5 Tips to Stand Out at Volleyball Tryouts
Campers learn skills you need to elevate your game and prepare for your next volleyball tryout.
Trying out for a new volleyball team can be exciting but can also make you nervous. It's okay for volleyball players to feel a little uneasy before they walk out onto the court. Follow the 5 tips below from DI Head Volleyball Coach and Camp Director at Our Nike Volleyball Camp in Tennessee, Sean Burdette, and excel at your next volleyball tryout!
Tip#1
Wear athletic clothes that makes you stand out. A bright t-shirt or headband will make it easier for coaches to spot you on the court. Drawing attention to your skills is the best way to get noticed at a tryout.
Tip#2
Be coachable and listen to directions. Coaches want players they know can follow their directions and execute a game plan. Paying attention when the coach is explaining a drill is vital to a successful volleyball tryout!
Tip #3
Be vocal throughout the day. Calling for the ball, encouraging teammates, and maintaining your voice throughout the tryout can go along way in getting positive recognition by the coaches.
Tip#4
Be positive on and off the court! Coach Burdette at our volleyball camp in Tennessee says, "Carry a positive "can-do" attitude with your coaches and teammates."
Tip #5
Greet your coaches and talk with them throughout the tryout. Don't forget to thank them after you are done.
