I keep screwing up in volleytennis and my partner complains
In my P.E. class, we're playing volleytennis and I'm not athletic at all. the problem is that I have a hard time hitting the ball over the net and I always screw up. so my partner who is always fustrated with me keeps complaining to everyone about me saying shes so stupid and lazy and she can't even play at all. No matter how much I try, I'll never get better. How should I deal with this?

practice then tell your p.e teacher

First of all, although I have never played volleytennis, I know that if I did, I would probably totally suck at it, like pretty much anything else involving athletics. So you are not alone.
Anyways, here are some things you should do:
1) Try to practice, even though it seems useless. If you have a friend who's good at it, ask him/her for some pointers or to help you practice.
2) If this doesn't work, tell your partner that vollytennis is something you're good at and that you would appreciate if s/he would help you get better rather than complain about it.
3) And if your partner is still being rude about it, ask your P.E. teacher if you could switch partners.
Good luck! I hope one of those suggestions works :)

oh mann i know EXACTLY what you mean...bc i can never and i mean NEVER hit the ball the right way when my gym class is playing tennis. (lol its not our fault if we arent very naturally talented at hittign a ball over a net I MEAN COEM ON) i think you should not let this person make you feel horrible just because you arent very capable at the sport. You should assure your partner that you are tryign your hardest and that you are not lazy or purposely beign stupid by hittign the net. I know its not easy, but i think the direct approach by saying straight forward that you dont liek what shes doing will change things. hope i helped =)

Oh dont worry!!!
I can never hit the volley ball over the net either, geez i'm short, and my attempts are always embarassing!
Tell your partner, that your not good at this sport, and its not that your lazy or stupid, but you are just not athetic, and that you would appreciate her to not talk about you.
Remind her that you are trying your best, but volleyball isnt your shining star, you can work on it, and keep trying, dont give up.
Dont let that one person make you selfconfident, beacuse the fact that you are asking for advice about what to do with a girl that I'd name a Bully, you have a good head on your shoulders, and it sounds like you really dont want to hurt her, but your being hurt by her.
Dont let her get to you, we all have things we are good and not good at , and maybe you should remind this girl of that.
any more questoins, send them to my inbox, i'd behappy to help<33

Don't say you'll never get better, because with that attitude you really won't. Who cares what the girl is saying, volleyball just isn't your sport! I'm sure one of your friends, or even the PE teacher can help you out. Or, like the other advicenators said, ask to trade partners. And, if i'm sure if you explain to your PE teacher why you want to, she'll probably not only put you with someone who's nice and doesn't care if your bad at volleyball, she/he will even offer to help you out, without you asking them. Good Luck love, hope I helped.

Hi
Maybe you could ask your P.E. teacher if you could trade partners.
Once you both find partners who are better matched to each of you, the learning experience will become more fun.
If that doesn't work, then maybe you should have a chat with your partner, and tell her that you are trying your best, and you'd really appreciate her backing off!!
Good luck, and always remember...as long as you are trying your best, then that's all you can do...and have fun!!
