Volleyball!!!
I have been in volleyball for like 4 years and now that i am going into highschool i was wondering what i can do to improve my "skills". Like work-outs or practices? My new coach is a B***h and she wont help anyone unless its during our normal summer practices.

Oh My gosh! there are so many! :] okay here are most of what I do, that REALLY help for me in games and im sure they'll help you too.
1.Practice Jumping and swinging your arms at the same time for about 5 minuets
2.shuffle right,left,back,fourth for a long time, it'll really get you to feel the burn & sweat.
3.get a volleyball and hit it down against a wall or set against a wall back and fourth
4.stretch your arms a lot if your a spiker/setting but if your mostly in the back do a lot of leg work since you have to shuffle a lot
5.to strengthen your fingers, my couch acctually has us flex our fingers in and out and in and out a lot adn it really does help
6.if you have a basketball hoop try setting the ball into it, i know it sounds weird but it helps you with accuracy and height to [ajusting the hoop]
7.i go on runs a lot so I won't get tired out in games and am used to my heart going really fast and stuff
8.for spiking you toss the ball i the air a little over your head and spike it down to work on your wrist snap
9. practice setting as high as you can everyday
10.practice your approach for spiking like : Left [arms in front, big step], Right [ arms back] left/jump and swing your arms forward ad snap the imaginary ball down
11.set/bump/spike back and fourth with a friend and count how many times you can
12.If you like any of those/all of them make a daily routine and i garentee you'll get better.
like Monday=Hitting/approach/hit against wall
Tuesday=Running/suicides/shuffling
Wednesday=Setting/setting against wall/finger stretch&flex
and on and on and on.
Hope I helped! send feedback please. Good Luck! :]]]

heyyy. ive been playing volleyball for soo long and its so much fun. there are some things that you can do tp just improve your all around game. simple things like jump training...like tuck jumps and leap frog and stuff like that. jumping higher helps sooo much in volleyball.
also i would just do some overall conditioning. but as far as improving your actual skills i would suggest asking an upperclassmen or your captain to help you like before or after practice. if you're coach wont help then i would just say ask girls on your team, its alot easier to practice when you actually have a net and people to play with.
Also...if its possible i would play some beach volleyball...it sounds really dumb but it really helped me a lot!
good luck!

You deffinately should work-out before conditioning. I did absolutely nothing all summer last year, and tried out for freshmen volleyball at the end of summer. It was terrible. I was so out of shape and I was sore for a few days. The first day we did the indian run for ten minutes on the track. We had to pass this like 10 pound volleyball while running [the indian run is running in a line, the last person sprints up to the front of the line, and repeat]. As if that wasn't enough, then we had to run up and down the bleachers 9 times. We did 3, then took a 30 second break, then did it twice more. Then, we did drills. So, just be prepared.
Drills. Go somewhere in your house, probably the basement, or the gym if you can, and just hit the ball at the wall, like you're spiking. Also, go by the wall and jump, like you're blocking. Reach as high as you can with your fingertips. If you have a volleyball net, invite some friends over and play. Have your friends or parents toss you the ball, then spike it. When you're at practice [before or after] have a friend toss the ball short, so you have to dive for it.
If you go to practice early or stay late, it'll show your coach you're really putting forth the effort. The coach should help you, because that's what coaches are for, but she doesn't, and that's fine. Just have a friend stay after with you. If you need more ideas, just let me know. Good luck! :)
