r/volleyballtraining

I just got into my first real volleyball team with no experience whatsoever. I only play volleyball as a hobby and it’s usually just peppering with friends.

I know basic things like 6 player each court, how points and scoring works, and Libero and setter. Other than that I don’t know all the niche little rules, actual volleyball positions (like what is DS??), and volleyball language/slang.

It’d also be helpful if anyone gave any tips whether it’s about performance, practice drills, unspoken vb rules, etc.

I also DK how to read the volleyball schedule that talks about the upcoming games (like what does “bye” mean..?)

For context im searching for something that requires a strong mindset bc im kinda bored about me giving up when i cant do smt but also im not sure if i truly wanna play a sport that is too team dependant. idk if im expressing myself right but im also going to the gym and i fell great about it no doubts but i tried soccer,basket and many other things (including videogames) but i still get overwhelmed easily when i play with a team. Maybe my problem is mental but maybe sports that requires a team or just other persons to play it are not my thing especially volleyball bc firts i cant even do a receipt correctly or just even keep the ball on the air when others can do it without any problem even without any training fck it even my hole grade can do it without any problems. Second im not even able to understand the rules of soccer im gonna understand the rules of volley and third im just scared to try one more time and not being able to even play correctly or just that my team treats me with leam when i cant even maintein the ball on the air without even moving :b

I’m 21 years old, and I’ve never been on a volleyball team or even practiced enough, I know the basics mostly because my father didn't like it but it’s something I’ve enjoyed since I was a kid. I’m curious about finding people to play with; I currently live in NJ.

so basically. I just finished eighth grade now I’m in the summer between eighth grade and ninth grade. so I (13f) am gonna try volleyball next year as a freshman. I love playing vb with my friends and I’m always very excited and even sleep dreams of playing it. The only problem is that even though I’ve watched a ton of videos, on the different positions and all the rules and stuff, I still have never played competitively and I have to do tryouts to get on the team and I really want to be like good. my plan is to get a volleyball, practice every day and do drills every day until tryouts. And ofc keep doing drills even after tryouts and the week of tryouts, but I’m still super nervous. anyone who has tried out and maybe even made the team for vb, or hasn’t but just has some tips for me to prepare for tryouts in a month, that would be sooooo helpful. THANKS FOR READINGGGGGG

Sometimes my knees pop out and then go back in quickly. It’s not extremely painful but is very uncomfortable. Does anybody else have this and if so what do you do to stop it? Thanks!
