My tryouts are November 4th! i prommise its the 4th... i think Also my Nekoma hoodie came in the mail yesterday. It's so softttt :3 Edit: I made the JV team
I have tryouts tomorrow and I just want to thank Coach Koko for teaching me all that I know. Idk where I would be if I never stumbled upon her channel. THANK YOU SO MUCH KOKO!!! Update: I MADE THE TEAM YAYAYAYAYAYAY
@@chickens-senpai8722 this shit happens to me, but it's when I dance. When I drink water, even just drinking about 3 gulps, my stomach hurts after dancing a few steps. I HATE IT WHEN IT HAPPENS.
😭😭😭 I’ve had practice for the past 5ish months and the first few practices were so awkward (FYI I’m in 9th grade with no sport experience), I’ve kinda improve in my social anxiety but my skills not so much, I have tryouts tomorrow but I’m pretty sure I’m not going to make it 😭😭
could you do a video where you explain at each level (like 6th, 7th, 8th grade and etc.. )the skills you should acquire and drills you should be able to do. like how many balls can u pass to ur self and you should be able to overhand serve. i’m going into 8th grade and i’m curious what skills i should get better at. thanks!
Hi! Coming from a college volleyball player and a 18u club coach, I would say don't go off of skills by age. Find players you aspire to be and then set goals to constantly better yourself. Once you complete a goal, make it more challenging. We all develop at different ages in life so just do what you are able to do and push your own limits, don't compare yourself to those around you! As far as overhand serving, I would definitely work on developing that because it is much more aggressive. Lastly, become well rounded and improve in all areas so you can be used wherever a coach needs you! Hope this helps.

I’m trying to teach my 2 year old brother to play volleyball! Right now I’m trying to teach him how to pass he’s doing pretty good😸 I think he’s better than me already-
My little brother's 3, If I try to get him to play volleyball, He will most likely pick up the ball and throw it at me 😃 Edit: I tried to teach him the other day, he did infact throw it at me
I’m in 9th grade and I’m trying out for my highschool team tomorrow and I have no experience but I’ve been practicing and watching these videos I’ll update how I did!!!! I’m so nervous 😭 UPDATE: Day 1/5 done it went really well today! I would say like 15 other new people joined too (we split into a group with new people and returning players) so it wasn’t as intimidating Beforehand I’ve been practicing on my own and worked on controlling the ball and it REALLY payed off I’ll write everything that happened because I know people (like me) would want to know what happened and to know what to expect Day 2/5 done: we focused on hitting today which is one of my weaker areas so I’m not sure how I’m feeling about it 😬 Sorry skipped a few days I was exhausted I’m in the car going to my last tryouts day and I’m finding out if I made it or not :) UPDATE 3/5/21 I MADE IT ON!!!! I’m so proud of myself the coach told me that I really seemed to enjoy playing and put in a lot of effort I think half of the freshman were cut and a few upperclassmen. I know I wasn’t perfect at everything for example hitting and serving was pretty rough receives were good so as long as you put in the effort, go for the ball, communicate, you’ll have a good shot! INCOMING ESSAY: First I arrived and tryouts were for jv and varsity so people up to senior year were there and at the beginning I thought that was so scary (but not at all you’ll see!) I already knew a girl (she’s new too) there so we walked to the gym together and all the girls were on the benches with their bags and getting settled so we both sit down and then I think it was the older girls but they started setting up the nets and then later on everyone was standing up and grouped together and in my case all the freshman were talking together and then the coach yelled for us to do 3 laps around the gym and so we did (leader started cutting corners lolll) it wasn’t excruciatingly tiring I wouldn’t say I’m extremely out of shape and after that I think we got water and then we had to spread out and do stretches (water break again) and we huddled in a group and the coach explained the teams and how they’re trying to get 14 max on each (jv and varsity) and then she said to partner up with someone you didn’t know and for the experienced players to partner up with the new players (very scary at first) and a really really really really nice girl came up to me and said “do you need a partner?” I swear she was the nicest girl I’ve ever met and first (sorry I have to go to sleep it’s 12:35 am and I have to get up early 😭 I’ll continue later I could honestly make my own video about this I’m thinking about it) FINAL UPDATE 3/28: I’ve been playing on the team for a few weeks now (it’s been going well :)) but I wanted to come back and add a few things ADVICE: -I think going for the ball was a REALLY important thing because looking back now I think a lot of the girls who were cut were the ones who usually just stood there -don’t worry about serving, my team still has a few girls who can’t serve over the net (I couldn’t either but I learned a technique: hit the ball towards the bottom of your hand I know the coaches will tell you to hit with your whole palm and when I tried that I kept slapping the ball and after I started hitting towards the bottom I started getting it over the net! But I don’t want to mess anyone up so do whatever’s best for you 😅 -get the ball pretty high up (tbh I didn’t learn this until after tryouts) but when you receive and set make sure it’s a little high so others can get it -have fun! Don’t be that one person that doesn’t look like they want to be there because 1) you wanna have fun in the first place 2) it come off as good and a team player -also if this makes anyone less nervous I had tryouts for a week and I ended up getting excited to go everyday after the beginning! It was nice to play with new people but I also don’t know what other people’s situations are like so this was my personal experience -JUST TO CLARIFY: my state isn’t big on volleyball so I was very lucky since most public middle schools didn’t offer it but my high school is also very competitive when it comes to sports -Also the advice I’m writing now is after tryouts and Ive been on the team so it might come off as really intimidating like “uh oh I have to be super good” but no, literally none of us were perfect!! and I want to make that really clear! But those were areas that I think were really important now that I look back so I hope this helps!!
I have tryouts for 3 days so I don’t know if I’m on the team yet 😅 but it really wasn’t as scary as I thought since a lot of new people joined too (we got to split into a group for new people) and it turned out to be really fun, the older girls were so supportive but for expectations I recommend to practice the basics for receiving (that was a big thing today) and I know tomorrow is on hitting, the coaches look for teamwork (like calling for the ball) and adaptability if they tell you to fix something
Ayyyy congrats, I'm in 7th and tried out for school, no one was cut because the perfect number tried out and we added someone later, but I also tried for club, there were not many cuts I don't think, just alot of sorting
I've watched haikyuu (i'm obsessed) and i've been practicing playing volleyball this summer and i'm actaully prettyy good. Does any one who's played on a team have any tips for me?
@@chrispyairfriedhyunjin2931 i can do a good underhand serve and my overhand is good just needs power? like to go father but other then that i think my serves are fine but thank you
Hey KoKo I’m trying out in a week or two and I’m really nervous, I started just this summer and you have helped me improve so much! My latest accomplishment is making a good serve! I just wanted you to know that you really made a difference on a little girls life! 🤗
@@lunajz-1584 yeah I did volleyball for like a year and played for club. I won some national level tournaments but I think I’m done with volleyball now, it was fun while it lasted though
I'm trying out for volleyball soon when Corona is over and this really helps, thank you! I love your videos and you have taught me so much about volleyball i don't know how i can repay you
aww it's ok dw you can try harder practice a little more and next time they hold tryouts you can try again, also i'm pretty sure that gives you like a whole year to practice and train
Hey Koko! I am trying really hard to be a setter, i am 12 and 5'6, so I know my coaches will want to put me as a middle blocker, and i kind of want to do both. What should I do? ( also anybody can give me sugesstions i am already setting 400 times a day. )
wait that sounds exactly like me rn. 170cm 12 yr old who wants to play setter but can jump really high. I hope u made setter. Any pointers btw? I want help
Hi! I am a college setter, and 18u club coach. I played middle my freshman year of high school, then switched to setter so kind of relate! Talk to your coach. It is very rare to find players who can go from middle to setting. Make yourself well rounded, it will make it easier to get bids for teams ect. At the end of the day, being open and honest with your coach about where you want to play will get you far. Setters need to be the most positive on the court and the leader, they make all the calls. If you are a good leader, your coach will be much more likely to play you in that position.
I might suggest being a hitter! I know it isn’t one of the positions you mentioned, but your height will help you a lot in the position. When I was 12, I was 5’9”, and being a hitter really helped with the fundamentals of volleyball for me. If you don’t want to be a hitter, that’s totally fine!! :) have fun 💕
i know i’m a bit late but i would suggest either seeing how many setters there already are on your team or practicing both and seeing what your coach wants you to play
I absolutely LOVE your account, it helps me so so much! I am so interested in volleyball. I am currently learning on how to play so I can try out next year in high school, and your videos help me out so much. I've already learned the positions, overhand serve, how to score points, and how to pass all because of you! Thank you so much! I will definitely be watching more of your videos until I make the team!
4:56 now this is probs just my kageyama side, but i HATEEEEEEEEEEEE IT when my teammates are taking their good old time to get a volleyball. HAKSBSKBD NO. I. WANT. TO. PLAY. Yeah sure, we have 4 hours which is plenty of time, but those hours r gonna fly by like sonic. STOP COMPLAINING TO ME THAT WE HAVE ALL THIS TIME, I NEED TO LEARN MORE SO THAT I CAN GO TO A GOOD HIGHSCHOOL!!!! oml, sorry i’m venting lol
@@KokoVolley thank you so much for the encouragement, I didn’t make it but I’ll continue practicing and your part of making me want to continue. Thank you so much for helping me!
3:19 this is the most important thing at my school gym. The gym isn’t air conditioned and people who are practicing don’t realize that they need water, we had a new girl come into practice with us for 3-4 hours (I forget how long) and she ended up passing out because she thought she was fine. She ok now and she’s coming back tmr!
I’m so glad you mentioned hustling after water breaks! Although I haven’t actually been involved in volleyball, I can definitely say that’s important. I did cheerleading for about 3 years and when it was water break, my teammates would go on their phones, socialize, walk away from the team and all that. Then when it came time to practice more, the others would walk back to the team without even getting water (because they were too busy on their phones and whatnot) that made our team fall behind and affected our competition score dramatically. This is also why I’m gonna do volleyball instead of cheerleading this year.
Guys, I know this is 3 years ago and no one’s gonna see this but… PRAY FOR ME!! ❤️❤️ I really want to make the team again this year! I’d love to move up but if I don’t that’s fine too. Working hard rn ❤️
KOKO! This is perfect! My tryouts start tommrow i love youuuu update: it was rlly good i’m proud to say i did my best however they only really took blockers and really yall girls. I was the only one that could hit a serve over the net...i didnt make the team :(
Bailey C it was rlly good i’m proud to say i did my best however they only really took blockers and really yall girls. I was the only one that could hit a serve over the net...i didnt make the team :(
HELLO TRYOUTS ARE TMR AND I AM DOING MY RESEARCH SO UMM YEAH IVE BEEN PLAYING BY MYSELF FOR 7 MONTHS AND IVE BEEN WAITING FOR TRYOUTS SO IMMA UPDATE IF I MAKE THE TEAM OR NOT!! Edit: ANYWAYS I FORGOT TO UPDATE THIS BUT I MAKE ITTT
My inspiration is Haikyuu, I knew I was good at vollyball but I never really did anything about it. After watching I really liked it and started playing more. I’ve been practicing for about 6-7 months and when I get back to school I want to try out for the team. Thanks for the tips!!
hiiii! this year i’m gunna be a freshman, i’m not nervous but i am nervous for try outs cause my school has a very good volleyball team. anyways there’s a volleyball camp for the girls planning on trying out for our school. anyways the camp is tomorrow :) and try outs are in august. i will update you guys everyday of the camp (it’s the 9th - 12th) and then i’ll update before and after tryouts !
I can't believe you left out one important thing to NOT do and that is to bring your cellphone. That's the best way to piss off a coach besides being late. Leave it in the locker AND turn it off.
There wasn’t a try out-😅 I just randomly got in- I suck the most since idk how to hit overhand serves from far back behind the net- also 20% of my serves fail and I don’t even serve from behind the line
So I’m interested in volleyball but I don’t know much about it, just the gist of it. I’m starting 9th grade this year and we got an email from my school that there is volleyball that I could register for. I really wanna get more active so I’m gonna register. I really wanna be at least a little prepared so I’m gonna binge lots of your videos! Thank you for all the videos!
girl/boy/person you got this! i’m sure you have worked hard for this and are getting better and better everyday! don’t be nervous, you just gotta relax, and try your best! and no matter what happens there is always next year, which means you have even more time to train and get better!
Omg how did i just find out about your channel i always wanted someone to tell me tips but i dont have anybody and i just subscribed thank you for all the support your giving me i am entering high school in 8 months i know its early but i wanna make sure i get in and i am ready i wanna be a outside player or a setter btw your braids look really good 😁❤️❤️❤️ i would actually give you 100 dollars every month for all the tips you give me thank you again! ❤️😭
This video is great!!! This year I’m doing volleyball I’m super nervous, practice has already started and all the girls are older because I’m going into 6th grade and in my school you can’t do sports I’m elementary so it’s my first year of sports

Like a week ago I decided that I wanted to try out for volleyball. I’ve never watched anything to do with volleyball then all of a sudden this comes in my recommended like woah. Really good video by the way I appreciate it :)
I really hate it when my ball roll away and when it got to my friends, they will kick it away like CAN'T YOU PICK IT UP FOR ME INSTEAD OF KICKING IT AWAY?!😡
ayup college athlete here this video is really amazing but if u suck at volleyball and u are trying out for a team over hype EVERYTHING cheer for everyone i would not have made the team if i didn’t do that and when i say i sucked i really did. it’s embarrassing at first especially if u are introverted (like me) but i swear it make the experience a lot more fun
I have tryouts either late August or early September and I’m super nervous! I didn’t make the team for 2 years in a row but I’m really hoping that this year I will! Thank you for the tips- I struggle with calling the ball even though I play Libero haha! I’ll definitely keep this in mind :)
I know this was a bit long ago, I wanna try out for volley ball ik how to kinda play, but I don’t know so much like termonalagy I am learning but I wanna try out for a team please any tips help. Also I’m a Muslim so I can’t wear shorts or short sleeves so what do I do?.
My tryouts are Monday Tuesday and Wednesday I made the team last year and got really close with coach I’m still a little nervous cause I haven’t practiced and been focusing on other sports but do y’all have any tips plz
So I wanna do volleyball and I have only done it for fun with my friends and In 5th grade for an after school thing. It’s fun and I really want to play. But Idk..
Starting high school in august and try outs are on the first day of school! I'm so nervous but I've been subscribed to you for awhile so Im less nervous and more excited.
So helpful! I was turned down for my school team after practicing for a while. I was heartbroken and grinded on volleyball. I tryout in July (it’s May). Still on that grind. Thanks for your help Koko! Wish me luck!

FINAL UPDATE 3/28: I’ve been playing on the team for a few weeks now (it’s been going well :)) but I wanted to come back and add a few things
ADVICE:
-I think going for the ball was a REALLY important thing because looking back now I think a lot of the girls who were cut were the ones who usually just stood there
-don’t worry about serving, my team still has a few girls who can’t serve over the net (I couldn’t either but I learned a technique: hit the ball towards the bottom of your hand I know the coaches will tell you to hit with your whole palm and when I tried that I kept slapping the ball and after I started hitting towards the bottom I started getting it over the net! But I don’t want to mess anyone up so do whatever’s best for you 😅
-get the ball pretty high up (tbh I didn’t learn this until after tryouts) but when you receive and set make sure it’s a little high so others can get it
-have fun! Don’t be that one person that doesn’t look like they want to be there because 1) you wanna have fun in the first place 2) it come off as good and a team player
-also if this makes anyone less nervous I had tryouts for a week and I ended up getting excited to go everyday after the beginning! It was nice to play with new people but I also don’t know what other people’s situations are like so this was my personal experience
-JUST TO CLARIFY: my state isn’t big on volleyball so I was very lucky since most public middle schools didn’t offer it but my high school is also very competitive when it comes to sports
-Also the advice I’m writing now is after tryouts and Ive been on the team so it might come off as really intimidating like “uh oh I have to be super good” but no, literally none of us were perfect!! and I want to make that really clear! But those were areas that I think were really important now that I look back so I hope this helps!!
I'm in 10th grade and trying out in a few weeks with no experience. Good luck!! Hope you make it!
@@gamersilence3468 thanks and good luck to you too!!
I have tryouts for 3 days so I don’t know if I’m on the team yet 😅 but it really wasn’t as scary as I thought since a lot of new people joined too (we got to split into a group for new people) and it turned out to be really fun, the older girls were so supportive but for expectations I recommend to practice the basics for receiving (that was a big thing today) and I know tomorrow is on hitting, the coaches look for teamwork (like calling for the ball) and adaptability if they tell you to fix something
@@lilywang2245 Thank you! That helps a lot!!
Ayyyy congrats, I'm in 7th and tried out for school, no one was cut because the perfect number tried out and we added someone later, but I also tried for club, there were not many cuts I don't think, just alot of sorting
I've watched haikyuu (i'm obsessed) and i've been practicing playing volleyball this summer and i'm actaully prettyy good. Does any one who's played on a team have any tips for me?
Same
Same.
Stretch stretch and also stretch. Oh I almost forgot! Stretch
Start mastering ur serves, after that spot serve. After that spot pass and so on
@@chrispyairfriedhyunjin2931 i can do a good underhand serve and my overhand is good just needs power? like to go father but other then that i think my serves are fine but thank you
Hey KoKo I’m trying out in a week or two and I’m really nervous, I started just this summer and you have helped me improve so much! My latest accomplishment is making a good serve! I just wanted you to know that you really made a difference on a little girls life! 🤗
Did you made it?
@@lunajz-1584 yeah I did volleyball for like a year and played for club. I won some national level tournaments but I think I’m done with volleyball now, it was fun while it lasted though
@@anonymouse_EN ohw I see
Wow hi yaku
I'm trying out for volleyball soon when Corona is over and this really helps, thank you!
I love your videos and you have taught me so much about volleyball i don't know how i can repay you
Same, I really want play
Like her vids that's how;-;
Same I really want to play so I’m going to be training till corona is over
Who els is here because you wanna try volleyball but you don’t know a lot about volleyball
Me, not knowing anything about volleyball or having any tryouts at my school: interesting*takes notes*
Same
we've been doing tryouts for 2 days going into the third day and i'm so happy i watched your videos i'm doing super well😌
my volleyball tryouts are TOMORROW. i’m so nervous but excited!! i’ll keep you guys updated if i make the team!! 💕
I hope u do wonderful my tryouts are Today to
Tuesday-Thursday
Heyo, my try-outs are today as well! I just want to say good luck, you got it!
ComdAeris hope u do amazing
@@heartmeza Thank youu, you too.!
ik i’m a year late lol. but did you make the team?
I tried out for volleyball today and didn't make the team. I wish I could've saw this earlier
aww it's ok dw you can try harder practice a little more and next time they hold tryouts you can try again, also i'm pretty sure that gives you like a whole year to practice and train
@@itsisha746 arnt you supposed to say something like "give up on you dreams and die"?
@Abi, no…
@@yoooisabbie no- i wanted to motivate them-
@@yoooisabbie um…
Hey Koko! I am trying really hard to be a setter, i am 12 and 5'6, so I know my coaches will want to put me as a middle blocker, and i kind of want to do both. What should I do? ( also anybody can give me sugesstions i am already setting 400 times a day. )
Ask coach what you could do to earn yourself the position you wany
wait that sounds exactly like me rn. 170cm 12 yr old who wants to play setter but can jump really high. I hope u made setter. Any pointers btw? I want help
Hi! I am a college setter, and 18u club coach. I played middle my freshman year of high school, then switched to setter so kind of relate! Talk to your coach. It is very rare to find players who can go from middle to setting. Make yourself well rounded, it will make it easier to get bids for teams ect. At the end of the day, being open and honest with your coach about where you want to play will get you far. Setters need to be the most positive on the court and the leader, they make all the calls. If you are a good leader, your coach will be much more likely to play you in that position.
I might suggest being a hitter! I know it isn’t one of the positions you mentioned, but your height will help you a lot in the position. When I was 12, I was 5’9”, and being a hitter really helped with the fundamentals of volleyball for me. If you don’t want to be a hitter, that’s totally fine!! :) have fun 💕
i know i’m a bit late but i would suggest either seeing how many setters there already are on your team or practicing both and seeing what your coach wants you to play
Tip:
Dont join a volleyball team just because u watched Haikyuu
Lmao jk

Update us!!!
@@kevweedojabh5843 I did 😋
I absolutely LOVE your account, it helps me so so much! I am so interested in volleyball. I am currently learning on how to play so I can try out next year in high school, and your videos help me out so much. I've already learned the positions, overhand serve, how to score points, and how to pass all because of you! Thank you so much! I will definitely be watching more of your videos until I make the team!
4:56 now this is probs just my kageyama side, but i HATEEEEEEEEEEEE IT when my teammates are taking their good old time to get a volleyball. HAKSBSKBD NO. I. WANT. TO. PLAY. Yeah sure, we have 4 hours which is plenty of time, but those hours r gonna fly by like sonic. STOP COMPLAINING TO ME THAT WE HAVE ALL THIS TIME, I NEED TO LEARN MORE SO THAT I CAN GO TO A GOOD HIGHSCHOOL!!!! oml, sorry i’m venting lol
binging this channel before high school volleyball tryouts 😭 pray that i'll make the team 🙏🙏
You got this I believe In you!
@@agpanda494 i didn't make it, they don't allow anyone under 5'6 on the team :(
@@brooklynzzowait what? short players can sometimes be huge assets. Although height is an advantage, it shouldn’t determine your skills.
i have my first volleyball conditioning in a few hours and i wanna throw up i’m so nervous :(
i’m kind of scared that i’ll be the only person on the volleyball team 👁👄👁
Hinata was for a few years right?
@@tjaytruong3835 Yep
This vid showed up when I was think about joinin a team. That’s some Voodoo shi xd
This is my first year where there doing tryouts so people can be cut, and it’s tomorrow so I may or may not be binging your videos
I really hope that you made the team!
@@KokoVolley thank you so much for the encouragement, I didn’t make it but I’ll continue practicing and your part of making me want to continue. Thank you so much for helping me!
I MADE MY MIDDLE SCHOOL TEAM!!!!!
All thanks to your advice
congrats ❤
@@0KCAMM thanks lol, i made a-team this year
3:19 this is the most important thing at my school gym. The gym isn’t air conditioned and people who are practicing don’t realize that they need water, we had a new girl come into practice with us for 3-4 hours (I forget how long) and she ended up passing out because she thought she was fine. She ok now and she’s coming back tmr!
I’m so glad you mentioned hustling after water breaks! Although I haven’t actually been involved in volleyball, I can definitely say that’s important. I did cheerleading for about 3 years and when it was water break, my teammates would go on their phones, socialize, walk away from the team and all that. Then when it came time to practice more, the others would walk back to the team without even getting water (because they were too busy on their phones and whatnot) that made our team fall behind and affected our competition score dramatically. This is also why I’m gonna do volleyball instead of cheerleading this year.
Im here for you Koko UwU💖 WELP ,IM LATE AGAAINN :'D
be on time!! hahaha
I was in class, then had practice right after school 😂
bruh u know that a RUclips is 100% wholesome when they have zero dislikes and when they give out useful stuff like this for free
Guys, I know this is 3 years ago and no one’s gonna see this but… PRAY FOR ME!! ❤️❤️
I really want to make the team again this year! I’d love to move up but if I don’t that’s fine too. Working hard rn ❤️
You’re in my prayers!!
Good luck, I’m also going to try out next month
KOKO! This is perfect! My tryouts start tommrow i love youuuu

Edit: ANYWAYS I FORGOT TO UPDATE THIS BUT I MAKE ITTT
Congrats 🎉👏
3 years later and im still using this video!!! Thank you so much Coach KoKo!!❤️❤️
My inspiration is Haikyuu, I knew I was good at vollyball but I never really did anything about it. After watching I really liked it and started playing more. I’ve been practicing for about 6-7 months and when I get back to school I want to try out for the team. Thanks for the tips!!
hiiii! this year i’m gunna be a freshman, i’m not nervous but i am nervous for try outs cause my school has a very good volleyball team. anyways there’s a volleyball camp for the girls planning on trying out for our school. anyways the camp is tomorrow :) and try outs are in august. i will update you guys everyday of the camp (it’s the 9th - 12th) and then i’ll update before and after tryouts !
How was it?
Idk if you did this already but can you do "vollyball hairstyles that you should do."
As my band teacher says: If you're early, you're on time, if you're on-time, you're late and if you're late, you're fired :)
I have tryouts Tuesday and I’m out of shape 😬
I can't believe you left out one important thing to NOT do and that is to bring your cellphone. That's the best way to piss off a coach besides being late. Leave it in the locker AND turn it off.
Hinata probably secretly watched this
My tryouts are in a week and I’m so scared. This is the seconds time I’m trying out. I’m so scared please wish me luck.
My tryouts are in the end of August, right before school and I'm so scared lol- but I started watching your videos and I feel a bit better! Thank you!
There wasn’t a try out-😅
I just randomly got in-
I suck the most since idk how to hit overhand serves from far back behind the net- also 20% of my serves fail and I don’t even serve from behind the line
I made the school team! Club ball tryouts are in a couple months 😀
Congrats

I really wanted to join Volleyball this year but I didn’t ._. Now I have to wait until next year in 8th grade
So I’m interested in volleyball but I don’t know much about it, just the gist of it. I’m starting 9th grade this year and we got an email from my school that there is volleyball that I could register for. I really wanna get more active so I’m gonna register. I really wanna be at least a little prepared so I’m gonna binge lots of your videos! Thank you for all the videos!
Weebs: don't scream out rolling thunder
Try outs are in the 8th I'm so scared ;-;
girl/boy/person you got this! i’m sure you have worked hard for this and are getting better and better everyday! don’t be nervous, you just gotta relax, and try your best! and no matter what happens there is always next year, which means you have even more time to train and get better!
Good luck UwU💖

@Lashondria Abney I ended up going to another team to try out but I made it!!!!! GOOD LUCK TO YOU
ayup college athlete here this video is really amazing but if u suck at volleyball and u are trying out for a team over hype EVERYTHING cheer for everyone i would not have made the team if i didn’t do that and when i say i sucked i really did. it’s embarrassing at first especially if u are introverted (like me) but i swear it make the experience a lot more fun
I have tryouts either late August or early September and I’m super nervous! I didn’t make the team for 2 years in a row but I’m really hoping that this year I will! Thank you for the tips- I struggle with calling the ball even though I play Libero haha! I’ll definitely keep this in mind :)
How’d it go?
I know nothing about vollyball but I wanna be in a sport but I ahve no experience my try outs are 6th I’m scared HELP
