It's not only a girls sport. I think it's very manly actually.
Anyway, if you play, what position and your opinion.

im usually up at the net, blocking and spiking since im tall, sometimes i fill in as setter....

and i love volleyball =) but the guys team still pwn the girls team at my school T_T stupid guys

mostly power but before was setter =\ i like being power it just feels so right and fun for me we can like school the guys in my grade in my skool yea....lol we have pros on our team other then that vball rocks its such a good sport nd good excercise

I don't play for school or anything but my friends and I just play for fun and no one really has a position. We all just run into each other and fall down hoping one of us hits it -_-

wen i use to play.. i was mostly the server and setter.. man i wsonder why i quit.. but i loved the game!

I never played for a team, but I loved playing it in school. It's one of my favorite sports to play and watch.

my entire family is into volleyball.. but me. i seem to be the only one that lacks talent in that area. but it is fun to watch.

I love volleyball..
I don't exactly play on a team, but I'm usually in the back area..

I enjoy surfing and i exert high amount of energy. I suck at being close to the net because i hit the ball too far. i guess, i'm only good for the last row and surfer.

I don't play for school, I just enjoy playing it with friends and during gym classes.

i'm main setter. it's hard sometimes, but i love it. i love volleyball. wheeeeee.

ur all damn right~! volleyball rocks; is not exactly a girl sport but wen guys r playing is so rough n they do powerful spiking in my school~ >-< is rilly scary but anyway imma setter for the school team even thou is hard but is FUN~!

hell yeah it does. The only sport I am actually good at. I am REAL good as a server.

Oh yesss. I love playing volleyball.

I love playing volleyball. One of maybe two sports (tennis) that I dont mind playing.

i love volleyball. i used to play middle blocker but like 2 weeks ago my coach switched me to right side. it deffinately is not only a girl's sport, though. our boys team is pretty good and i love watching them play.

YESSIR, IT DOES! I'm currently in tryouts but I'm pretty confident I'll make since I've played on 2 teams for the last 3 years. I love vb!

Yes, Volleyball does rawk.
But the team doesn't stay in their positions.
D:

I dont play on a team.. but I love playing and watching volleyball

I absolutely love volleyball, right now in the girls team in school, we're just starting to play games.
Urm, my favourite positions is just playing the back row.

edit;; and it's true that's its not just a girl's sport most guys have a better over hand serve than a girls[sometimes, anyway].

moved to interests -> sports forum

okay, i'm going to tryout for vollyball. i was wondering if you guys can give me some pretty good tips before tryout. i REALLY want to make it into the team.

um lots of running...
weights...
stretching...
have you played before?
do you know what position you would be playing?

- i have no problem with stretching since i'm very flexible.
i dont mind about running. this summer, i'm going to run with my friends because ... she wants to lose wieght. my other friend want to lose weights. my other friend want to come along. ;]

- weights ... i'm really weak sause.

- i had been playing vollyball since 5th grade. It's one of my sports that i like ;] ... and it's the ONLY sport i'm good at.

- the position doesnt really matter, everyone get's the same position.

i want to try out too!

Just something that will not only make you look more skilled, but it will make bumping easier:

Your arms shouldn't move much while bumping until you follow it through, your power should come from your legs

wow ;]

so, vollyball is pretty much base on legs?

i'm not suppose to exert force in my arms? i'm suppose to let the ball hit my arms to bounce off? how do you control the direction of the vollyball when you hit at the same time?

oh man, i dont think i learned right ;[

thanks for letting me know!

YAY volleyball.... um

to impress ur coach. Don't RUN from the volleyball. Go after the ball if its coming ur way. NEVER LET THE BALL HIT THE FLOOR.


thats what my coach always says. hey do we have a volleyball club on Create Blog cuz i really should join that

I Play volleyball Um... i'm usually

Right Side
Setter <<< i hate being setter. I never get to hit.
Middle * all i hit is quicks hehehe*

I played hitter when I was on the team.
The only thing that sucked was that our star player was a hitter so I didn't have much of a chance to look good as a player because she was always so much better.

mmm the only sport I play :) welll I play back row serve recieving or left side defender... kinda in the middle (not front or back)

know the approach for hitting (if you're right handed move your feet left, right, left+jump+hit... if you're a lefty do the opposite). make sure you know how to set and bump too. serving is also good, but in our school it doesn't matter if we can serve or not since most of the people on the team CAN serve, don't know about yours so work on serving just to be safe.

outside hitter. i LOVE it.

pretty good thing to know

any more suggestions and tips?

Okay, like people have said,
NEVER let the ball drop
Show enthusiasm, if the coach
tells you to do something
you darn well do it and make
a point for them to see that you
made an effort to show them

make sure that your platform
for bumping is good and that
you have really good control

if possible, have a knowledge of
setting in order to be a "well-rounded"
player

be able to attack the ball (hitting, spiking,
whatever you wanna call it) is VERY important
make sure that you have the footwork and the
swing down.

you need to know blocking, redirecting, diving,
rolling, and all that good jazz.

it would be a good idea to do some sort of
prep camp this summer if possible.

oh and if you're outa shape or something
cuz of summer and all, make sure you
get your legs and mainly thighs in shape,
cuz they're bent all the time during play.

oh ya, and always call the ball when you're
going to get it.

Topics merged. :]

volleyball tryouts start monday! eeeek, i'm scared. i've never tried out on a JV/varsity level.

anyways, i'm usually a middle hitter. and i've been playing for about 4 years.
