Hi you guys! I know that so many of you found me because you want to play volleyball. But....how do you know if you should play? Well, this video will help you out! Make sure to like, comment, subscribe, and share! Keep Playing, Coach KoKo ♡
I’m using this school year to learn how to play. It’s not that I like really really want to, but I have to play a sport in order to be in athletics. Volleyball is the one that has my most interest. In all honesty I’m a soccer player. I’m using your channel to practice my forms and what not so thank you! ^^
Yes for sure! I just wanted to know if you could do a video explaining what it would take for a freshman to make varsity?! I’m a freshman and I play completely and I play beach volleyball! I love the sport! A video like this would be beyond helpful for me! I would love to make varsity and it has always been a goal of mine! Thank you and love u! I have volleyball tryouts on Monday and I’m getting stressed!
I just wanted to say that you are the most understandable person on TH-cam, if it wasn’t for you, I wouldn’t have made the team. I thank you so much for putting videos out to help People that is playing volleyball for the first time. I love your channel, so keep up the great work.❤️
I can agree, serves are difficult but you just have to find the right one for you. You just have to get in the groove and remember everyone has a different serve… they’re kind of like your thumbprint. lol
@@lhdinero8874 I know. I'm still practicing the standard standing serve. No matter how much I practice at home or how high the serve looks to go, it still isn't high slough to go over a net.
@@miajohnson2505 I was the exact same for 3 years. Nothing worked!!! Make sure your hitting the ball at the highest point of your arm and try to hit it fast! Hitting it fast helps it go farther.
The way I liked volleyball the first time I played it at 13, never played it for years after bcos I was unconfident, watched Haikyu!! and got back into it STRONG
For me the funnies part of volleyball is how I started playing in the first place; I was waiting in our elementary school gym and my friends were playing while I was just watching. They invited me to practice with them but I knew nothing about volleyball- I agreed eventually and I was awful! It was hilarious but I realized I really liked playing, so I got put on the team and while waiting for soccer practice I’d go and play volleyball! It was a complete coincidence that I started playing but I’m glad I did cause now I love it ❤️❤️
Usually when I try a new sport and learn how to play I start to love it, it's normal not to like playing a sport if you don't play well but with time and practicing you start enjoying it I used to play volley ball at school but we were all beginners and it wasn't interesting so I didn't like it that much but the year after I started enjoying it as I start learning it in a club
I’m a first time coach for my daughters team I’m so nervous I’ve been researching drills and basics to help my team! I played in middle/high school. That’s was many many years ago! Thank you for your videos!
These videos are super helpful and are making me more confident. I have tryouts for my 7th-grade team on the 11th of August and I am super nervous! Koko has helped me soooo much!
Thank you so much Koko!!! Yesterday I found out that I made my schools volleyball team and I would’ve never made without you! I’m looking forward to watching more of your videos!
@@3mmaxoxo YOU GOT THIS! I'M ROOTING FOR YOU ! I'M not the best player either especially being a freshman all the upper class men are really good but my coach talked me and said that she loves that i play with confidence and walked to workouts very confident!
If you mess up, chances are nobody will notice. Everyone has nerves of their own and is probably more focused on themselves then somebody else! Even if anyone does notice, it’s not the end of the world; they might have just messed up without you realizing that they did! Even if you don’t make the team, you can know what you need to work on and the next time you won’t stress out as much. Hope this helped❤️
Messing up shouldn’t be something u should worry about too much it just shows ur really trying rather than not doing nothing and not making mistakes. U should try out!
Coach KoKo, I just made second cuts today! I am so glad that I made it to round two. 😅 But tomorrow is the final cut, I REALLY want to make the team, I feel like I have a really good chance but a lot of people at tryouts play club volleyball so that gives me an disadvantage. :( But I know I can do it! :)
I'm in the same position alot of the other players play club and been playing for a long time I'm not the best player and probably wouldn't ever be but I work very hard! And have confidence my coach pulled me to the side and gave me a gatorade and said that she really loved how i played with confidence even tho I have not been playing alot! YOU CAN DO IT!!
@@lizette1932 Wow, that is amazing, guess what!!!!! I made the team, I wasn’t easy but i did it!!!! I wish you the best of luck, thank you for your message:)
Thank you so much Koko! Your tryout videos have helped me so much and given me advice about what to do and what to prepare for… thanks to you I tried out and walked in the gym with confidence! Yesterday we got the email and I got in the team! Your advice helped me and I’m the ONLY sixth grader in the team, first practice is tomorrow. I’m so excited to be in a team. If anyone is in the comments section and are confused or have any questions about tryouts or volleyball, you can just ask!
After playing volleyball for less than 6 months now I made it into club volleyball for regional! I’m trying out for highschool in a week I’m a freshman soon :)
I know you don’t know me at all, but you have been my mentor for volleyball and thank you so much for everything. I’ve used your tutorials for everything you can think of in volleyball which helped me so much. Especially when you said in the video if you don’t make the team, it’s okay, just make sure you get back up, that really made me loose a lot of anxiety making me realize that I have so much more to learn and years of practice for future tryouts. I hope for the best :)
My volleyball tryouts are next Wednesday!! I’m super excited but I’m nervous I won’t make the team! I need a lot of help with my servers because I can’t never get it. :) Thank you for your help with all your videos ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Let me say something, you are the best coach!! I am very young but i actually joined a young volleyball team! And i am very grateful for your vids! I especially went early for the first time in volleyball and i got enough time to do my stretches! Thanks so much koko!
@@samlove3770 unfortunately i made the mistake of not having my physical so i couldnt try out but im gonna try out next year, a simple mistake but it gives me more time to practice!
Hey Koko! You probably won’t see this but, I’ve been watching your videos since before my freshman year tryouts and I’m about to be a senior. I just wanted you to know how useful your videos have been for me and to keep going! You’ve helped me with so many skills only through videos! You’re an amazing coach ♥️
Ive haven't had an expirance in volleyball and tryouts are next week and so is the first day of school, I don't quite know if try outs are the same say as the first day of school but even though I don't know how to play I have the confidence and the Inspiration to play. My mom and aunt has played so now I want to too even tho I've never played thank you for making me belive in myself
I'm inspired to play volleyball from watching Haikyuu. I barely know anything about volleyball, and I'm 13. I thought that that might be too late, and that even if I do play, there would be no point trying out bc I almost know nothing. This is keeping me motivated! Thank Koko! But question, you really tried out for volleyball and got in even though you knew nothing? Do coaches really take in people who dont know much about it? How do tryouts even work out.
Both of my brothers played tennis, so I’m planning on playing tennis this year. But I also really like volleyball, despite knowing absolutely nothing about it. I also feel like volleyball would be a little bit too stressful for me. So, I’ll be doing tennis my 7th grade year, and if that doesn’t work out then I might start volleyball. edit: my friend is playing volleyball, so maybe she could help. 😊
@@jada8188 i sadly didn’t. i over all think i did good tho. the team was already made and had 2 games already and i tried out late so i guess i can’t complain
Thank you so much for all your time and effort Coach! This week my school started tryouts an they’re not over yet so I haven’t made the team, but I passed first cuts because of your advice!
I live in Germany and there are not so many people that are interested on volleyball and because of that there aren’t many volleyball programs but I will find a way to play it
I am about to see if I made the team in 2 to 3 hours!!! Btw I am in 6th grade first year of middle school. Also I love coach koko she is the reason I started volleyball and she has helped me along the journey I love you coach koko
I practice at home and I'm obsessed with volleyball my auntie, cousin, mom, and other grandma played volleyball and haikyu!! Made me like volleyball too, I'm 10 I'm still learning tho 😊
I’m trying out soon! Next week basically. I really don’t know what I should work on since I only have a week to prepare. And I really don’t know what the main thing I should work on is.
I have tryouts in an hour I'll update what happens it's a two day tryouts I'm not sure !I'm alittle nervous but I know half of the ppl there! Tryouts are finished i forgot to update for the first day but I made the freshman team and JV TEAM so I'm really happy !! But I know it's going to be a lot of hard work ! 😭😊
I'm not a volleyball player anymore. I switched to softball about a year ago, and as much as I still love vb, I think I made the right decision for me. While playing vb, I constantly felt pressured to be the best, and whenever I wasn't the best, I could feel people's disappointment in me. I didn't have the best team. There were a lot of toxic people, and they made me feel ashamed of myself. After making the switch to softball, I felt so much better. I had a more positive team that cheered anyone on no matter what. I played softball for fun, and it made me happier. Even though I don't play anymore myself, I hope everyone who's trying out makes their team, and I hope it's an encouraging one. I'd also like to thank koko for carrying me through my 3 years of volleyball, I don't think I would've survived without her🙏💙
Thank you for sharing such kind words and giving inspiration. Your mental health matters more than anything else and I’m so glad you made the best decision for you!
Guys I have tryouts today at 8:30am and it’s 7:54am. So I’m almost gonna have to do it so I hope that any of you who are going to do it gets helped by the Holy Spirit. God bless you and don’t forget that if you ask the Holy Spirit and believe it’ll work if it’s gods will. I’m 14 so I know all the teen or kid problems ask god it works. If you don’t believe in god or the Holy Spirit don’t offend the Holy Spirit. You will go to hell if you do and I don’t want to say it but you will. Try being with god for one day and you’ll see how your day goes and ask the Holy Spirit. Amen🙏
tomorrow at tryouts i get to see if i make the 1st cut. (there is more than 100 girls so they’re trying to make the group smaller), so wish me luck! also, thank you koko for teaching me some techniques, i wouldnt be able to hit the ball over the net if i didnt watch your vids. edit: i didnt make the cut but im not that bummed out about it since my area is really competitive. in the mean time, i can practice for next year and play in my neighborhood games.
I’m trying out for volleyball tomorrow!!! I’m a freshman and new to volleyball I’ve been going to their practices this summer so I hope I make the team!!
today i finished day 3 of volleyball tryouts and all I can say is that playing volleyball is really fun (for me at least) and I've made a lot of new friends and have learned a lot
Im on a vb team but i want to try out for a better one…… but they already have a team so i would have to be able to take someones place. The coaches there do say that im one of the best players but im still nervous
Hi! I don't know if you'll see this, but on Friday, this Friday, I actually have my school volleyball game, and I'm really nervous, but also really, really looking forward to it.
Being nervous builds you up and prepares you for even harder things but being excited also helps because you are looking forward to doing your best, I wishing you a great game
I didn’t make my team but I’m going to a coach and going to a club to get better for next year u have helped me so much and u r the reason that I am still trying
My Schools team is mixed (Since its only middle school) and im not sure if i will be the only guy or not since i watched the team last year and it was only girls, so it might be kind of awkward but ill give it a shot! Tysm!!!
My mom is very toxic and thinks if i tryout it would be a waste of time cause I won't make it she said even if i make it on the team they'll bench me cause I'll be the worst one there I'm a freshman and i play with confidence but my mom is slowly draining me and I don't let her beat me down i stand up for myself but it always ends up being my fault ! Should I still tryout? Please i need advice i really love the sport!
i don't know if i should try out for a club because i really love volleyball but im really inexperienced, even though I played in my middle school team once in 7th grade, and im 15 so i don't know if i will even be good enough for the tryouts. i struggle with overhand serves and spiking as well :( I'm just really scared because probably everyone else has played since very young and have been with a club for a lonnnggg time.
Remember everyone has to start somewhere, club is a great way to learn and become experienced.. it took me a long time to even try an overhand serve, and I still haven’t mastered it. Spiking is hard for me too because I’m short but you have your own strengths, don’t forget that. Just work hard, God bless you
My tryouts are next Wednesday and I used to play volleyball in 6th grade but I haven’t played much since and I’m not very good so I’m not sure if I should really try out 😭
Tryout! You never know even if you don't make it! You can work to get their i didn't make it my first year i was a little upset but I keept going and made it the second year !!!
I can't play volleyball ball for my school's team this year because I broke my foot a while ago and and it won't heal, I was so heartbroken I couldn't play, I had a mental break down the other day💔
Hii I just had my volleyball tryouts and I have been watching koko for some time now and she has been very helpful buttttt I still didn’t make the team which is ok I guess. I guess volleyball isn’t for everyone but I just wanted to say thanks for the tips and maybe if I started watching them sooner I would’ve got in
You should, but if you really want to… don’t let me pressure you But just saying, don’t let others or yourself tell you that you aren’t good enough, confidence is key
KoKo! I’ve been playing for 5 year BUT I’ll be honest, I’m not the best at volleyball- today we’re going against a older group that has been playing for way longer then me and I have my first game with them soon- I would love some advice from you or general anyone- btw thank you for teaching me all I know !
Hi Coach Koko, I'm a sophomore who just started playing volleyball during freshman year, I'm trying out for the team but I'm not sure if being an opposite hitter is the best choice for me. I have a pretty consistent receive and I do have the jumping power. Is there a way to read balls that are set towards you? I can't seem to time my jump and the ball when I hit. Can you make a video or a short tutorial on how to do it?
I actually just tried out for volleyball and found out two days ago that I made the junior varsity team. I feel like I’m the only one who feels this way but I’m not as happy as I thought I would be. When I was first interested in volleyball I was so excited.. I even ended up doing a 3 day vb camp. After the first day for some strange reason it just felt like vb wasn’t for me.
Even though I felt that way i just kept pushing and went all the days, I also did the 2 day tryouts and made the team. I even went to the practice, for some reason I don’t think I want to continue.🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
I'm in the same place as you but the reason I don't want to continue is because the players are really good and played club volleyball so I can't compare to them no matter how hard I try I'm still thinking if i should continueor not ! Just wanted to let you know there is no wrong choice ! Sending love
•Lizette• Thank you so much, I really needed that. I’ve been feeling so much pressure from everyone, when I saw that someone had replied, I said to myself “ here goes someone else who’s going to convince me to play even though I’m not sure yet”. I’ve also been and kinda still is in the same place as you…
I don’t want to say I’m the worst so I’ll just say I feel very less experienced then all most every girl on the team, it feels like no matter how hard I practice I won’t be able to catch up with them. I think all you can do is make the decision that feels right. Good luck!
Thank you so much for making this video I really want to try out for my schools volleyball team and this video really prove to me that I really want to tryouts are this coming Monday and Tuesday I'm so excited I've been practicing all day with my net that I have
I’m trying out tomorrow I’m super scared! Last year I got cut first and gave up for a year or so and I’m going to 8th grade tryouts tomorrow because why not. Ahhhhhh!!
So like I have a problem I am Polish and after summer I am going to be in my last year of elementary(8th grade im 13 rn) and the practise starts at like [15-16(3-4 PM)not 100% sure tho] , its a 1 h bus ride and i have no idea at what time my classes will end So like what do I do??
Passing looks so easy but when you actually need to pass a ball it doesn't turn out the way you want it to be!! I've been there but practice can fix that ! Keep working hard !
Coach koko. I was wondering what to do before a scrimmage. I kinda get nervous and idk how to prepare myself for it. I have a scrimmage tomorrow and I'm really anxious.
I’ve played volleyball for around 2 years now. This will be my 3rd year playing this season. I love the sport but I don’t know if I should play again this year. I know that if I don’t play this year I will be behind next year if I decide to play again but I don’t think playing this year is the best choice for me. Any tips?
I start 8th grade next week ive never played volleyball but im trying out for it even though ive never played ive praticed a little bit over summer but i still need more practice do you have any tips
I did everything your videos said and still I didn’t make the cut for my team. It is so sad. I don’t know what I did wrong and how I might get another chance. :(
It's very upsetting been there! I think you should not give up and keep going work very hard and come back coaches look for improvement in players i know some of my friends that didn't make it the first year but stopped right there and didn't work on their skills they just waited for next year! Instead practice work hard and you'll have better chance that's what I did and made the team the next year!
lately ive been feeling like i shouldnt do sports at all, im quite chubby and im scared ill get made fun of. ive been interested in it for 3 years and now that i have practice for the first time soon im feeling like im not enough. just asking if anyone else felt this way when they first started and if your actually enjoying it now your playing :)

@@miajohnson2505 thank you!!! U too
My highschool doesnt really have tryouts but to get on varsity and to get a letter we have to run a mile in under 8 mins.
One of the most important things for volleyball or all sports in general is to just be confident
Exactly
Also good sportsmanship! No one wants a brat who doesn't try on their team.
Man I already went to tryouts we are finding out if we make the team tomorrow. Update: I made the team!!!
Hopefully u can make it in ! :)
Wishing you all the best! 🙌
Edit: CONGRATULATIONS 🎉
Can you tell us if you make it :)
Plz update us if u made it
Good luck! I have conditioning tomorrow and then tryouts for me are on the first week of school!!

Ways to get in the team is to be loud, hustle, support others, and never let the coach see you walk
And be really confident don't get down on urself !!

My mom and aunt has played so now I want to too even tho I've never played thank you for making me belive in myself
I'm inspired to play volleyball from watching Haikyuu. I barely know anything about volleyball, and I'm 13. I thought that that might be too late, and that even if I do play, there would be no point trying out bc I almost know nothing. This is keeping me motivated! Thank Koko! But question, you really tried out for volleyball and got in even though you knew nothing? Do coaches really take in people who dont know much about it? How do tryouts even work out.
Both of my brothers played tennis, so I’m planning on playing tennis this year. But I also really like volleyball, despite knowing absolutely nothing about it. I also feel like volleyball would be a little bit too stressful for me.
So, I’ll be doing tennis my 7th grade year, and if that doesn’t work out then I might start volleyball.
edit: my friend is playing volleyball, so maybe she could help. 😊
i’m trying out for volleyball tomorrow! hope it goes well i’ll let you guys know.
did you make it
@@jada8188 i sadly didn’t. i over all think i did good tho. the team was already made and had 2 games already and i tried out late so i guess i can’t complain
I didn’t make it on the team but it was still fun to tryout
I’m sure that you will make it someday!
Thank you so much for all your time and effort Coach! This week my school started tryouts an they’re not over yet so I haven’t made the team, but I passed first cuts because of your advice!
I live in Germany and there are not so many people that are interested on volleyball and because of that there aren’t many volleyball programs but I will find a way to play it
I am about to see if I made the team in 2 to 3 hours!!! Btw I am in 6th grade first year of middle school. Also I love coach koko she is the reason I started volleyball and she has helped me along the journey I love you coach koko
I am in the exact same grade and boat as you, I got the email about tryouts yesterday and I made it, just do your best
I hope you make it, and please update 😊
Update?
I’m trying out for volley ball this october and you have been such a big help. Thank you for making these videos!!
Coach koko I’m binge watching your videos and I’m so grateful I’m a first time volleyball coach for 9 yo so I’m doing heavy research and I’m excited
I practice at home and I'm obsessed with volleyball my auntie, cousin, mom, and other grandma played volleyball and haikyu!! Made me like volleyball too, I'm 10 I'm still learning tho 😊
I’m trying out soon! Next week basically. I really don’t know what I should work on since I only have a week to prepare. And I really don’t know what the main thing I should work on is.
I have tryouts in an hour I'll update what happens it's a two day tryouts I'm not sure !I'm alittle nervous but I know half of the ppl there! Tryouts are finished i forgot to update for the first day but I made the freshman team and JV TEAM so I'm really happy !! But I know it's going to be a lot of hard work ! 😭😊
I'm not a volleyball player anymore. I switched to softball about a year ago, and as much as I still love vb, I think I made the right decision for me. While playing vb, I constantly felt pressured to be the best, and whenever I wasn't the best, I could feel people's disappointment in me. I didn't have the best team. There were a lot of toxic people, and they made me feel ashamed of myself. After making the switch to softball, I felt so much better. I had a more positive team that cheered anyone on no matter what. I played softball for fun, and it made me happier.
Even though I don't play anymore myself, I hope everyone who's trying out makes their team, and I hope it's an encouraging one.
I'd also like to thank koko for carrying me through my 3 years of volleyball, I don't think I would've survived without her🙏💙
Thank you for sharing such kind words and giving inspiration. Your mental health matters more than anything else and I’m so glad you made the best decision for you!
Well, Imma ask my school gym teacher tmr if I can join the team or how to, since I’m pretty new to it. I hope I can join
Aww!! Super inspiring and motivating!!
Guys I have tryouts today at 8:30am and it’s 7:54am. So I’m almost gonna have to do it so I hope that any of you who are going to do it gets helped by the Holy Spirit. God bless you and don’t forget that if you ask the Holy Spirit and believe it’ll work if it’s gods will. I’m 14 so I know all the teen or kid problems ask god it works. If you don’t believe in god or the Holy Spirit don’t offend the Holy Spirit. You will go to hell if you do and I don’t want to say it but you will. Try being with god for one day and you’ll see how your day goes and ask the Holy Spirit. Amen🙏
tomorrow at tryouts i get to see if i make the 1st cut. (there is more than 100 girls so they’re trying to make the group smaller), so wish me luck! also, thank you koko for teaching me some techniques, i wouldnt be able to hit the ball over the net if i didnt watch your vids.
edit: i didnt make the cut but im not that bummed out about it since my area is really competitive. in the mean time, i can practice for next year and play in my neighborhood games.
I’m trying out for volleyball tomorrow!!! I’m a freshman and new to volleyball I’ve been going to their practices this summer so I hope I make the team!!
today i finished day 3 of volleyball tryouts and all I can say is that playing volleyball is really fun (for me at least) and I've made a lot of new friends and have learned a lot
I have tryout on the 11th of this month or freshman year, and I’ve never played before so I’m nervous
When you're serving what are the qualities you need? Like how fast you need to be or how hard you need to hit.
Coach Koko has another video on serving
your videos are so helpful and understanding i love your channel thank you very very much
Im on a vb team but i want to try out for a better one…… but they already have a team so i would have to be able to take someones place. The coaches there do say that im one of the best players but im still nervous
Hi! I don't know if you'll see this, but on Friday, this Friday, I actually have my school volleyball game, and I'm really nervous, but also really, really looking forward to it.
Being nervous builds you up and prepares you for even harder things but being excited also helps because you are looking forward to doing your best, I wishing you a great game
Good luck!
@@siamconway5666 thank u
@@mccoy._ thank u
I didn’t make my team but I’m going to a coach and going to a club to get better for next year u have helped me so much and u r the reason that I am still trying
My Schools team is mixed (Since its only middle school) and im not sure if i will be the only guy or not since i watched the team last year and it was only girls, so it might be kind of awkward but ill give it a shot! Tysm!!!
My mom is very toxic and thinks if i tryout it would be a waste of time cause I won't make it she said even if i make it on the team they'll bench me cause I'll be the worst one there I'm a freshman and i play with confidence but my mom is slowly draining me and I don't let her beat me down i stand up for myself but it always ends up being my fault ! Should I still tryout? Please i need advice i really love the sport!
Nothing is a waste of time if you enjoy it!! You are so good!!
I have volleyball tryouts on August 31 for my first time and practice at my school is every day
My schools team has upwards of a hundred girls at try outs for like 24-28 spots, so no. I am actually not showing up with no experience.
i don't know if i should try out for a club because i really love volleyball but im really inexperienced, even though I played in my middle school team once in 7th grade, and im 15 so i don't know if i will even be good enough for the tryouts. i struggle with overhand serves and spiking as well :( I'm just really scared because probably everyone else has played since very young and have been with a club for a lonnnggg time.
Remember everyone has to start somewhere, club is a great way to learn and become experienced.. it took me a long time to even try an overhand serve, and I still haven’t mastered it. Spiking is hard for me too because I’m short but you have your own strengths, don’t forget that. Just work hard, God bless you
@@siamconway5666 Thank you !! I decided to at least try so I wouldn't regret not trying :))
My tryouts are next Wednesday and I used to play volleyball in 6th grade but I haven’t played much since and I’m not very good so I’m not sure if I should really try out 😭
Tryout! You never know even if you don't make it! You can work to get their i didn't make it my first year i was a little upset but I keept going and made it the second year !!!
I’m trying out on the 16th, coach koko is really helping!!
I HAVE TRYOUTS TOMORROW AND DUDEEE UGH IM EXCITED BUT WORRIED
I can't play volleyball ball for my school's team this year because I broke my foot a while ago and and it won't heal, I was so heartbroken I couldn't play, I had a mental break down the other day💔
Hii I just had my volleyball tryouts and I have been watching koko for some time now and she has been very helpful buttttt I still didn’t make the team which is ok I guess. I guess volleyball isn’t for everyone but I just wanted to say thanks for the tips and maybe if I started watching them sooner I would’ve got in
Yeah I need that video 'cause I really don't know if I should
You should, but if you really want to… don’t let me pressure you
But just saying, don’t let others or yourself tell you that you aren’t good enough, confidence is key
@@siamconway5666 Thank you, I'll think about it because I do want to try !
If you have any questions, you can just ask
You are so welcome, do your best and even if you don’t get in you’ll have a million other chances to do the sport you enjoy
KoKo! I’ve been playing for 5 year BUT I’ll be honest, I’m not the best at volleyball- today we’re going against a older group that has been playing for way longer then me and I have my first game with them soon- I would love some advice from you or general anyone- btw thank you for teaching me all I know !
i have tryouts on the 16th, i hope i make it!
excited!
You should be!!!!
I'm about to start high school and I have a very big passion for volleyball but I don't know if it will work well because im really uncoordinated
Hi Coach Koko,
I'm a sophomore who just started playing volleyball during freshman year, I'm trying out for the team but I'm not sure if being an opposite hitter is the best choice for me. I have a pretty consistent receive and I do have the jumping power. Is there a way to read balls that are set towards you? I can't seem to time my jump and the ball when I hit. Can you make a video or a short tutorial on how to do it?
I actually just tried out for volleyball and found out two days ago that I made the junior varsity team. I feel like I’m the only one who feels this way but I’m not as happy as I thought I would be. When I was first interested in volleyball I was so excited.. I even ended up doing a 3 day vb camp. After the first day for some strange reason it just felt like vb wasn’t for me.
Even though I felt that way i just kept pushing and went all the days, I also did the 2 day tryouts and made the team. I even went to the practice, for some reason I don’t think I want to continue.🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️
I'm in the same place as you but the reason I don't want to continue is because the players are really good and played club volleyball so I can't compare to them no matter how hard I try I'm still thinking if i should continueor not ! Just wanted to let you know there is no wrong choice ! Sending love
•Lizette• Thank you so much, I really needed that. I’ve been feeling so much pressure from everyone, when I saw that someone had replied, I said to myself “ here goes someone else who’s going to convince me to play even though I’m not sure yet”. I’ve also been and kinda still is in the same place as you…
I don’t want to say I’m the worst so I’ll just say I feel very less experienced then all most every girl on the team, it feels like no matter how hard I practice I won’t be able to catch up with them. I think all you can do is make the decision that feels right. Good luck!
Thank you so much for making this video I really want to try out for my schools volleyball team and this video really prove to me that I really want to tryouts are this coming Monday and Tuesday I'm so excited I've been practicing all day with my net that I have
I’m trying out tomorrow I’m super scared! Last year I got cut first and gave up for a year or so and I’m going to 8th grade tryouts tomorrow because why not. Ahhhhhh!!
I try out for my school's team Monday- Wednesday and I'm really nervous
I'll update you how it goes
So like I have a problem
I am Polish and after summer I am going to be in my last year of elementary(8th grade im 13 rn) and the practise starts at like [15-16(3-4 PM)not 100% sure tho] , its a 1 h bus ride and i have no idea at what time my classes will end
So like what do I do??
Hey Coach! 😄 I'm trying out in about 6 months for volleyball! Can you post a video on exercises and training? Btw, post notifs are ON! 🤗
Thank you so much!! Love ur vids this is gonna help me for my tryouts theyre next week and im rlly nervous
I’m trying out for volleyball this week I’ll update if I make it.
I’m not trying out for any team anytime soon bc I still can’t land a decent pass but i am still rlly interested in it
Just practice, practice, PRACTICE! And put in the work, you’ll make it
Passing looks so easy but when you actually need to pass a ball it doesn't turn out the way you want it to be!! I've been there but practice can fix that ! Keep working hard !
i have tryouts soon i was on the freshman team and now im trying out for JV😭honestly scared
Coach koko. I was wondering what to do before a scrimmage. I kinda get nervous and idk how to prepare myself for it. I have a scrimmage tomorrow and I'm really anxious.
I’ve played volleyball for around 2 years now. This will be my 3rd year playing this season. I love the sport but I don’t know if I should play again this year. I know that if I don’t play this year I will be behind next year if I decide to play again but I don’t think playing this year is the best choice for me. Any tips?
I start 8th grade next week ive never played volleyball but im trying out for it even though ive never played ive praticed a little bit over summer but i still need more practice do you have any tips
I did everything your videos said and still I didn’t make the cut for my team. It is so sad. I don’t know what I did wrong and how I might get another chance. :(
It's very upsetting been there! I think you should not give up and keep going work very hard and come back coaches look for improvement in players i know some of my friends that didn't make it the first year but stopped right there and didn't work on their skills they just waited for next year! Instead practice work hard and you'll have better chance that's what I did and made the team the next year!
@@lizette1932 I will try hopefully I will make the team next year
POST THIS ALREADY PLEASEEEE I HAVE TRYOUTS TOMORROW
good luck !!
goodluck to you!

Try your best, you’ll make it
