Top Ten Things You Need To Know Before Trying Out!

[@vivianwang6722]

Tips from Koko: 1. Do not buy all the equipment in the Beginning 2. Don't forget to practice before going to tryouts 3. Start working on your stamina and endurance 4. Meet the coach 5. Understanding the positions 6. Make sure to watch some volleyball footage 7. Join a recreational team for experience 8. Understanding the rules of the game 9. Work on your inner confidence 10. Height and/or size does not matter

[@kary2008]

THANKS

[@MelodyyRose]

I agree don’t buy all of the equipment in the beginning because when I was trying out for softball my mom bought like 400 dollars worth of equipment and I couldn’t even try out Bc it got canceled and we couldn’t even take it back

Koko: you don't need to go be like hinata Me: 1 Im glad you know hiakyuu, 2 hinata worked on mainly stamina and he was still a beginner when he go to karosuno and couldn't get a good pass and I don't think he ever worked on his setting. So, while he worked hard, he still didn't go to the team with a ton of skill. He worked hard to improve with the team. Edit: take pride in you height, shoyo is short to.

On time stamp 8:40, I would like to say just how right you are! My team has mostly average height but this one girl who doubles as our setter is about 5'2" or so and she is one of the most powerful servers on our team and an incredible setter! P.S love your videos Koko!
