I’m going in to tryouts for middle school but I’m having trouble having fast transition from the volley to the bump do you have any tips for quick transitions? also your videos have helped me progress and become better a volleyball so much tysm :)
I started watching you in 7th grade before tryouts because I knew nothing about volleyball. Now I’m a sophomore Varsity MB and a starter with 4 other seniors. You are probably the reason I learned what I needed to during my first tryout in middle school. Thank you so much, truly.
@@gangsteronionWatch videos on the basics! Like passing, setting, hitting, and serving. Make sure to practice these daily in order to get better. And remember it’s okay to not be good at it first, everyone was once a beginner ❤
Being coachable is a HUGE thing, I recently switched from setter to middle and don’t know most of the footwork. During club tryouts yesterday, the coaches were teaching it to me on the spot to see if I could catch on quick and make the changes. Apparently, I did a good job because I got on the 17s team as a 14 year old 5’8” middle. I played on the C team at my high school this year and now I’m playing with the varsity girls! (given my vertical is good, almost all the other hitters are above 5’ 11”)
I made the team because of you!! I literally had no idea how to play, but I still made b team. I’ll try to be on a team next year. We just had our first game and we won. So glad I tried volleyball it’s so fun!
I didnt make it lol, (this was like 2 months ago btw) but they had more than double the amount of people they needed and i had no prior experience so i wasn't that good. however it showed me my love of volleyball and had a lot of fun in the 5 days they held tryouts. anyway i did cross country bc if you get cut from a sport my school lets you do cross country. At first i kinda hated it because we kind of just ran 1-2 miles everyday and it was hot but as soon as i found people to run with it was actually really fun, basically dont be afraid to try out or try new things.
You helped me out soooo much!!!! I tried out in 7th grade but didn’t make it but I watch your videos and worked hard and made the 8th grade team the next year! I have gotten so much better even without practice every day with a net or a team. In my pe class we play volleyball in a circle and that has helped me tremendously with calling the ball and ball control. I am trying out for jv this year (our tryouts are at the end of the school year so we practice all summer) and I am so excited but scared. Your videos helped me a lot thank you!!! Edit: I MADE JV!!!!
hey coach koko! your videos have helped me out so much. i tried out for volleyball for the first time on tuesday and wednesday. because of you, you helped me make the team! thank you so much!
hey coach koko! i have been watching all your videos and i made the team! but i just broke my ankle during practice so i’m out for the season! thank you for helping me get a spot on the team! 💗

Hey coach Koko! I was supposed to have tryouts this week but because of the fire it got canceled. So I have seen all your videos and I hope that I make it next week!
🏐Some tips🏐 are to be kind and try to be friends with the people there also really try your best.Remember call the ball also cheer for the other people there. And lastly have fun and leave with a smile ❤️🏐☺️

y'all i'm 15 with absolutely no experience at all but i really really really want to start volleyball. i'm learning the basics and going to practice all summer. but i'm super nervous and don't really know if i am brave enough to join a team at this age. does anyone have any tips???
Girl I am a freshman too, at first I wanted to do basketball but I realised how much I love volleyball. Just be yourself, introduce to everyone and cheer people on, the worst case scenario is you don't get on the team but you still have the next 4 years to try. I hope tryoits go well for you.
I’m a sophomore and I’ve only played a few times but I don’t know most of anything about this game and it seems fun I really just want to try something new I’m gonna devote myself to practicing
@@MaiOConnor-wf3xbA platform is basically where you are passing the ball off of. If they are telling you to hold your platform together they probably mean keeping your arms together until the ball completely leaves your arms. A lot of people separate their arms before the ball completely leaves (usually beginners). But basically this commenter just meant if a coach has a tip for you, use it! And it will help you approve and also show the coach that you are willing to listen :)
I'm too late in the try outs 😔. I was so scared that I didn't go because I was so scared to be judged cuz I didn't know how to serve floats or jump serves ( i only know underhand serves). I think it's too late too cuz I'm now in 9th grade and I still don't have improvements.
Hey Koko!!! I made my team but I barley get any playtime and at practice I work really hard is there anything I need to work on to make the coaches notice me better???
i tried out yesterday, had a horrendous off day and was offered position of manager. im scared to accept it because i have no idea what im doing and its hard to find anything about it really :( can someone help me? my coaches said that i do everything the other players do except get a jersey and play in matches, but what else do i do? do i put my bag in the locker room? do i even need kneepads? ughh im stressed 🙁🙁
I don't know if this is too late but if taking the maager position is the only thing the couch is offering I'd take it and use that season to learn but if you still have a chance on getting on the team, I would take it!
Hey guys I'm currently in grade 10 with no previous experience in volleyball. I have try outs in 5 days, I'll update if I make it. I've played beach volleyball for fun and did track so I have a chance I think...
I love your vid KoKo I am trying out for the first time(7th grade middle school) and I just wanna say to others like me be prepared if you have a meaning coach you are going to run for not saying mine some are very picky about that and make sure take that responsibility and HUSTLE
can someone give me a tip I'm in 10th grade but I don't even know how to play volleyball but this week i really like to tryout in volleyball AT SCHOOL but I'm scared cause I'm like a TOTALLY BEGINNER 😭😭😭😭
oh my god i wish i saw this sooner, im kinda quiet so i didnt make the team mostly because i couldnt call mine loud enoughh :-( ill for sure make it next year though!
Does anyone have any advice to get rid of tryout jitters? I don’t play volleyball on a team, I have never really played in a team setting, but i know the basics and would say I’m pretty good, but I want to try out. I am afraid that I will be humiliated if I don’t make it, if I mess up, or don’t know anyone there. I would love to hear some advice and maybe hard truths, thank you!
it's never too late, I started training at the beginning of the year, and already am the captain of my school team as a sophomore good luck on your training :)
I'm kinda scared joining our volleyball team I really have no experience in volleyball I never played it in elementary or anything It's just a recent thing that I found out I like But I really wanna try out sports specifically volleyball 🥲
Thanks Koko!!! We LOVE YOU! Edit: if you have team managers that wanna tryout next year for the team, do you pick them next year based on how they did as manager??
Sometimes it’s just biased bc you already know them, so besides that, it’s based more on skill but if you’re pretty good and they’re already familiar with you, you have a really good chance of getting picked and you’ll probably just be another mama get if you don’t which is rare
