Is it hard to make high school volleyball team?

We Answered:

If you are a freshmen going into the high school then this is the best time to show the coaches how you play. If your school has a freshmen team then it is easier to make it on then if they only have a JV and Varsity team. Coaches want to see that you have skill but they also want to see that you are dedicated. If you keep trying your hardest even after you make a mistake then the coaches will also recognize that. It also helps to keep practicing in your spare time and to keep improving. If your school has open gyms where you can get a chance to work with any of the coaches those are also helpful to go to. I made the freshmen team this year but at the end of the season the varsity coach asked me to play in a varsity tournament with them so as long as you keep working and stay dedicated you should be fine

should immigrants serve 2 year term in service as part of becoming American citizen ?

Ah, Civil Service. A great idea, however, we are not a Socialist society. Therefore, we would never be able to pass such a law.

HELP! I need to learn how to volleyball overhead serve!

We Answered:

I had the same problem so here are some tips:
1. Watch your hand when you hit the volleyball and make sure you are hitting the ball some where between the bottom of your hand and the middle of your hand, not your fingertips or the balls of your hand.
2. Also make sure that when you hit the ball, your hand remains stiff, straight, and your DO NOT hit the ball down. Its a natural reflex for you to bring your arm/hand down as soon as you hit the ball, but this could result in the ball being almost 'pushed' down rather than up.
3. As a follow up to number 2, its a good idea to tilt your hand slightly up towards the sky so that you are actually pushing the ball up.
4. Make sure you are hitting the ball when it is high in the air, and not when it is face-height. It should be the height of your out-and-up stretched arm.
5. Also make sure it is at least half a foot to a foot away from you, so you are not backing up. Backing up causes the ball to lose energy.
6. Following up number 5, make sure it isn't too far that you have to take a few steps before hitting it, which exhausts YOUR strength.

Remember to practice and if you still cant get it, tell the coach to give you more of a chance to show off your other team skills, such as spiking, defense work, setting, or bumping. Anything that you are good at ask to show more of, in exchange of the serving. Sometimes coaches like to take players that are excellent at other positions, but bad at some. good Luck@
