Feedback:  Yes I do have a lot of experience with this.  Mud volleyball is a blast.  If you can control wetness of the mud, err on the wet side.  \nWarnings:  Make sure to remove any sticks, rocks, or derbi because people will dive if the mud is soft enough.    \nStrategy:  It's all about spacing your players out evenly around your side of the court/mud.  If you can, always hit it to the opposing team's weakest player every time!  \nGood Luck!!!

First, walk it.  Get your footwork right to the point where you don't have to think about what you're doing.  Get about five yards away, and decide which way you want to roll.  If you're going to roll left, get used to planting your left foot and basically doing a pivot on that foot.  Your momentum should carry you around to the left, moreso if you cross your foot over a bit - step to the right with your left foot.  To roll right, plant your right foot, just reversing everything.  Then work up to a jog, run, and sprint.  Make sure you include a run-up in your practice - it's not really a dodge if you're standing still.  If you have a cone or tree to dodge around, that'll help.  When you have the footwork down, refine your stickwork.  You want to be low and in, so that the defender can't use an over-the-head check and strip the ball.  Keep the stick down and tight to your body, but be careful not to "chest" the ball.

If it's not until next year then you should defiantly look for a club in your area to play on for the time being.  There's no better practice then playing organized volleyball.  Also if there is any beach organizations or even just random tournaments then look into it.

1. Get the ball off the ground as first as possible\n2. Keep in communication with your fly-half to know his position.\n3. Talk to your forwards and inform them of where you expect the next setpiece to be depending on the move you are doing..for rucking to be efficient.\n4. Push your forwards to the edge whenever they are mauling..ask for the ball to be channeled ans sl;ap them to push harder.\n5. Try to get the ball of the ground in one motion to the fly half..as in dont lift the ball then flow it.\n6. Compose yourself..you are the pacesetter...this is so as to give the game a good pace comfortable for your team players.\n7. Play for fun...dont trouble yourself with thoughts of letting the team down..you did your best.

good job\nnice hit\nthats the way to run bases\ngood running\n\nbeing a coach is really hard.. i used to love volleyball but my coach made me hate it.. now i play softball and i love it.. my volleyball coach used to yell at me all the time, she used to make me feel bad about what i did, she never gave constructivecriticism.. she told you "you did not serve well, you suck at that" but she would never help me, when i switched to softball, my coach told me my mistakes but helped me work on them, during practice he helped me and he never puts me down... he says things like "we could work on your batting during next practice" but he never said things like "sucks, bad, no good" all words are always positive. \n\nGood luck!!

When I do volleyball clinics covering serving, I spend as much as 30 minutes discussing the mental approach and the mechanics of serving.  In this format it is difficult to cover much more than just the basics of it.  Most people learn best from having someone tell them how to do it and then show them how to do it - you should look in your area for any camps you can go to.  I know in my area there are a couple of high schools that have offered camps, I will be doing one out of the YMCA where I coach and the local universities offer camps.\n\nJust some tips\n1.  It is easier and therefore more comfortable to hit the ball closer to your body (letting it drop lower before swinging at it).  One of the biggest mistakes I see is players doing that so that they are at least making contact with the ball.  Don't fall into that trap.  Make contact up and away from your body - you may miss completely a few times as you get your timing down.  So what, it will pay off in the end.\n2. Make sure you are swinging at the ball.  I see a lot of players that are developing an overhand serve, drop their elbow and swing with a "shot put" motion.  During your swing, your elbow should never drop below your shoulder.\n3. All of your movement should be forward through the ball towards your target.  Imagine a narrow box in front of you that you have to pass through.  The biggest mistake I see players make is stepping sideways and swinging at the ball with their shoulders and hips square to the net.You should be turning your waist through your swing  - 50% of your power comes from that motion.  When you step out, you are robbing yourself of that power.\n\nThe thing I try to remind my players is serving is about confidence and mechanics.  I have a girl that plays for me who is about 4'11" to 5' tall and has a very slight build - she is able generate incredible power when she hits the ball.  She has an incredibly consistent and strong serve and in our last season she was in the top 3 or 4 on the team in serves even though she was the smallest player.  She is very confident and she has awesome mechanics.\n\nUse your mind to practice.  Visualize yourself serving.  You should see yourself serving using perfect mechanics and being successful with each serve.  You should do at least 20 "mental serves" a day.\n\nGood luck

Just keep taking grounders.  Get in front of the ball.  Keep your glove down.  Watch the ball all the way into your glove.  Use two hands.  Don't worry about making the throw; you have to field the ball first. Don't get nervous. Just keep practicing and work on the fundamentals that I described.

You should be in excellent shape when you try out.  Then listen to the coach and follow his directions to the best of your ability. If you don't make the team this year, volunteer to help in some way.  Ask the older players for tips.  Watch and listen during practices.  Speed is important but more important is the ability to listen and learn.  Good luck!

What I usually did before a game (way back in the fall...anyone else think field hockey should be year-round?) Was run a lap around the field, stretch (backbend pushups are good, and lots of leg-stretching). Then I'd drive and push pass with a friend. 3 offense players against 2 defense player (plus the goalie)is a good defensive drill and a 3-man weave ( 3 people pass the ball back and fourth in a braid and then shoot on goal) is a good offensive drill. Scrimagaing helps a lot too, if you can get enough people together.\n As for equipment, a stick, mouthguard, shinguards, spikes/cleats, and for indorr hockey you shoud have a glove since your hands are so low to the ground.

Try-Out! Like you said, you already know the worst that can happen is not making the team. You will always have that what if I tried out--would I have maken the team if you don't. If you know a volleyball player- before tryouts ask them if they can help you brush up on a few skills. Good Luck!
