I agree with Susan, or at least that's what it was before.\n\nI quit about 2 years ago, but I was a level 9 gymnast. I used to compete a lot, about once a week, sometimes on major holidays. I loved the sport, and still do. I quit and moved on to do so much more, but I still love it!

A few questions - unless I'm missing somethiing here.\n\n1.  Each team has to play 19 games in order for all to play each other?   That means 190 games in that time frame?\n\n2. Not familiar with the term 'pitches'.  Is this another word for 'playing fields' ?  \n\n3. If it's youth football - is there a time limit to the game?\n\n4. Do you have to schedule a playoff at the end?\n\n---------\nOK -  You obviously sustained a moment of insanity when you volunteered for this.  \nYou have your hands full on this one. \nI'm still trying to digest it all. \nWill let you know if I come up with something.\nGood luck Mom!

I would do a websearch on colleges in your area.  Most schools that have a volleyball program will have a summer camp during that time.  Also you could search under Nike, they have a bunch throughout the summer.  Finally I would look at the USVBA.  They may have links for other camps.\n\nGood luck and keep playing....it is a great sport and only gets better the more you know.

I've never heard of this technique.  Is it offered everywhere in the country?  I'd love to do something that isn't very high impact b/c I have back problems so maybe this might be good for me.  Thanks for bringing it to my attention! :)

I will certainly recommend your reading or visiting James E.

The highest level of competition that I've participated in were National's.  I tried it 3 times, I won 1st (gold) for team kata (2nd time I entered) and 2nd (silver) for individual kata (3rd time I entered).  I didn't win anything the first time I tried, and my heart was in sparring competitively (in all competitions I've entered).

Okay I'll be honest. I used to play DDR in high school, it was kind of the cool thing to do. I played it for fun and was completely unaware of it's weight loss benefits. I was eating burritos and chimichangas at school everyday and for some reason I was only 104 lbs at 5'2".  Then I stopped playing DDR and didn't understand why I started gaining weight because I hate to exercise also. Now I know why I gained all the weight.\n\nSo by all means, DDR is a great cardio exercise. If you like it, even better!

I am trying it out as well.  I'm still on Learn & Burn, as I still don't feel coordinated enough to go on to the next video. :)  I always sweat like a pig, and feel like I'm getting a good workout, but I don't get sore as easily as I did w/other workouts.  \nI think you should at least give TJ a chance.  I would say if you don't see SOME kind of results in a month, it's time for a change.  Best of luck to ya hun! :)

When I played football I was really slow. During one summer I some exercises that took over a second off my 40yrd dash.\nRun 10 40 yard dashes foreword\nRun 10 40 yards dashes backwards\nRun sprints down hill.\nThe last one did a lot of good. \nDo this at least 4 imes a week.\nThese suggestions may sound silly but I promise they worked for me.

Yes its great. I'm 5'5 and can almost dunk if i could palm the ball better. If he works out in the gym more his jump will be alot better. Let him do squats, calf raises, and other leg strengthners. This is what helped me.

I'm about your height and played volleyball in HS.  If I remember right (yes, it's been a few years ago...), my problems with spiking weren't with height or jumping, it was with getting the timing down.  Sometimes it helped if my Dad or sisters just fed the ball to me so I could time the jump right.  Work on that over and over and see if you improve.  It made a lot of difference in my game.

Nice to see another Singaporean online!\n\nHave you thought of approaching the Singapore Sports Council to ask for help. If it is a school related team, you could ask the MOE Physical Education department for some expertise as to how to coach and train a team, and do it yourself.

Let’s start here; first and foremost steroids are not magic! They are not the sole ingredient that will make a super physique. Now don’t get me wrong, steroids do work, but not in the way the media hype would have you to believe. The way steroids are portrayed in the media is absolutely false. They make it seem as if taking AAS is what led the athlete to be as “great” as he or she was…again, false. Did they help the athlete? Absolutely, but without an already established diet and training program they would not have produced the results that they did. \n\nLet’s now turn to competitive bodybuilding, since that is the easiest place for me to argue my points. As a competitive BB myself, I have used AAS for sometime now. When I first started I started out very slow, low doses usually one compound per cycle, just to see how my body would react to various compounds…but I did not do this until I had first spent several years in the gym and several years researching AAS…there is a lot to be said for reaching and establishing a good “natural” base, and even more to be said about establishing a firm grip on the reality of AAS before starting to use them. \n\nNow do I think that taking AAS is dangerous? It can be, but I am a firm believer that with responsible use they can be a very useful tool in aiding any competitive bodybuilder. When you hear all of the horror stories in the news about AAS you can 9 times out of 10 pin point what really caused the problem. For example, inadequate information about the proper way to use AAS by the user, lack of knowledge about how to come off AAS cycles, i.e. PCT, use of recreational drugs and or alcohol while on an AAS cycle, poor hygiene habits in using AAS…the list could go on and on. \n\nNext off you might ask, should AAS be part of the plan for a competitive bodybuilder? Maybe, maybe not, but they are a reality of the sport and because of this reality they are necessary for anyone who wishes to be truly competitive in the sport. \n\nWhat about long term affects? In the post above mine the individual states that taking AAS will damage you later in life. Is this true? It may be, but if proper precautions are taken I would say this is false. For example, if you have two 50 yr old men, 1 took AAS for years, the other didn’t, and will the user be worse off then the non-user? In terms of testosterone levels absolutely not. By age 50 whether you have used AAS or not your test levels will be approaching the bottom end of the spectrum…after all, why do you think so many men over 50 now find themselves on HRT. \n\nAs far as other risk, sure there may be some down the road; no one has ever said that the AAS game is perfect and that no harm will come. With that in mind it is up to each individual to weigh these risks themselves to determine if AAS is right for them. It may or may not be a risky game, but so many things in life are a risk and to reach certain goals risk are often part of the equation \nHonestly I’m not exactly sure what all you are looking for here, so I hope some of this helps out. If there is anything at all you’d like to know or ask about AAS please feel free to PM me with questions and I will be glad to help you out.

how in heavens name do you expect to be ready for tryouts if you were out of shape?....you shouldve been working out and training leading up to the tryouts if you want a sporting chance of making the team...my feeling is anyone who shows up out of shape for tryouts doesn't deserve to be on the team...and since you did it doesn't seem you are seriously committed to work hard for the team...i suggest you skip this year and prepare yourself in earnest for next year
