Participating in a sport is great. If you are going to try out for a team sport be sure that you are aware what playing volleyball for a team will involve. Be ready to commit to your practices and putting forth your best effort. If you are not willing to sacrifice free/leisure time for a team sport like volleyball, then maybe its not for you. You're team mates will be counting on you.

Tell all the people that had said that that they are a bunch of crap cause reagradless of what they say dosnt matter tat you should believe them. Just REad some of this information:\n\nIn 1995, the sport of Volleyball was 100 years old! The sport originated in the United States, and is now just achieving the type of popularity in the U.S. that it has received on a global basis, where it ranks behind only soccer among participation sports.  Today there are more than 800 million players worldwide who play Volleyball at least once a week.\n\nVolleyball, like basketball, is a sport whose origin is known almost to the day. Oddly enough, both sports were invented at the same college and within a few years of one another. Volleyball was invented in 1895 by William G. Morgan, a student at Springfield College and a director of the YMCA at Holyoke, Massachusetts. The game was originally called "Mintonette".\n\nVolleyball quickly spread around the world and became more popular in other countries than in the United States. The Fédération Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB) was formed in 1946. The sport was introduced to the Olympics in 1964 by the Japanese, although it was never contested as a demonstration sport at the Olympics. No country has been truly dominant in volleyball, although the Soviet Union has won the most medals. Originally the Japanese had the world's best women players while the United States had the best men's team in the world throughout the 1980s.\n\n\nVolleyball has now reached great heights of popularity in the United States and Brazil, largely thanks to the discipline of beach volleyball.\n\n\nThe beach volleyball phenomenon, although hugely visible, is still just in its infancy. From the first FIVB World Tour event just over ten years ago, to the overwhelming spectator and television success of 'Beach' at the Atlanta 1996 and Sydney 2000 Olympic Games, beach volleyball has opened up Volleyball to a completely new market.

The best way to learn the sport is to play it.  Check to see if your local YMCA, Boys and Girls Club or Parks and Rec have a league.  Make sure you are in an appropriate competitive level.  At the YMCA where I coach, there is a Rec League for players just getting started and two levels of competitive leagues for the more advanced players.\n\nThey are more expensive, but if you are afraid of the ball invest in a nice leather ball.  The Tachikara SV-5WS is a nice ball to start with if you are older than 12 and the Tachikara Volleylight is a nice ball if you are 12 or younger.\n\nThe thing I love most about volleyball is that hard work and attitude is more important that natural ability.  Give it a shot and approach it with an attitude of having fun.

Volleyball is a game of strategy, you have know where you are at all times and you players, as well.  I played two years at a D1 university and both years I started. It is a very wonderful sport and it is a lot of fun.  If you don't know how to play , learn it's fun and easy.

There are plenty of professional beach volleyball players in California, and the name of the professional league is called the AVP for the Association of Volleyball Professionals. The most famous players are Karch Kiraly, and Misty May (sp?).\n\nTwenty five years ago, there was in professional indoor league, but that disbanded long before you were born.\n\nLastly, your spelling/grammar is atrocious. Please don't think that TXT shortcuts are appropriate anywhere other than your cell phone.

Yes!! I love to play tennis.  I have even started my own team at school becuase we didn't previously have one.  With a little more practice I believe we will be ready to compete and I am seriously considering joining a community team for the coming year.  So while I don't currently compete I hope to in the future.

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.

Go on the website of the college you want to play for (one that is near you) and find the volleyball part in the college athletics section. They always have the full schedule on there. You should also try to contact a coach for a nearby college and ask and I am sure they will inform you of dates. (most colleges allow walk-on tryouts even though they might not advertise it ..so double check)
