Do You Have To Be The Best Runner To Play Volleyball?

Question:

I'm trying out for my high school volleyball team next year. I'm nervous about tryouts because I HATE running. If I don't run good in tryouts will they not put me on the team?

Answer:

Most coaches use running to weed out players at tryouts. For example, if you're too lazy to run then the coach won't likely take you. The coach wants kids that will try hard and give a lot of effort.

Most coaches won't have the kids a lot run during the season. Running is mainly just used at tryouts to see which kids are the most serious about playing.

Here are some tips for tryouts.

1. Wear something that stands out. You want the coaches to easily remember you.

2. Show tons of effort.

3. Do whatever the coach asks.

4. Show up early and warm up. Act excited to be there.

5. Be friendly to other players.

6. Do your best.
