Does anyone play volleyball on a high school team?

well if you serve underhand, you should try curls. for an overhand or power serve you just have to do it alot. that will help you build the strength. to keep the ball out of the net try hitting the ball sooner. when its higher (for over hand) same for underhand too. its really depends on your release point. and if you serve with a closed fist make sure you make a totally flat contact with the ball. if you dont and you hit it with the side of edge of your fist it will go out of bounds. Good Luck!! keep practicing! :)

If there is no girls team, then they should be able to go on the boys team. That wouldn't be fair if there was just a boys basketball team.\n\nMost schools have boys and girls basketball, baseball (boys and softball (girls), and volleyball is typically a girls sport in school, but boys should be able to play it too.\n\nLacrosse is separated, as well as other sports. And I know that they never let men join our gymnastics team ,which was so stupid! On our football team, they HAD to let the girls join even if  they were bad. That I thought was dumb, because I would hate to be put on a team without knowing I earned it...\n\nIf there is no girls, they should be able to join the boys, otherwise they need to make a girls and boys team.\n\nPeace!

I hope you already play on a high school team or else it's probably too late for you to ever make a college team.\n\nDo you know any quarterbacks who would go to a field with you and throw you some different type of passes with you running some basic patterns.\n\nYou will have to be able to catch balls that are thrown very quickly and hard.\nThen even if you can do that like many other guys,you will have to be able to hang on to the ball after getting hit hard by a defensive back.\n\nThis is where many fairly good athletes fail to make it because not everyone can take the hard hits after catching the ball.\n\nJust get out and play as much sandlot or touch football as you can.\nIt's best to practice with someone with a good throwing arm who will help you get used to catching well thrown balls.\n\nIf you can do this then go and try out for a high school team if you are in high school.\n\nAsk the opinions of a coach or any friends you have who are already on the team.\n\nGood luck I hope you make it.

This is interesting to me...\n\nIndoor:\n\nWhen I started as a pro player it was very tough because I had no where to start and a couple ideas.\n\nYou can get on a team in many ways:\n\n1.  The team knows your name and finds you directly thru etiher an agent or maybe your present team or your coach.\n\n2.  You contact the team directly.\n\n3.  Your agent gets a request for a certain type of player from a team.\n\n\nBeach:\n\nWell there really aren't teams in the USA. I mean you find your partner generally speaking by training with them or talking to them about it because you saw they play and thought you might play well together.\n\nI noticed in Europe that certain pro teams (indoor) were starting beach teams (2 people) that were sponsored by the team's sponsors and the team.\n\nAlso, I saw that there were actual beach volleyball clubs that had several teams of partners that trained together and competed on the national pro ciruit.\n\nAn agent can help manage and negotiate sponsorship deals for beach players.\n\n:-)\n\nFor an example of an agent's website is:\n\nhttp://www.esmgsports.com\n\nalso, a database for pro volleyball players can be found here:\n\nhttp://www.elitevolleyballplayers.com\nIt will be the only database available to house potential/current pro volleyball players.

Yes, it's a sport just like any other.  It is also the fastest growing high school sport in the nation.

First off, if you are joining at the entry level, they will teach you all the basic rules and skills that you need.  But to be a bit more specific, volleyball is a team game which can be played with 2 to 6 members on the court.  A ball is served from behind the service line (the back line of the rectangle on the floor) and the other team receives the ball.  They have three hits to get the ball back to the other side, where that team will have three hits to get the ball back over.   The goal is to hit the ball to the other side, inside the boundaries, and have it hit the floor. This is how you score a point.  \n\nThere are many techniques and hits that you will learn.  It's a lot of fun and good exercise!  Have fun and enjoy!

Try-Out! Like you said, you already know the worst that can happen is not making the team. You will always have that what if I tried out--would I have maken the team if you don't. If you know a volleyball player- before tryouts ask them if they can help you brush up on a few skills. Good Luck!

Hi\n\nIve coaches YMCA and USA swim teams... and Those do have National Compettions after State IF you qualify of course...\n\nBut your friend may be right as I do not think WIAA which governs most High school sports has that?\n\nI am not sure but I dont think so.\n\nIf your friend is done with her swim season now  ( early)  or when she is done she can hop onto a USA or Y team and make some qaulifying meets and go to nationals that way in the spring.. we have High school girls do that all the time!\n\nShe just cant swim for both teams at the same time.\n\nGood Luck\nWismom

There are some colleges that do have a JV team. But the only way you can practice with the Varsity is by trying out. It also depends on what the coaches need, some for instance would invite some students with some skill to scrimmage against his players in certain practices, like mines did at Cal back in 96.\nIf you don't make the squad you can play in intramural leagues or park league to help you work on your game.

That's hard! I played all of those in school too.\n\nI played softball for 5 years, volleyball for 7, and basketball for 2. \n\nI'd say volleyball!

Well, I'm not sure how things work down in Texas but here in Wisconsin...you have to be talented enough to play at the Varsity level.  When I was in High School, I played football and Baseball, started at both on the Varsity level both senior and junior year.  The baseball team actually made cuts...as in if you weren't good enough to play...even at the JV level...you weren't going to play at all.\nBut my football team was a little different... there wasn't any cuts but if you weren't good enough to play Friday nights, then you had a chance to play Saturday mornings on the JV team.    Regardless of what year in school you were.  So, maybe your school has some sort of policy regarding the "no cut policy".  You know they way things are in today's world...and how much things have to be changed in order to make everyone happy...and not leave anyone out....I think she should just be Happy that she gets to play!

I would do a websearch on colleges in your area.  Most schools that have a volleyball program will have a summer camp during that time.  Also you could search under Nike, they have a bunch throughout the summer.  Finally I would look at the USVBA.  They may have links for other camps.\n\nGood luck and keep playing....it is a great sport and only gets better the more you know.

I started playing a little bit around fifth grade, but this year I'm taking the class in high school and I'm on the school team. It's really fun and rewarding... Ever since I started playing more this year, I've gotten a lot more excercise and made a lot more friends! I especially like how it's not a contact sport. And you can play singles or doubles. I like doubles, but only if I like my doubles partner :)

Yeah he came to my high school. We didnt have a Vball team, so we put one together to play him, I was the only one on the team that played. Im pretty sure he beat us but it was close. It was a long time ago, I cant remember now. \n\nI would actually like to play him now and destroy him, haha.

I was a Coach at a Junoir High and a High School for many years. As a ninth-grader you can "play up" as a Super-Frosh. I had two occassions also where an eighth-grader was asked to "play up" on the High School JV Team for two games. The eighth-graders continued to play on the Jr. High Team after playing up, but Super-Frosh continued to play at the High School level. \nIn my district, Super-Froshes played on both High School Varsity and High School JV and eleventh-graders down to eighth-graders could play High School JV.\nI agree with the other responder that it is counter-productive to play down if you play well at a higher level. However, if you are on-the-fence, playing up selectively is a good idea.\n\nOldCoach
