Okay. I tried out for a volleyball team.
Everyone's is skinny and muscular for their average height as freshmen. Except one guy who is semi-overweight and the tallest guy. For me, I'm really skinny&flexible and have like ... no muscle at all, but I'm the 2nd tallest. Do you think I have any chance of being accepted? |

Volleyball isn't just muscle and height. It's about skill and sportsmanship.
Are you good at it? |

ha! one of my fav sports. you don't even have to be that tall, but you're tall which is a bonus! of course, show your team work and you'll be fine because volleyball is all about teamwork. IMPOSSIBLE to play alone. well...fine good luck spiking it then xD

I want to know something from coach's view of point. i'm an average player, not a pro.  I have been playing volleyball for about 3-4 years.

I think you'd have a pretty good chance of getting in. You're experienced and you're tall.
How do you try out? Like.. as a team or individually? I think that if you try out with a team, your coach might want to see how well you work with a team. If you try out individually, I think your coach is looking for skill. |

Well, our school did have a volleyball team, but it already ended. I most likely would have made. I did play regular volleyball for 2 years.

Maybe he wasn't trying to be unclear about it but it just ended up that way? If you're really upset about it, I think you should ask him on what you can improve on so you can work on it for the next volleyball season try outs. |
