How to earn a place on a volleyball team
by: Shannon Beineke

Making any volleyball team takes practice and commitment. Not only might there be fierce competition, but there's quite a bit for beginners to learn. Fortunately, with the right attitude experienced players and newbies alike can get their names on the volleyball roster.

How to Shine
Of course good technique will help you stand out at volleyball tryouts, but coaches are looking for more than skill. You don't have to be an amazing volleyball player to make JV. Even players who still need improvement can make varsity! If you really want to be on either roster, practice often before tryouts with an experienced friend or family member to coach you. Then work on your attitude. The coach will be looking for players who don't get discouraged easily. Even if you miss the ball 8 times in a row, only say positive things, and encourage others who get frustrated. Being a good influence can really heighten your chances of making the team!

JV vs. Varsity
Throughout the volleyball season, JV and varsity team members both have to meet certain expectations. Members of the junior varsity team are chosen more for their potential than their actual skill. They're expected to practice and improve their game, so one day they might make the varsity team. Those already on varsity are also expected to practice and improve; however, they'll also be expected to perform well in the beginning. Competition is much more intense at that level. Team members need to have impressive abilities from the start. JV and varsity volleyball players should be equally committed to progressing, playing well, and having fun.

The Final Results
After hours of practice and nerve-racking tryouts, the final results will be posted. So what happens if you don't make the team? Start by nicely asking the coach why you weren't chosen. Find out what needs improvement, and give yourself plenty of time to work on the problem. Then start practicing for next year! Also see if you can replace anyone who quits or gets injured during volleyball season; this shows you're commitment to the team. Even if you don't get to play, practice often throughout the year, developing better volleyball skills and a more positive attitude. You could make it straight to Varsity the next time around!
