Okay some freshmen girl volleyball players CAN rely on pure physical raw talent when it comes to being considered for the Varsity team but there are some things you can do if you are a little less physically endowed to get the volleyball coach to notice you.
Just check out these tips and apply them to your next volleyball practice.
Volleyball Tip #1.
Come Early, Leave Late to Practice.
For girls volleyball practice I use to come to my High School gym one half hour before practice and lay in the middle of the gym and just visualize that the court was mine. Seriously I convinced myself that anything that happened on that court, any ball that came on my side I was personally going to be responsible for. Nothing was going to fall in defense and no one was going to dig my hits.
I think something worked because we made it to the California State Championships for the first time my senior year. I chose to to come early and/or stay late to exercise my mental skills but I also did it to practice serving and individual wall drills for setting and passing as well.
Volleyball Tip #2.
Become the most effective server on your girl's volleyball team.
Read the article the "Girl's Volleyball: Top 5 Places to Serve After a Team Timeout" to learn how to become Your volleyball team's most effective server.
Volleyball Tip #3.
Okay its not a movie about girl's volleyball but still GO rent the DVD movie "Rudy" starring Sean Astin...Watch it ...then adopt his "never quit" attitude. Period.Yeah, it's a football movie - but it's the best one you will ever see AND you'd be surprised how many conditioning drills in football are similar to the ones we do in girls volleyball. Just watch the movie.
Volleyball Tip #4.
Go After EVERY Ball in Defense.
For your girls volleyball practice adopt the "Rudy" attitude in defense and make any ball in defense YOUR ball. Decide that nothing falls around you or in your immediate area. Take pride in TRYING to get every ball up so your team has another chance to play it and make a point or side out.
Volleyball Tip #5.
Become the Backrow Quarterback for your girl's volleyball team.
Talk to your teammates before,during and after the game and give them valuable information about what you see happening. Direct traffic by calling out plays you see developing. This isn't difficult because many times a backrow player - if she's concentrating can see a play developing just like the front row player or sooner. So if you see the Right Front player sliding over to run the "X " Don't keep this information to yourself! Call it out "Watch the X" Watch number 15 coming around" Say it Loud enough so everyone can hear it. If you see the fake "X" developing which is what alot of setters call after running the X "Call it out" out loud..."watch number 15 coming around for the fake X". Let the blockers here you, let your defense hear you...just commentate. Secrets?
There are no secrets on the court. Let your teammates know what to expect. If a player goes through the front row rotation and all the points she made were by wiping off the block or hitting cross court, the next time she rotates up to the Left Front YOU go up and out loud and tell YOUR front row blockers in a LOUD voice "Hey that #15 the last time hit everything Xcourt. Be ready for her Xcourt attack." Besides this being a very good way of "getting inside" your opponent's head it let's your coach know that you are a smart volleyball player that is making yourself aware of what is going on in the game and is doing what it takes to help your team win. Question: How Tall do you have to be a good Backrow Quarterback? Answer: Size just doesn't matter!!!!

There are many girls volleyball players that don't know how to use the
Pepper Warm up Drill as a way to improve their volleyball game.
Below are 5 ways elite volleyball players use "Pepper" as a way to improve their volleyball
defensive skill.
Volleyball Tip #1. To Improve Ball Control volleyball skills. Volleyball Tip #2. To Improve Serve Receive volleyball technique.
I think that Pepper is the number one way for indoor volleyball players to improve their volleyball control skills...if they know how to do it. You have to be aware of why you are Peppering in the first place. If not, then it just becomes a way to raise your body temperature...some.
a. When YOU set--whoever sets should be working on proper volleyball setting skill, form and technique.
The Goal- the volleyball should go right to your partner without them taking more than one step in any direction to chase your ball.
b. When Your partner passes back--concentration should be on using excellent form for serve
receive and free ball passing--especially now since this is an easy ball.
The Goal
- first to pass the volleyball so she/he can hit the ball right back without taking more than
one step in any direction. Secondly, bump setting practice for accuracy so each and every ball
goes right back to above the hitters extended hitting arm.
c. When You hit. You hit a controlled 1/2 to 3/4 speed down ball right to your partner.
In this instance you have a controlled situation in which to improve your skill and practice the
finer points of your armswing. Take advantage of it. Practice your armswing technique.
Concentrate -on "reaching" raising your elbow and hitting high while controlling the ball speed.
Don't hit low by your ear just because there's no net!
If you hit low in Pepper it means you will generally tend to hit low in hitting warm ups and then again in your volleyball game.
Trust me--it all transfers. What you do in warmup transfers to what you will do in a game.
Your body is recording every movement you make it do-so pledge to yourself to do the
volleyball skill and the movements the right way.
The Goal-
To hit the spot you are aiming for-which in Pepper is right to your partner-so that she doesn't
have to move more than one step UNLESS you choose to mix up your attack and include a tip
to your partner. Highly recommended after you have improved your ball control.
d. Your partner digs--focus on being down in your defensive position
before your partner hits the ball meaning by the time they make contact.
Because Pepper partners are relatively close together you will automatically be developing
quick reflexes.
Here is where you practice combining quick reflexes with BALL CONTROL.
React quickly...then control the ball. React quickly then c-o-n-t-r-o-l the ball.
The Goal- Learning to absorb a hard hit ball at close range and delivering that ball
(softly, gently people) in control to your target without making them move more than one step.
Fight to perform the volleyball skill correctly and to maintain control of the ball.
3. To Increase Your Range in your Defensive Volleyball Skill.
Advanced players can challenge their partners (you both need to agree to make the drill work)
by tipping the ball further and further out of reach--the more of these balls you get in
pepper--the more you will get in the game. It all transfers.
Or by hitting a 1/2 to 3/4 speed down ball a foot or 2 to the right or left of the defender will
increase your range of harder hit defensive balls that you dig up around you.
4. To Narrow Your Focus and Concentration
Many times Pepper warm ups take place in a crowded environment.
Either with 25 teammates on either side of you, or near that net divider that separates the
courts in a volleyball tournament, fans that walk up and down the aisles, team benches, believe
it or not this is a great practice opportunity- to narrow your focus and increase volleyball
concentration skills so that it doesn't matter what happens around you ...the world can come
to an end but your focus is only on the volleyball.
5. To Increase Your Reactions and Reduce Fear of the Ball
As your ball control gets better then you and your Pepper partner should agree to challenge
each other to make each other better players. I had fantastic pepper partners in college
