Well... work as hard as you possiably can and even if you don't get the ball over the net don't feel bad it happens to people all the time. Also when you go on your knees to get the ball, make sure you have knee pads or it really hurts!
Other wise that's about it.... Oh,,,,, always call the ball so you don't run into each other and when ya serve the ball try not to fall on your butt and make the loudest noise in the gym... * it sucks * ;)
Well good luck! Volleyball rox! â£â£

Hmm.. do not let the stupid people at away games distract you when you are playing. Beat them up after the game. lol, I am just kidding about the second part, but don't let some trash distract you. Second, make sure you shrug you shoulders when bumping the ball, like a teacher just asked you a perplexing question and you do not know the answer. Do not swing your arms or else it will be hard to control where the ball goes. OH! and I have seen some girls get down on their knees and serve in gyms with really low ceilings. If you have a ceiling like that in your district, you may wanna practice that to prevent it from hitting the ceiling and bouncing down on your side. You can ask your coach if the ceilings are low and she/he will probably be able to tell you.

Some advice is to always be cheering on the other people and, show that you love the sport. Always try to get the ball even if it means that you fall on your face, it shows that you want to dig that ball up and put it in to play. Also listen to what the coaches are saying and always try your best!. Another thing to remember it to stay low at all times, I play club volleyball and that is all my coach would say! so that low and keep your spirits up and you should do fine.

Yes! If you are experienced, it'll be pretty easy! If not, then try practicing bumping a ball around, maybe get a net and ball to practice. Practice your setting, cause coaches like good setters. HUSTLE,HUSTLE,HUSTLE! Get after that ball! If it's in your area, it's yours, so if you miss it, then that was your ball you missed.
Anddd....GOOD LUCK and HAVE FUN! Just take a deep breath, maybe do some warming up, and then get out there and smile! Once you are on the team, it'll be fun, and you will have the greatest time!

Become a proficient passer. Passing is the most important techinique in volleyball. Also become an overhand server. Overhand is more impressive though start with underhand. Hitting and setting are still important but passing is the most important skill. Become focused and just have fun!!!!!! Do your best!!!!!!

When I first played, I made the mistake of hitting the ball with my wrists. Use your arms to hit the ball. A good drill is to dribble the volleyball against a wall over and over but don't catch it. Good luck!

Standard wear is a tee shirt , shorts of some kind either spandex or sports shorts, long knee socks , volleyball shoes so u don't slip, and of course knee pads so u don't bust up your knee ( believe me i know ). Next come prepared to learn the fundamentals in blocking, passing, setting, spiking ( my fave ) and of course serving ( my fave beat ). last but not least have a great attitude and have fun.

its not as easy as it looks. dont give up on it though when its tough. NEVER EVER give up..
dont be afraid to hit the floor for a ball.
dont be worried about hitting the ball as hard as you can, keep it under control and in the court and ull have a much better chance at getting better!
have fun with it! volleyball is one of the best sports out there!
good luck!
