You may be asking yourself, what are the requirements needed to join the volleyball team?
Other than having good grades, being able to play volleyball, or even being good at the sport, Junior Varsity coach Anthony Martin and the team are mostly searching for dedication to the sport. They need girls who are determined to better themselves and make it through the hard times. Additionally, they also need a team that makes mistakes and uses them as an asset to improve and progress in their season.
The tryouts are not an easy process to go through. They are full of tests that demonstrate your special skills in volleyball so the coaches can see where your skills best fit. But do not come into tryouts with fear because it’s a way to learn and improve your skills. “One piece of advice I’d give the girls that are planning on trying out is to show that they are able to learn from their mistakes and to be able to recover quickly when they do mess up. To put emotions aside and don’t let them get the best of you,” said Coach Martin.
The overall experience most of the volleyball players take away from being part of the team is being able to be part of a family and develop friendships. The most important thing is that you are able to have fun, laugh, and know that you have a support system.
