since 7th grade. this is my freshman year at a new school. i’m really. really. scared
madi h Is school volleyball at 7 th grade hard i’m trying out and just wondering :)
@@luzparra360 hi love! i know i'm probably late to write this, but from my experience, 7th grade volleyball isn't too difficult. it's a pretty casual environment, and depending on your coach, it's also chill :)
Hi I know this is late but, Don't be scared ever! I've been playing volleyball since I was in 2nd Grade and I'm now going into 8th grade. I've been playing for over five years and you'd be shocked at watching me mess up with blocks so much. I know people who've been playing for longer than me and they still get nervous at tryouts. It's because of the pressure that's in the environment but overall its a lot of fun and an opportunity to learn. :)
Im going to a camp for my new highschool and im super nervous and im new to volleyball but i have been practicing as much as i can in these last weeks
@@HeyItsASock. cool! Can you give updates
I used all of your advise tips , i practiced multiple of times before try outs !! Thank GOD I MADE THE TEAM !!!! 🥳🥳
That is AWESOME!!! Great job!!
can u please do a serving video?? it’s the one skill that i’m not comfortable with, and it’s the reason why i have not made the team in the past
Keep serving Lydia. Find a wall if U don’t have a net and tape a line about 9’ (way above regulation) serve about 20’ back and do 50-100 serves a day 3-5x a week. No substitute for repetition and muscle memory. Go get em killa!!!
@@fightrrrrr although this wasn't for me, this helps me a lot! I didn't make the team in the past because serving was one of my struggles... I was crying when I got ignored but I kept working towards my dream, a.k.a. serving.
I am still a bit on the struggle now but I have good form and am now trying to hit harder. Anyways besides all that, Tysm!
@@fightrrrrr My ball falls right before the net do you have any tips?
@Australian Girl LIFT WEIGHTS, ARM CIRCLES, PUSH UPS, PRACTICE USING FAST SWINGS, if you are strong your serves are more likely to go over, swing through the ball. toss low and swing, not too low, but not high enough to where you have time to think
i hope this helped!:)
Do you serve under hand or over?
Daughter trying out today for 14’s top team coming off 8 years of gymnastics and this video was incredibly helpful and undeniably well spoken!! Excellent excellent ADVICE
Thank you so much! Good luck to your daughter!
When i was in 5th grade going to 6th i tried out for volleyball and i had NO idea how to play. So i kept practicing and when i tried out for 7th grade i was the strongest athlete there i had gone to other volleyball activities and we would always play at school. The volleyball coach is one of the PE teachers so she always noticed me and she loved me. Thats not the reason i made it tho. Wherever the ball was i was i was diving for balls and even if I couldn’t get the ball i would go for it!
This was so helpful, I have freshmen tryouts in 2 weeks and I hope I make the team
Edit: I unfortunately did not make the team 😂 but don’t let that discourage anyone I didn’t go to the second day of tryouts bc on the first day I legit got spiked in the face with a ball and I had a major bump there for weeks 😭😭 I guess it just wasn’t meant to be.
Did you make it if not try out again so they know your Nama and if you did yesss girl good job
how did it go?
Did you make it?
I unfortunately did not make the team 😂
@@bobthebuilderstan4297aww 😭
this definitely made me less nervous for tryouts. this is my first time trying out but i’ve been working on volleyball for almost 3 years now
How’d it go?
I have tryouts tomorrow and this was a good reminder of what I need to do I am really nervous but I have been playing for 5 years
Me nervous to try out still with 4 years of experience 👁👄👁
Lmao same here
One things I can say is when a teammate messes up tell them that it’s okay coach value kindness and comfort towards other players
ive never played volleyball but i have club tryouts this weekend 😬
did you make it in?
did u make it
Did you make it
Can you do a video on what to expect during a tryout?
MY FIRST TRYOUT IS IN 15 MINS ILL UPDATE YALL!
I didnt get in 😭
That's okay. At least your tried out! Maybe next year!
mine is in an hour 😭😭
@@artemist499 did you make it
@@naomi-vk9ro nope :(( also nice pfp :)
This changed my whole mindset
i’m so out of shaped too i barley worked for 40 minutes with them and i was slowly going down and feeling lightheaded
Am I the only one who's school doesn't do try outs but just let's people join probably because there's not alot of people who join
Me watching this before my first pre-season practice for my new coach
I have tryouts in a month, we’ve had practice all summer and I’ve been doing camps! These tips were super helpful, I’ll keep you updated!!
let us know if u make it!! good luck!!
I’m new, so you have any single person training things I could? I’m super nervous haha
@@Csck365 Good luck! You can do it!! I remember my first year of volleyball, I was so nervous, but now, I’m a great player with confidence! I believe in you!!!
@@Csck365 a few main single person things just passing or setting to self it really helps with ball control or pass set hit and setting against a wall it really helps!
@@user-im4td8ow5x thanks! I’ll let you know tryouts are in 3 days
This is so helpful I didn’t make my school team last year and this year I have more confidence!!
This was so helpful been playing 2 years this still helps
hey! my first tryouts are soon, I was just wondering (since you've been playing for a while) do you have too be skinny to be on volleyball? I'm a little chunky but I think I'm pretty good at it. I also have pretty good athletic abilities. I was just wondering if coaches would pre-judge me bc of my size. thanks!
@@maurimills7495 I don’t think so, i’ve seen professional volley ball athletes who aren’t very slim or skinny
@@eve8287 thanks!
@@maurimills7495 you definitely dont have to be skinny! I’m pretty “average” whatever that means lol and you definitely don’t need to have a certain body size!
What should I show up to tryouts with (I’ve never played) like already wearing my gear? Or not?
Thanks so much! I’m a middle schooler and have tryouts on the 13th of September, these tips made me slightly more confident since I’m not very athletic and have never done sports, plus over 40 other people are trying out so that made my confidence go down all the way to hell so thanks a lot! 🙏
did u make it? :o
@@erin-zy9uz no :(
@@asimplesimp9820 hope you make it this year :)
Thank you so much! This makes me feel much better for tryouts.
Hiiiii, it’s fearless from yesterday’s live stream. Thank you so much for making this vid, I really need it!!!! 🏐💞✨🤟🏽😅
Thank you for sharing these great tips. I will share them with my daughters.
I lost my knee pads so I borrowed my neighbors and they are the like turtle shell ones
Thank you this will help me out with my now high school 🙏
I have tryouts tomorrow, I watched this video couple months ago but decided to watch it again and hopefully I make it. I'll update if anyone wants to know if I made it.
Did u make it
Did you make it?
Oh I forgot about this comment but I made it
@@valeriatrujillo5635 YAYYYYYYY
Tysm I wanna try out this year!
thank youu❤️ i’ve been playing vb since 6th grade and i’m trying out for freshman and 15u club vb this year
this is so helpful I get really nervous and think about what could happen and that holds me back but I am thinking about trying out for club but I am nervous because I have only done 2 seasons but I am really good people tell me all the time so this was really helpful and I will use this for when I try out.
This will be so helpful when i join a volleyball club, Thanks!
Thank you so much! So helpful
THANK YIU SOOO MUCH ❤️🏐. IM LITERALLY PASSED DAY ONE PF HIGHSCHOOL TRYOUTS AND THIS HELED ME SO MUCH WITH TIPS
Thank you so much! I just had tryouts and and I got in thanks to your advice❤
Hablo español, y este video me ayudó mucho, los tips que das son de gran ayuda. Además de que me ayudaste a entender más el inglés, buen video
Ya when I tried out last season for the first time, I had no experience at all really, I wore Capri leggings 😵😵😵 I was so embarrassed 😳 I made the 16U team but I think it was only cuz there wasn’t enough people 😐 but I have improved sooo much since
Keep improving!!! When u recognize your faults you’re on the way to greatness IF YOU WANT IT BAD ENOUGH!! GO GET EM CLAUDIA!!!
What did ever one else wear
@@zoeyanderson9706 they all wore short and tight black shorts, and the. Like a tee shirt. Then socks (long are best btw) and court shoes.
I’m picking my course selection for high school, and the form is due in 3 days. I’m having a lot of trouble picking if I should play volleyball or not because I have no former experience. I am terrified of tryouts because I know there will be people with a lot of experience and more potential. I am worried about calling mine and I don’t know what position to play, because I’m a very quiet person. I’m panicking wether or not I should play volleyball because I don’t know if it’s the sport I want to play but I don’t have any time. Should I wait until next year to tryout or tryout for club volleyball instead?
I know this is late but with no former experience in highschool tryouts most people trying out will probably have months to years of experience
i’m a incoming sophomore and using these tips helped me a lot. i am currently practicing with varsity.
i’m going i to highschool and trying out this week! i’m super excited and tbh i don’t rlly care what team i make i just want to play.. good luck to everyone trying out!
I wanna play volleyball when I’m older and these tips will definitely help me
#1. Be the loudest person on the court- communication
#2. Be the hardest worker on the court -- Staying focused, sprint faster
#3. Be eager to be a good teammate- pick up cones after tryouts
#4. Volunteer for demos
#5. Be excited to be there
#6. NO PHONES 📵
#7. Hustle everywhere
#8. Show up EARLY- stretches, gear, warm ups
#9. Where gear- Hair up, Not much jewelry, sports bra, t-shirt, running shorts/spandex, knee pads, socks, volleyball shoes
#10. Deal with mistakes well - learn from it
#11. Be prepared
#12. Be humble - congratulate other people, be coachable
#13. Have fun
#14. Be yourself
#15. Be kind to yourself
so the thing is I don’t wanna buy knee pads until if I do make the team afterwards so is it ok if I wear leggings? or will that make me less likely to be on the team?…
@@YTLaviCrystal I honestly don’t know either but I wanna make sure I make a good impression and wearing knee pads seems to show that you’re prepared.
Thank you so much!!!
This was so helpful I’m freshman and try outs are two week from now 😭😩 so Ty!
Love you’re vids💕
this was so helpful because i have tryouts tomorrow ahhhh
did u make it?
How it gooo
I just want to thank you for this video! I tried out for Junior Varsity Boys this week with about 10 days of experience with volleyball and made it through! It was 3 days long and now I'm super sore but we're having a training session on Monday to finalise the team and I'm praying that I don't get cut at the last moment! That would be an absolute tragedy haha.
There were also about 30 boys trying out for just JV so the competition was actually really tough.
did you make it?
@@looow6457 yup!
@@ryanchoong4714 congrats!
even tho i’m in 2024 this was really helpful. i’m a sophomore and i’ve never played team volleyball but i’m trying out for my highschool team. i’m 6’ but i do need to work on some skills
me too 😭 same grade same lack of experience but hopefully we make it
This helped so much! I feel really confident for volleyball tryouts! Thanks for the great advice! ;)
This was so helpful! I have club tryouts next weekend and I'm nervous so it helped a lot@
Gonna try out for the high school men’s volleyball team next year! Gotta prepare way in advance! 💪
Perfect time to see this, I have tryouts today 😭 Wish me luck
Good luck!!!
How did it go?
I’m trying out tomorrow and I’m very scared but very confident ngl imma keep u updated
I used all of your advise tips , thankyou soo much i practiced multiple of times before try outs !! and YASS I MADE THE TEAM !!!! 🥳🥳
Thank this helps so much I’m so nervous for my volleyball tryouts
I have tryouts tomorrow 😳😳😳
Did u make it?
how’d it go?
my tryouts are tomorrow 😭im scared but excited!! but did you make the team?
What did y’all wear cuz I need to know
@@zoeyanderson9706 you’ll need running shorts or spandex, a t-shirt or vest kinda thing, running shoes or volleyball shoes, and knee pads but it really depends on the coach
i never play volleyball as one of the team, and we have try out tomorrow! wish me luck:)
Thx for helping im trying out for our mens volleyball team soon
tysm for the tips, i had no volleyball experience (teams) but I did play in my backyard. i listened to these tips, guess what? i made my cities most prestigious volleyball team! tysm ily
That is so awesome to hear! I'm so glad my tips were helpful for you!!
So glad I found this video! I’ve played park district volleyball for 5-6 years and I finally decided to try out for club. I’m very nervous because tryouts are in 2 weeks. I’ll keep you guy’s updated.
Did you make it?
@@tzitzitzitzi5360 Yes! I made national team!
@@pamela585 omgg good for u
Im always early to my practices, usually I'm waiting outside the gym for the coaches to arrive. When they do they unlock the storage closet and get everything out which I immediately start putting the poles in the gym and pulling the net out. Usually this is before the start time but it really just depends on when the coaches get there(sometimes they get there earlier than other days). By then some more people would have shown up and starts helping. But how they run our practices is like: you show up at the time it starts, we set up the nets(the pads and all the other stuff too). Then, we run like 4-6 laps(which includes going up and down stairs ). We do dynamics warm ups and stretches, after we warm up our arms and serve(we usually do setting warm ups too). All of this during our practice time :((((. I wish we could come early to set up and do our warm ups so we can have the full 2 hours of practice.
Thank you so much💕
Tysm girliee my tryouts are in two days this really helps!
Thanks so much my tryouts are on monday
Im going to volleyball tryouts in 20 minutes and I have no experience but this helped a lot. thank you
wish me luck volleyball tryouts are in 2ish weeks💞
did you make the team??? hope you did!
I am so happy I found you on tiktokkkkk!!!! Mine are coming up in about a month and I’m TERRIFIEDDDD
To anyone watching this with a while before tryouts for club. Do extra camps so coaches can see you play! My friend injured her arm before tryouts but she went to so many camps she made the #2 team!
I’m completely new to volleyball I’ve only been playing for about a month and didn’t expect tryouts to be so soon so I’m not sure if I’m ready but I have practice and I hope everything I’ve learned comes out to play tomorrow
This was really helpful cause I kinda did miss for 2 weeks but thank u for making me feel confident for myself 😁
Djk34💘💝💖 are you single how you are
@@djkreigline2760 ?
This was so helpful
The 30 minutes early rule is so true!! On my previous team we weren’t allowed to play if we showed up later than 30 minutes early
i just saw this on tik tok and came here! This is so helpful i have club try outs today
We have to get to the locker rooms 30 sometimes 40 minutes early. We have to change into my school attire cuz it has the logos and we have to play with kneeguards and sometimes elbow pads for when we dive. Yea I'm in 8th grade BTW incase u were wondering lol
That was so helpful thank you! I play back Row usually so would you recommend wearing sleeves or elbow pads better
I’ve never played volleyball in my whole life or seen a volleyball game but i want to start doing volleyball
Ooh I’m trying out in 2 weeks! I hope this helps.
Thank you.
I don’t even play Volleyball as my school don’t do it but I’m watching this because why not? If school decide to do volleyball then this may become useful.
I used all these for my tryouts and made the first round of tryouts! 🤗 I have my final one tomorrow wish me luck! ❤️
Did you get in?
Im trying out for my school’s 8th grade volleyball team in about 3 weeks. Remind me to come back when tryouts r over so i can say if i made the team or not. 🫶🏻 go otms tigers! 💪
I kinda wish there was like a team for the people who didn't make it so they can actually have expectations in sports so they can know what to do for the upcoming years
Tysm! Tomorrow is my tryout day. I hope I can make it! Going for setter.
Hey! Did you make it?
Did you make it?
I'm trying out tommorow!!
Thanks for this video i made team manager for the a team
Did she just say "Shagging balls?" Every Australian just laughed out loud.
getting ready for volleyball tryouts like so I can remember to come back to this and share the results!!
How’d it go???
@@waste.of.thyme09 It's good i made it on the team
@@ayooo3931 Nice :) Good for you!!
@@waste.of.thyme09 Thanks
i’m a sophomore and i have tryouts on wednesday and thursday, so i’m just watching a lot of these videos. wish me luck!😭💛
Did you make it?
How it gooo
I love you’re videos and I was just wondering if you could get recruited to a college team without playing club
it’s possible but most collage coaches love going to club tournaments because there’s tons of girls right there. But if you contact coaches and send in videos it’s possible
Thank you a lot
This is going to help with volleyball tryouts
i’m in sixth grade and i’m thinking about joining volleyball in 2024.. i have a trip in the middle of summer and it would be during volleyball i’m pretty sure so i don’t wanna miss any volleyball if it goes through summer
This is very helpful, and they provide the stuff except for the bras of course but I’m in 8th grade and it’s my first time
I personally use turtleshell kneepads because I dont like my knees getting hurt, I have both pairs of kneepads but just prefer thicker ones
I'm trying out for Volleyball today so I have to get advice from a professional (Thxx)
I go to a small school and my rival team and our team combined sports. We don’t need “try-outs” but I’ve been on C-Squad for the past 3 years and I’m going into 11th grade. It sucks because last name matters and everything is rigged and I know I’m a good player but I get under appreciated because of my older siblings throwing parties.
