volleyball514 When you girls hit, do you do a three-step or a four-step approach? I learned three-step, but my club team recently had a 'guest coach' show us the four-step approach...It took some getting used to! ;)

volleyball514 @iluvcake2000: Touching the ball is the only way to get better, so practice as much as you can! Blocking well is a bonus for a middle hitter; try to time it so you jump up to block at the same time as the hitter. Also, work on snapping the ball down forcefully by snapping your wrist and jumping as high as you can when you hit. Try to be a good passer as well; if you can pass well, the coach will want you on the court. Hope these tips help & good luck at tryouts girl!

volleyball514 Tips for making the team: 1. Show up to as many practices as you can to show you're committed. 2. Have a good attitude and be a team player. 3. If you mess up, don't get flustered; just take a deep breath and tell yourself you'll get it right the next time. 4. Ask your coach what you should work on, and what you need to improve. 5. Practice the skills as much as possible; the only way you can get better is to TOUCH THE BALL. 6. Do your best & good luck!!
8/23/2012 6:43:06 PM | Report
volleyball514 @foodiejr99: Speed is the key to overhand serving! Force = mass x acceleration, and you can't increase the mass of your hand, so move it faster! Also, make a routine for serving- bounce the ball twice, then draw your arm back, or something, and do it every time you serve. Make sure your toss is not too high or too low, and toss it in front of your serving hand, arms length away, to get it in the “power zone.” Serving with a heavier ball isn’t really that different- just keep practicing! Good luck girl! ~Bee

8/24/2012 10:23:19 AM | Report
volleyball514 Hey Olivia! Try to practice as much as you can, touching the ball is the only way to get better. For bumping, angle your hips & shoulders toward the target & don't fold your arms. For serving & spiking, don't get under the ball, stay behind it. Setting: make sure your wrists, elbows, & fingers are bending to quickly catch and release the ball. Be patient and practice! Good luck girlie!

volleyball514 Hey girls! You may be wondering, what's a libero? Libero is a position in volleyball that specializes in defense. Liberos must stay in the back row, behind the 10-foot line. They wear a different colored jersey and can sub in for players at any time without it counting as a substitution. Liberos are great diggers/passers, and are often short! Think you have what it takes to be a libero? :)
4/26/2012 8:52:47 PM | Report
volleyball514 You can still spike the ball even if you aren't super tall! Practice jumping & angling your swing so the ball goes down over the net. Or, perfect your 10-foot line hit to pack a punch from the back row.

volleyball514 3-step approach for spiking: Start with your feet together & arms at your sides, then take a big step forward with your left foot. Next step forward with your right foot while swinging your arms back. Then take a small step with the left to make your feet even while crouching down, and finally jump UP and bring up your right arm, with your hand by your ear and then snap forward at the elbow & wrist to smack the ball. Remember, always jump up, not forward into the net! P.S. If you’re a lefty like me, switch the right and left steps. :P

volleyball514 Setting 101: Form a triangle with your thumbs & index fingers & have all other fingers spread apart. Separate your hands a couple inches & position them above your forehead & angled slightly upwards. Adjust your hands to receive the ball, make sure all your fingers contact the ball, & flick your wrists to “push” the volleyball upwards. Make sure to bend your wrists, not your fingers. Think of it as a quick catch-and-release motion.

volleyball514 For passing, serving, and spiking- make the ball go where you want it! When passing, line up your hips & shoulders to the target (the setter) to make the ball go that direction. For spiking/overhand serving, make your body face the direction you want the ball to go and follow through with your arm in that direction.

volleyball514 When you dig the ball from a spike, make sure to get LOW. Bend your knees & be ready to slide to the side to ensure a good pass. Make sure your arms are forming a straight platform that's angled toward the setter. Usually you don't need power to dig.
8/16/2011 3:52:35 PM | Report
lexi b says yay sstods: Exactly. When passing clasp your hands together and form a platform for the ball with the insides of your forearms, keeping your elbows straight. Pass the ball using your hips and legs, squatting and then popping upward and bumping the ball forward with your forearms. Be stable before passing. A more advanced passing technique is passing the ball with your arms over your heads. Flick the ball quickly with your fingertips, moving it in the desired direction.

*sTaRsTrUcK* And stretch! If you do end up with sore muscles, trying icing them for 15 minutes on, 15 off, then 15 minutes more. It really does help, trust me!

volleyball514 If you're passing in the back row & the ball is too high for you to bump, beach dig it! Put your hands together at face height, interlocking your thumbs, and let the volleyball bounce off. But if you have to jump for it, it's probably out of bounds.

Ladyshen Hey girls remember when you're hitting the ball don't put your hands together. I meant to say was there's a specific way to hit the ball without hurting you hands! Put your right hand over your left hand and put them together! :)
5/12/2011 10:14:41 AM | Report
Girliegirl11 We put our left hand over our right hand. Putting your right over your left feels ackward!

volleyball514 Having trouble with a particular technique? How about that tricky new serve? Ask your coach or another girl for tips, or things you can do to improve. Chances are they can help you out!

AliActress99 I CANNOT serve overhand for my life. Help!
5/11/2011 7:44:43 PM | Report
volleyball514 Serving can be hard! Make sure you start with a high toss in front of you, and contact the ball at its highest point, then follow through completely. Aim is important too; keep it on the court! Lastly, exercise your arms to up the power. Good luck!

volleyball514 If you block when you play front row, make sure you are jumping straight up right against the net, tap your hands down over the net, and return. Try to time your jump so you leave the ground the same time as the hitter. Got volleyball ?'s? Comment!

AliActress99 hey, i just joined the club. what r some good v-ball drills?
5/10/2011 8:27:22 PM | Report
volleyball514 (cont.) exercises to strengthen your arms, legs & abs. If you're with a group, you can play queens of the court, where you get into groups of 3 and 2 teams play each other at a time for 1 play; the team that wins stays and a new team challenges them.
5/11/2011 4:33:25 PM | Report
volleyball514 If you're alone, go outside and find a wall you can practice on. Bump and set the volleyball against the wall; also you can hit the ball on the ground & it will bounce up off the wall & back to you to spike it again. Also do regular exercises (cont.)

sstods for school teams: How many people are allowed to serve underhand? we arent allowed in my school. im just curious how many schools let teams underhand serve? let me know! <3, Shelby P.S. What is easier, underhand or overhand for you?
5/3/2011 3:53:27 PM | Report
vballchixrule my school will let you do whatever...but I can only float/top-spin overhand regular and do a float/top-spin jump serve... my school will put you on a lower team if you only underhand serve...and you won't make a club team without an overhand serve

pinkypi26 We're allowed under or overhand, whichever we're best at. I did underhand this year because it was my first year. I'm gonna practice overhand this summer and hopefully get good enough to do it that way next season!
5/4/2011 5:55:33 PM | Report
volleyball514 Personally, I'm not too great at overhand... so underhand is easier for me! But, there is no restriction as to what serves you aren't allowed to do at my school.
5/4/2011 5:44:37 PM | Report
girliegirl11 At my school the 6th graders can serve underhand. If you don't have enough strength to do it in 7th and 8th grade you can do it then. mostly 6th graders only. In 6th grade, i served underhand. now, i serve a really good overhand serve.
5/3/2011 4:24:16 PM | Report
volleyball514 When overhand serving: A good serve starts with a good toss! Make sure you are tossing the volleyball in front of you, and high enough that you can extend your arm all the way.

volleyball514 Passing/bumping tip: Remember to get directly to the ball and stop moving before you bump it! This will make your pass go where you want it to instead of off to the side.

*sTaRsTrUcK* I have a ? about volleyball. I've got my spiking footwork down, and my hands and everything are perfect, but only when there's no ball. When I try a hit for REAL, I rarely get a great hit. Is it because I'm such a klutz? I'm 5'9".
5/1/2011 6:21:08 PM | Report
volleyball514 sorry for not getting back to you sooner! It sounds like you're doing everything right, but spiking can be tricky. Make sure you're jumping high enough, and that you jump UP, not forward. Strike the ball forcefully! Also, ask your coach for tips.
