11 Volleyball Terms You Need To Know For Tryouts!

It's that time of year, and you need to know these terms before trying out! It occurred to me that I use a ton of volleyball language, and I have yet to define it! This video will give some information on some of the terms you may hear throughout volleyball and volleyball tryouts. I am sure you will need to know this, and I am all about you getting informed as soon as possible. Can you think of any other terms that you will need to know?

UPDATE: I didn't make the team, but the coach appreciated that I was committed and willing to learn so he offered me a position as manager. He says that if I work hard and get more time in, I'm almost sure to make the team next year!

Hi Koko! My freshman tryouts start tomorrow and end on the 13th, I've never played volleyball before but I did summer camps in a club and then at Harper College, so I think I'll do well! Thank you so much for your tips! Okay so this is the second day of tryouts, i lost the first one because my doctor didn’t put that I was able to do sports, so yeah, but today so far has been good and I think my skills are pretty much average compared to what I thought, and that kinda makes me feel insecure about if I’m gonna make it or not- but ill try to not feel that way. Tomorrow is the last day and the coaches are emailing on Monday night to let us know if we got in one of the two freshman teams. I’ve been thinking about this moment since summer started so i really hope I make it :) Today was the last day, morning practice, and I think this has been my best day so far. I was loud on the court and out of it, played well and communicated; still have some practice to do but I think I did a really good job. The emails are out on Monday 5:30/6:00 pm, so I'll update then! I did not make the team:(

update?

[@sejcai]

alr so i tried out last year and didn’t make the team. i think the main reason for that is i had basically no experience playing in a game, so i was forgetting to call for the ball, didn’t know when to set the ball or just over it, and so because of that a lot of the times the ball ended up just dropping in the court. i have tryouts in 2 weeks and want to be able to go into the scrimmages we do with confidence, but i have 0 way to play in a game. my friends can’t play with me, and most of my family can’t play because of whatever they have going on at the moment (health issues, work etc.) basically the point i’m trying to make here is that there is practically no way for me to play in a ‘real’ game. i’’ve been practicing setting, passing, and serving for 2 years now so i want to move on to improving my game sense. is there *anything* i can do? there’s no clubs or recreational volleyball near me either 💀🤞
