A: Okay, so you have to start with the basics, like passing the ball. When u pass, make a fist with one hand, and wrap the other around it, and make a platform with your forearm, the forearm pass or 'bumb'. Make sure that you do not lunge towards the ball, just keep your feet shoulder width apart, and bend down with ur knees, and as you contact the ball, stand up, but do not swing your arms, as the ball will hit the ceiling. Next part is overhead passing, which is simple. Get the ball right over your head, and use both hands to push it to a teammate. Make sure ur hands are soft, and cushion the ball, but not too much, or you will be called a carry, which is illegal. Spiking it just as easy, once you get the footwork down. If you are right handed, put your right foot first, and step left, right left,(right, left right if your lefty) and swing over the net. Make sure you understand the transitioning, which is the most complicated. Once you understand that, you will make the team np, just like i did in 8th grade. If a coach corrects you, then take his/her suggestion no matter what. Rules: Three contacts per team, you cannot carry the ball in anyway, if the ball hits the ceiling and comes down on your side of the court then you can play it, but if it hits the ceiling and hits the other side, its out. If it hits the line, its in. Back row players cannot jump infront of the ten foot line. Do not stop playing until the ref blows her wistle. What to wear, a sleeveless tee-shirt, so your arms are a little more looser, running shoes (or court shoes, if you want to waste money) and shorts that arent over your knees, because u want to be able to move really fast. do this, and you should have no problem Good luck
