Okay, so I am trying out for high school volleyball in august, and over the summer, I am going to try getting ready. Running, everything. Well, my questions are
1. What exactly can l do to get ready?
2. What is a shuttle run?
3. What will the coaches be expecting me to do? And how do l prepare for it?
4. What is some of the terminology? (l know some l just need the complicated stuff because my coach this year did not teach us squat -.-)
5. Is it good to go to a camp?
Help please :(

it all depends on what position u want to play..if u want to be a libero/ds or somesort of passing..then definately work on ur balance & ur flexibility
if u want to be a setter work on ur hands & the ways u may set a voleyball
if u want to be a hitter/blocker go to the beach or any sandy area & jump in the sand to work on ur jump
also work on ur form for all these different things.so that #5 with a big YES!
a shuttle run is basically where u start on the middle cone with a cone to ur right maybe 30 feet away & a cone to ur left 30 feet away
this drill is all about speed & u can..start on the middle one.and then sprint to the right/left & then sprint all the way to the opposite side
coaches like seeing quick bursts of speed not as much endurance.endurance is only for something like jumping a lot
coaches may be expecting u to do all sorts of crazy things
serving..hitting.passing..setting
u really cant tell.just watch some coaching videos in youtube & go to a camp
terminology...ace.when ur serve is untouched..kill when the hit is hit down
assist.when the setter sets a kill
dig..when the passer digs a hit
u should do fine as long as ur in shape & its always ok to ask the coach questions
GOOD LUCK!

1. camps, camps, camps at this point. also run for stamina (& if u need to like do a mile test). also like do little drills at home by yourself and/or with someone else.
2. im not really sure but l think its running really fast for a short amount of time. to test agility l think, rather than stamina.
3. just play volleyball well.. or look like u have some potential. thats it.
4. get a volleyball book from the library. when l started volleyball thats what l did to get some things down quicker & looked up the game & everything.
5. yes!!! or the percentage of u making it off hand r very very low, assuming ur new to volleyball

hoping l helped!

1: Well what a lot of volleyball coaches look for is hustle. So make sure that u r in good shape. l would start out running half a mile a day & build up to 1 mile, 2 miles, 2 & a half. Make sure u have ur over-hand serve down & know the rest of the basics.
2: A shuttle run is when u run the short length of a gym, pick up an object (usually an eraser) set it down on the line, go back & pick up another one, & cross the finish line, & it is timed.
3. The coaches will probly be expecting u to know how to set, spike, serve, pass, & know the defense. You can learn all of these things by asking a friend to help prepare with u & visiting a camp.
4. There r many kinds of defense that ur coach may want to run. There is 4-2, international, & lots of others.. l would google them & become familiar.
5: YES, YES, YES! l would suggest going to multiple camps if u can. Not only r they TONS of fun but if u r a first-time especially the instructors there will help u out soo much. It could be the difference between u making the team or getting cut. l strongly advise it & i've been playing for 3 years.

GOOD LUCK!!
