MLK Volleyball Tryouts ‘19

Rule #1 of tryouts DONT CATCH THE BALL!! even if the ball coming at you seems impossible to get... GO FOR IT!!

A couple of girls In my grade wore JEANS to tryouts. I was like “bruh”

*To whoever may be reading this Bro, don't worry, you got this. You have prepped for this. These gals ain't going nothing on you. You will make it. If you don't, don't take it to the heart, don't dawn upon it. You just need that extra push to propell you forward. It's not a bad thing. Next time you tryout, you will get in. Idk why I did this I saw people worrying in the comments so...anyways I don't know how this works we don't have volleyball here in the UK (well we do but like not in schools. As in not like America has it)

I’m a freshman and I just had tryouts and I made the team I was really happy so a little advice for the ones who have tryouts coming soon just be ready to be flexible and being able to move around. If you are playing a quick 6on 6 game and the ball is coming for you or near you and you want to go for the ball make sure you say “i got it” or “mine” so that the other players won’t bump into you. When your coach is testing your strength and that’s means striking make sure you have a good jump and your foot work is on point. When serving serve with your palm and not your fingers. You’ll probably get to bump or set back and forward with a partner so make sure your doing your best. Overall wish everyone who is trying out good luck! And remember it’s all or nothing.

no one asked but for 8th grade season 30 girls tried out and I was one of the 11 that made it. Honestly coaches are looking not only for skill but flexibility, good sportsmanship/ good and encouraging attitude, and coach-ability. glad u could help some people out :)

The girls in red and yellow are killing me rn I can’t it just

here’s a tip for upcoming players at tryouts!! ALWAYS have an amazing attitude. coaches keep track of everything, and they know everything. literally. ur attitude counts for PT (playtime). believe me, ur coach will not let anyone on that court with a horrible attitude. shake off ur mistakes with a smile. encourage ur teammates. never settle, and keep working forward, i promise ur going to get better. have fun, try your best, but most importantly, PLAY VOLLEYBALL! Good Luck!❤️

The girls in the red and yellow need to practice their bumps and not bending their arms when they do bump it

i love how half of the comments are about the girls in red and yellow lmao

the two girls in front of the camera honestly seems super cool and nice

The girl in yellow seemed so stressed out and angry because of the girl she was peppering with.

56:40 felt that. honestly the only reason I’m watching this is to see what to expect for my tryouts next year.

Volleyball is just an advanced version of hot potato.

the girls in the red and yellow were so cringey to watch

not trying to be rude to the girl in the red who was with the yellow.. but if the ball is close to the ground and you set it, its not going to work.

Tryout tips (probably ones you haven’t heard in every video you’ve watched) 1- don’t throw the ball in the basket unless you know your gonna make it, just set it in there!! In case you do miss...? 2- don’t get nervous when a coach is walking by, just play how you do, don’t try to just change it up!! If you mess up right in front of them, don’t even worry about it, they also look for how you react when you mess up. 3-Cheer for people when they do something good, everyone there is probably nervous, and you being a good teammate will not only help them, but looks good on you yo the coaches!! 4- if you don’t get the drill ASK SOMEONE that does!! It’s okay to ask questions!!! Have a good attitude!!!

our tryouts are like practice🥴 i didn’t make it this year but trying again!! it was kind of sad that I made it last year but this year I didn’t. all the girls from last year made it but me.. my emotions were mad and sad, sad I didn’t make it and mad because i didn’t practice enough and I could have done better. BUT you know what, I’ll try again this year and practice way more. mostly my serves because that my weak spot.

Today was last tryouts, I felt like I did terrible… on Monday they will be saying the teams, I hope I make it🥺 Edit (Mon, Dec 2, 2019) : I MADE THE TEAM!!

If it was boys at my school trying out, they would’ve SPRINTED THE WHOLE THING WITHOUT NO HESITATION

I was so ready but nervous I remember screwing up the whole tryout i didnt do a single thing right and i kept getting yelled at for my mistakes. Didnt make the team and got hardcore laughed at. Out of school volleyball is for me. I can do things really good but performing infront of the popular girls who tryed out made me freak out and anxious
