Volleyball Options

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

[blucheri]

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)

[MeowGurl]

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.

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.
