Then they had us do this dot thing where you had to jump on these dots in a certain order + as fast as you can, and then they measured how high you could jump + how tall you were. Then we went to different stations and had to show them different sets, serves, digs, hits, etc. And then we played with different teams and stuff for a while. I don't know how long your tryouts are, so I don't know how much of that stuff you'll do [[ ours were like, 6 hours a day for a week, so .. yeah ]]. Good luck! =) [ xo_dream's advice column | Ask xo_dream A Question ]

i hope everything works out ok!

At my school, you have to run around the gym 10 times, you do sit ups, jumping jacks then push ups. Then you are put into teams and you play. Good luck on your volleyball try outs!

MFS answered Sunday August 15 2004, 8:39 pm: generally, we do a group warm-up and let the girls/guys (we've coached both) pepper for a while. Then we start the drills and panels - we run through basic skills: passing, setting, hitting, serving, footwork, and then we set up drills to look at game-play with short scrimages and things like that. Generally, we don't "interview" the players, but we make it a point to talk to them. Since tryouts were usually after a week of camp, we have a good idea of personalities and whatnot.
