Well hit the gym.  You should build muscles in your whole body and not just focus on your legs.  You use you upper body to throw yourself up on your approach.  You should also just go out and play.  It builds muscle memory which can play just as big of a role as working out.  Oh and when working out make sure you use strength training.  You don't need bulging muscles for volleyball as that would only slow you down.

Volleyball is great! I'm 12 and I love volleyball! It shows you discipline, sportsmanship, teamwork, and a bunch of other things you would probably need later in life.

well, it is easier to show, but here we go.\na)hold the ball in your left hand, with your right hand on top. you left foor should be pointed towards the spot you wanna serve, your right foot is parallel to the back line. your two feet should be like 6 inches or more apart.\nb)take a step back with your right foot, at the same time pulling your right hand STRAIGHT BACK...not down and around. \nc)throw the ball with your left hand up in the air high enough for swinging hand to be at the top point of it's reach. \nd) swing at the ball with your right hand, with a REALLY strong hand. (and open hand, like you were giving the ball a strong highfive.)\nwhat you do with your left hand is poit in the air the place you want it to go while doing C.\nfollow through with your left and right hands.\n\nmost of it is just asking your coach, or a volleyball playing friend for help.

Volleyball requires many different physical demands on your body.  In order to be at your top performance on the court, there are several things your should do off the court. \n\nNutrition is important.  Many people wonder what they should be eating the day prior or day of an important tournament.  A better question is what should we be eating everyday.  So, the big question is what to eat?  Dr. Bill Misner is a nutritionist and competitive sports athlete.  He discusses nutrition for endurance and shares ten secrets for better performance. \n\nOff-court training is also very important.  As with any change in physical training, you should consult a physician before beginning.  Off-court training will not only increase your performance ability, it will also protect you from injury.  What you do off the court is just as important as what you do on the court.  While each person is different, your off-court training should include a balanced mix of cardio / aerobic and anaerobic exercises and weight training\nHere's an example of my work-out regimen: My workouts are all in three phases:  warm-up; target work-out; cool down stretching.  While each target work-out may change, the warm-up and cool down are always the same.  I have an intense work-out designed to do as many exercise as possible in as little amount of time.  I work out five day's a week, regardless of practices or games. \n\nWarm-up\n\nI do not stretch.  This is important.  Recent studies have shown that prolonged stretching before working out is actually counterproductive. \n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nBenefits of stretching "...include relaxation of tight, tense muscles or the "cooling down" of muscles.. actually [putting] the muscles to sleep ..."  \n\nyou stretch before exercises or games, I strongly suggest you read this article.  What you should do is run or even walk every day you work out for at least 20 minutes, regardless of your workout.  Not hard running, just a nice leisurely job to get you body warmed up and ready to perform. At the end of your job, your joints will be warm and muscles will be already be receiving oxygen and ready to go.  After my jog, and before my target work-out, I do active stretches that pertain to that target work-out.  Active stretches are those that put the joint and muscles through a full range of motion.  These should never be done before warming up first.\n\nCooling Down\n\nAfter my workouts is when I stretch.  I stretch my entire body, regardless of the workout routine.  I do this to maintain optimum flexibility which helps prevent injury.  I always start with my supportive leg muscles first:  calves; anterior tibilous; hamstrings; buttocks; and finally quads.  From there, I do my lower back, abs, arms (biceps, triceps, forearms), then shoulders, lats, upper back, and finally chest.  I always end my cool down with another stretching of my legs muscles. \n\nTarget Your Workouts for Success\n\nToo often, players feel that they should concentrate on one area of fitness - jump training, muscle building, food, endurance.  In the end, players will strengthen one area nd neglect the rest. \n\nYour workouts should include total body fitness.  To do this, I use a four day work out routine.  I will work out for two days and then break for one day and then pick it up on day three of my work-out schedule.  This allows for bumps in the schedule.  If I am unable to work out for more than one day, I just pick it up where I left off.  However, the important thing is to get into the gym at least three times in any one week. \nread more at website below

I'm about your height and played volleyball in HS.  If I remember right (yes, it's been a few years ago...), my problems with spiking weren't with height or jumping, it was with getting the timing down.  Sometimes it helped if my Dad or sisters just fed the ball to me so I could time the jump right.  Work on that over and over and see if you improve.  It made a lot of difference in my game.

You need a partner for all 3 of these drills.\n\nSwitch Hand Dribbling:\nHave a person defend you and go after your dribbling hand to practice you switching over. Make sure you do enough reps to practice both hands and moving the ball from both hands. Try to add in a jab step or a move to counter once you get the hang of it.\n\n\nCatching low basketballs:\nHave someone pass low to you, what you need to do is trap the low ball. Even if you have to, tap it to start a dribble, just to slow the ball up. Try to catch it and go, waste no time. Remember, always know where you are trying to get and get there, relentlessly.\n\n\nFinishing quick after catch:\nHave 1 defender and 1 passer. Have the passer pass from all angles and to all angles, once you catch it, just move. You aren't going to achieve anything standing there. A good defender defends the after-pass defense and not the actual pass. Once you get the ball, just jab in, explode in. Once you're in, you will see that it left NO time for the defender to react and the upcoming defender is your next assignment.\n\n\nOnce you achieve these steps, you need to learn how to finish big, or how to get contact and get to the line. It's tough, but it should work

Feedback:  Yes I do have a lot of experience with this.  Mud volleyball is a blast.  If you can control wetness of the mud, err on the wet side.  \nWarnings:  Make sure to remove any sticks, rocks, or derbi because people will dive if the mud is soft enough.    \nStrategy:  It's all about spacing your players out evenly around your side of the court/mud.  If you can, always hit it to the opposing team's weakest player every time!  \nGood Luck!!!

"Now in order to become a great footballer you need a variety of different skills. You need to have good ball control/handling for often in a game you can get in pressured situations where you need to be very comfortable with the ball."\n\n"This brings me to a quote from a fellow soccer lover "Treat the soccer ball like a good friend or even a girlfriend." This meant that you should consider the ball as a part of you, "Be one with the soccer ball." Like any team sport without a good team player attitude you will get nowhere. Let me rephrase that, you need good people skills."\n\n"I ,and many other soccer players, feel creativity is a key element. Coaches can drive technical skills, and routine into young players minds which is doing them a disservice. It is teaching them to always do the same thing…not good."\n\n"On your way to become a great soccer player you will need to practice but just how much practice is needed? Around 5 hours a week for kids ages 12-15 should do the trick. "you need different amounts for different ages" quoted my past soccer coach."\n\n"You should have enough practice to make you feel you have learned something. In addition to all this you need to always be prepared to train by living a sport friendly lifestyle, which is free of alcohol etc."\n\n""The greatest players are the ones who practice by themselves and push their team mates." explained John (a online soccer expert)."

You want simple drills such as dribbling around cones, practicing shooting with your left foot in your spare time, one on ones with your mates, and you need to do some continuous and circuit training to get your general fitness up...as for controlling the ball at high speeds try some fartlek training...this is running at different speeds over different terrain!

(m)\n\nThe basic rules of the game of volleyball are actually quite simple. A team must score 15 points to win a game. However, a team must win by at least two points. For example, a game that is at 15-14 must continue until one team has a two point lead. Depending on the age level or league, either the best two-of-three or the best three-of-five games wins the match.\n\nOnly the team serving the ball can score a point. If they score, they continue serving. If they fail to score, a "side out" is called and the other team gets the serve. The game is played with six players on a side, three in the front and three in the back. The player on the right side in the back row is the server.\n\nUnlike other sports, in volleyball a player gets to play all six positions. Each time the team gets the ball back to serve, the players rotate one position. They move clockwise during the entire match. Which ever player moves into the right back position, gets to be the next server.\n\nThe server must hit the ball either underhand or overhand with one hand from the serving area, behind the endline. The ball must clear the net and come down in bounds on the other side. It cannot touch the net, or a player on the server's side. If the serve is good, and the other team fails to return it, the serving team gets a point and the same player serves again. If the serve is not good, or the serving team fails to return the ball, the other team gets a "side out" and also gets the serve. They do not score a point.\n\nThe ball must always be hit before it lands on the court. Each team is allowed up to three hits to return the ball, however the third hit must put the ball over the net. A player is not allowed to hit the ball twice in a row. The ball may be hit with the hands, fists, arms, or any part of the body from the waist up. Catching, scooping or carrying the ball are all not allowed. Some of the most common fouls are reaching over the net to play a ball, a player crossing the center line when the ball is in play, touching the net during play, and a player out of position on the court
