sorry no help heredont be afraid of the ball\, thats the first thing. Dont be afraid to dive on your knees. Just pratace bumping and volleying around with a couple of friends. The rules of volleyball is very simple, when you serve your foot cant be over the line, the ball cant touch your plam when you volley or bump. And you can never touch the net or its the other teams ball. Volleyball is simple, just go to the tryout and you will learn in no time.
im trying to find out the same thing. it seems like everybody is soo good at volleyball and i SUCK!
Any open gym volleyball in waikiki area?
Getting better at Volleyball in minutes...!Yeah, it can be a tough game with volleyballs flying all over the place and the other players acting like pro's and then theres you..who ends up being gun shy and leaving with red arms and sore joints and who knows, maybe even being noted as one of the "not so good players". Well, don't worry... heres a couple tips you can use to make you at least 5 times better than you were last week.
First...be patient! Playing and learning the game takes time. You're not going to be a "pro" or look like a "pro" from the get go!
Second.. Bump the ball..don't "smash" the ball. Think of it this way. The ball is soft and gentle, treat it with compasion, even when spiking it. (more later on that)
Third...Control. Take a volleyball and with your arms extended and hands together, bump the ball about 3-6 inches high off your arms. Do this lightly and get a "feel" for the ball and what it can do. If you are standing doing this drill, make sure you bend your knees and move your feet. Again, nice and easy! Try do this, let's say 25 to 50 times in a row! I know you can do it.
(You can also practice setting, by forming an "O" with your thumbs and pointer fingers, along with your other fingers spread apart and gently push (set) the ball about 3-6 inches in the air. Again, nice and easy, don't force it. This should be a quiet drill and can be done inside. (Let's see a golfer do this, practicing hitting a golf ball...giggle, giggle)
Finally..Learn from others! Don't be afraid to ask someone, "How did you do that?" or "What can I do to be a better player?" This lets others know you are willing to learn the game and get better. It also lets them know your skill level and will give you some slack if you do make a mistake.
Going to the "court" to see a judge, should be scary!
Going to the "court" to play volleyball, should be fun!
Hang in there kid! Best of luck!
(ps.if you need a tip or two on serving or hitting the ball, drop me a line)
