If your feeling pain, there are 2 major things you need to look at.\n1st: the ball you are using maybe a store brand with a hard cover instead of a good brand ball. If your under 12 make sure to use a tachikara light, if your over 12 use a soft touch by molten, they will take alot of the sting away.\n2: if your using a good ball already and you still have pain then chances are you are "attacking" the ball as it gets to you. You need to learn how to accept the ball as it comes to you. Your arms are the least used body part in volleyball. The arms should stay still and your legs and body are what moves. If your using your arms to push the ball to your taget then stinging will always be there.\nIf neither of these things help, I know some people who wear cut off socks on there arms during warm ups and non competitive games. It will soften the blow until you are playing correctly. \nThe right ball and body movements will take away all the pain, red marks might still be present as you are using your body to contact an object and move it in a new direction, but the pain should not be present!\nGood Luck the Coaching staff!\nPS: serving rule #1, never say I cannot serve, instead be confident that anyone can serve a ball. Again this comes from the legs more than arms. Proper footwork is nessecary unless your 6' 3" 200 lbs, then you can probaly just stand and hit it over. 2 things, body movemnt = momentum, momentum = power. Second thing the straighter the arm the better. Your arm is like a catpault the straighter you make it the easier it will be..

DO NOT THROW EVERYDAY.  This will hurt your arm in more ways than you can imagine.\n\nDO NOT THROW CURVES.  This will also hurt your arm and will actually shorten your career.  You shouldn't start throwing any curve balls, sliders or cutters until you are in college or in a minor league system for a major league team and then, an instructor will show you how to do it.\n\nThere are plenty of instructional videos out there for kids like you.

One suggestion is, If you don't want to be on the team, you could do badly in try-outs and not make it. \nIs it that you just don't like basketball, or you don't like sports at all? Maybe if you played another sport, they would be ok with it. Or, join another activity and get involved. Your parents just may want you to find a hobby, and they may think that basketball is the best one for you. If you can show them that you are dedicated to another activity/sport, I'm sure they will understand. Good luck!

Well, work on your handles with tennis balls, and work on catching with tennis balls also. In the game, focus on getting your teammates involved, and also be agressive. Hustle, and even if you're nervous, don't let it show, and have poise. God Bless, and good luck this year!

Good question!!! After playing 2 yrs d-1 and 1 yr d-2 my answer would be it is if you are very disciplined, extremely dedicated, and want to continue a life of eat, sleep, and playing volleyball. It is an experience that most people will never know. The relationships, the camaraderie, the passion, and pure love that is shared between a team is indescribable. It is very much like being in love: the emotion, your willingness to do whatever it takes to succeed, not only for yourself but for the 10 other girls, your coaches, your fans, and your school. Not to mention your education being paid! But there is also long trips that seem to last year round, the ach and hurts and soreness that you didn't think God was capable of letting our bodies go through, the look of a florescent lite gym, the smell of the sweaty locker rooms that become so nauseating, the endless meals at the Olive Garden shoving pasta down your throat. Then there is the feeling of being totally lost in class when you are the, the arguing with professors that it was an excused absence you were gone on a v-ball trip, and maintaing a 3.0 average.\nIs a volleyball scholarship worth the pain you ask?! \nI wouldn't change a single moment. Not for the world!!!

Look at the pros and cons of doing either one and choose which one you'd be happier doing.\n\nI say Volleyball.

if u want to play soccer and on a certain team that requires tryouts than yes. tryouts are very intimidating but they are worth it    if u don't want to play soccer for this certain coach you could see if there are any recreational teams available

Play everything, because high school and Jr. High are fun like that.  I ended up playing running back and free saftey but on JV and C team I played D-line, tightend, reciever, QB get a feel for it all that way if you want/have to play a different position at the college level it's not that brand new to you. I was a lil guy in Jr high and high school 5'7 155 after I got to college I grew but do it all man. Don't limit yourself to just one sport do swimming, tennis, hoops all that skill pays off in the long run, And youre 12 what else do you have to do.

No offense but either you're limits are too low or you're team is too good. So you could either push your limits further or just wait until your teamates graduate or something like that and keep practicing.

Do squats, lunges, biking is good too. All of the exercises that work on your thighs because it's the most important muscle while you're playing volleyball

im a 19 yr old guy, i played varsity volleyball all through high school, making 3 all star appearences and 1 all state, all as power hitter. in college i declined an invitation to play for my school because of a knee injury which i am currently in rehab for. i plan to return to the sport once healthy again, and intend to play in the A-10 div 1 confrence.

Depending on your schools rules, you may not get to play at all even if you go back right now.  Here, if you miss 4 hours, you are not allowed to participate in the after school programs that day.  If you really are sick, you won't play at your best either and are setting yourself up for an easy injury by participating.  You'd also risk the chance of getting your team mates sick--do you want to do that?

besides volleyball, i spend ALL of my time playing basketball. the pistons are my favorite team, especially chauncey and big ben. So i'd say its for sure ok that you like playing bball and reading sports illustrated

all depends on the coach, it also depends on your excuse for not trying out in the first place, if you were a former player and a good one at that then maybe, only if you were sick for tryouts or injured or at a funeral or somethin, but you cant just say oh i want to be on the varsity basketball team and bam your there, it takes a lot of hard work.
