Heyyyy! Sorry if the music is a little loud :( But I do hope that you really enjoy this video and it gives you some great tips. Also PEEP the new background! Keep Playing, Coach KoKo

1. Be early 2. Stretch 3. Clean Up 4. Hydrate 5. Hustle/ Light Jog 6. Talk to Coach

Let’s just appreciate how she gives us coaching and tips for free-

Tips: PUT YOUR HAIR UP. CALL OUT “mine” EVEN THO U DONT GET THE BALL DONT LACK OR BE LAZY. BRING DEODORANT. SWEAT IS A BIG THING IN VOLLEYBALL TRY TO MAKE FRIENDS WITH SOME OD THE TEAMMATES, SO THEY CAN HELP U OUT THERE IS A LOT OF WORKOUT, SO DONT THINK ITS JUST PLAYING VOLLEYBALL

I MADE THE TEAM !!!! i have been watching you for while and practicing volleyball and getting ready for tryouts!

*I don’t go “I don’t need water” I generally forget....*

And do not accidentally summon a sleep paralysis demon while saying someone’s name wrong.

I remember our first game. I didn’t stretch and at the end of the day my legs were burning up lol

My tryouts are November 4th! i prommise its the 4th... i think Also my Nekoma hoodie came in the mail yesterday. It's so softttt :3 Edit: I made the JV team

i'm socially awkward so i would be soooooo nervous to do try outs😭

I have tryouts tomorrow and I just want to thank Coach Koko for teaching me all that I know. Idk where I would be if I never stumbled upon her channel. THANK YOU SO MUCH KOKO!!! Update: I MADE THE TEAM YAYAYAYAYAYAY

1) be early 2) talk to coach for a quick minute 3) stretch 4)clean up 5) hydrate 6) chat with some people if they are done with all of these things!

Just tried out for this club I have never played for, and i made their 16 1’s team 🥰

tryouts won't happen for me because of the virus. Kinda upset, but I have a year to practice.

I’m trying to teach my 2 year old brother to play volleyball! Right now I’m trying to teach him how to pass he’s doing pretty good😸 I think he’s better than me already-

i have volleyball tryouts the next two days and i’m extremely nervous bc i’m new to volleyball, it seems like i’m the only beginner :(

could you do a video where you explain at each level (like 6th, 7th, 8th grade and etc.. )the skills you should acquire and drills you should be able to do. like how many balls can u pass to ur self and you should be able to overhand serve. i’m going into 8th grade and i’m curious what skills i should get better at. thanks!

I’m in 9th grade and I’m trying out for my highschool team tomorrow and I have no experience but I’ve been practicing and watching these videos I’ll update how I did!!!! I’m so nervous 😭 UPDATE: Day 1/5 done it went really well today! I would say like 15 other new people joined too (we split into a group with new people and returning players) so it wasn’t as intimidating Beforehand I’ve been practicing on my own and worked on controlling the ball and it REALLY payed off I’ll write everything that happened because I know people (like me) would want to know what happened and to know what to expect Day 2/5 done: we focused on hitting today which is one of my weaker areas so I’m not sure how I’m feeling about it 😬 Sorry skipped a few days I was exhausted I’m in the car going to my last tryouts day and I’m finding out if I made it or not :) UPDATE 3/5/21 I MADE IT ON!!!! I’m so proud of myself the coach told me that I really seemed to enjoy playing and put in a lot of effort I think half of the freshman were cut and a few upperclassmen. I know I wasn’t perfect at everything for example hitting and serving was pretty rough receives were good so as long as you put in the effort, go for the ball, communicate, you’ll have a good shot! INCOMING ESSAY: First I arrived and tryouts were for jv and varsity so people up to senior year were there and at the beginning I thought that was so scary (but not at all you’ll see!) I already knew a girl (she’s new too) there so we walked to the gym together and all the girls were on the benches with their bags and getting settled so we both sit down and then I think it was the older girls but they started setting up the nets and then later on everyone was standing up and grouped together and in my case all the freshman were talking together and then the coach yelled for us to do 3 laps around the gym and so we did (leader started cutting corners lolll) it wasn’t excruciatingly tiring I wouldn’t say I’m extremely out of shape and after that I think we got water and then we had to spread out and do stretches (water break again) and we huddled in a group and the coach explained the teams and how they’re trying to get 14 max on each (jv and varsity) and then she said to partner up with someone you didn’t know and for the experienced players to partner up with the new players (very scary at first) and a really really really really nice girl came up to me and said “do you need a partner?” I swear she was the nicest girl I’ve ever met and first (sorry I have to go to sleep it’s 12:35 am and I have to get up early 😭 I’ll continue later I could honestly make my own video about this I’m thinking about it) FINAL UPDATE 3/28: I’ve been playing on the team for a few weeks now (it’s been going well :)) but I wanted to come back and add a few things ADVICE: -I think going for the ball was a REALLY important thing because looking back now I think a lot of the girls who were cut were the ones who usually just stood there -don’t worry about serving, my team still has a few girls who can’t serve over the net (I couldn’t either but I learned a technique: hit the ball towards the bottom of your hand I know the coaches will tell you to hit with your whole palm and when I tried that I kept slapping the ball and after I started hitting towards the bottom I started getting it over the net! But I don’t want to mess anyone up so do whatever’s best for you 😅 -get the ball pretty high up (tbh I didn’t learn this until after tryouts) but when you receive and set make sure it’s a little high so others can get it -have fun! Don’t be that one person that doesn’t look like they want to be there because 1) you wanna have fun in the first place 2) it come off as good and a team player -also if this makes anyone less nervous I had tryouts for a week and I ended up getting excited to go everyday after the beginning! It was nice to play with new people but I also don’t know what other people’s situations are like so this was my personal experience -JUST TO CLARIFY: my state isn’t big on volleyball so I was very lucky since most public middle schools didn’t offer it but my high school is also very competitive when it comes to sports -Also the advice I’m writing now is after tryouts and Ive been on the team so it might come off as really intimidating like “uh oh I have to be super good” but no, literally none of us were perfect!! and I want to make that really clear! But those were areas that I think were really important now that I look back so I hope this helps!!

I tried out for volleyball today and didn't make the team. I wish I could've saw this earlier

Me, not knowing anything about volleyball or having any tryouts at my school: interesting*takes notes*

I've watched haikyuu (i'm obsessed) and i've been practicing playing volleyball this summer and i'm actaully prettyy good. Does any one who's played on a team have any tips for me?

bruh u know that a KZfaq is 100% wholesome when they have zero dislikes and when they give out useful stuff like this for free

I'm trying out for volleyball soon when Corona is over and this really helps, thank you! I love your videos and you have taught me so much about volleyball i don't know how i can repay you

Hey KoKo I’m trying out in a week or two and I’m really nervous, I started just this summer and you have helped me improve so much! My latest accomplishment is making a good serve! I just wanted you to know that you really made a difference on a little girls life! 🤗

my volleyball tryouts are TOMORROW. i’m so nervous but excited!! i’ll keep you guys updated if i make the team!! 💕

we've been doing tryouts for 2 days going into the third day and i'm so happy i watched your videos i'm doing super well😌

binging this channel before high school volleyball tryouts 😭 pray that i'll make the team 🙏🙏

My inspiration is Haikyuu, I knew I was good at vollyball but I never really did anything about it. After watching I really liked it and started playing more. I’ve been practicing for about 6-7 months and when I get back to school I want to try out for the team. Thanks for the tips!!

3:19 this is the most important thing at my school gym. The gym isn’t air conditioned and people who are practicing don’t realize that they need water, we had a new girl come into practice with us for 3-4 hours (I forget how long) and she ended up passing out because she thought she was fine. She ok now and she’s coming back tmr!

This is my first year where there doing tryouts so people can be cut, and it’s tomorrow so I may or may not be binging your videos

Trying out once fall comes, gonna train and prepare

Thank you so much! Today is my second day of tryouts! I will update! 2020 i got a different team 2021 I got JV!!

Hinata be like: *writing down notes* yah yah

I’m so glad you mentioned hustling after water breaks! Although I haven’t actually been involved in volleyball, I can definitely say that’s important. I did cheerleading for about 3 years and when it was water break, my teammates would go on their phones, socialize, walk away from the team and all that. Then when it came time to practice more, the others would walk back to the team without even getting water (because they were too busy on their phones and whatnot) that made our team fall behind and affected our competition score dramatically. This is also why I’m gonna do volleyball instead of cheerleading this year.

i’ve been watching your videos for a couple months now and you taught me so much, so i wanted to thank you for that ☺️ when i first found your account i had never played volleyball before and now i am a setter in a team and your tips helped me so much to get there ❤️

Like a week ago I decided that I wanted to try out for volleyball. I’ve never watched anything to do with volleyball then all of a sudden this comes in my recommended like woah. Really good video by the way I appreciate it :)

I absolutely LOVE your account, it helps me so so much! I am so interested in volleyball. I am currently learning on how to play so I can try out next year in high school, and your videos help me out so much. I've already learned the positions, overhand serve, how to score points, and how to pass all because of you! Thank you so much! I will definitely be watching more of your videos until I make the team!

KOKO! This is perfect! My tryouts start tommrow i love youuuu update: it was rlly good i’m proud to say i did my best however they only really took blockers and really yall girls. I was the only one that could hit a serve over the net...i didnt make the team :(

oh my god THANK YOU SO MUCH for posting this video and putting links to stuff in the description box!!! i am trying out soon for my school team and i am new to volleyball and i had no idea what i was doing!!! your videos have definitely helped my be better at volleyball and just over all a better person!! dont know how i could thank you enough!!!

As my band teacher says: If you're early, you're on time, if you're on-time, you're late and if you're late, you're fired :)

My tryouts are in the end of August, right before school and I'm so scared lol- but I started watching your videos and I feel a bit better! Thank you!

I'm trying volleyball for the first time as a sophomore, because I've always kind of wanted to and never did years prior. I had my first day of tryouts today, and I go to a competitive private school so I was surrounded by girls who have been playing for years - it was really tough to be honest, but everybody was so supportive and I'm so excited to do my best on it :) Volleyball is really such a mental sport, so thank you for giving advice pertaining to taking care of your health !!

this is really useful! Thank you so much coach koko! I’m trying out for volleyball tomorrow so this is awesome to know! 😁

TYSM I’ve been wanting to do volleyball for so long! I love volleyball a lot TY!!

Hey Koko! I am trying really hard to be a setter, i am 12 and 5'6, so I know my coaches will want to put me as a middle blocker, and i kind of want to do both. What should I do? ( also anybody can give me sugesstions i am already setting 400 times a day. )

This is so helpful cause on September 8th itsssssss tryouts

i just started getting into volleyball a month ago im not very good but you're channel is really helping me improve . Thank you!!!!

Thank you soooo much for these tips!!!

So I’m interested in volleyball but I don’t know much about it, just the gist of it. I’m starting 9th grade this year and we got an email from my school that there is volleyball that I could register for. I really wanna get more active so I’m gonna register. I really wanna be at least a little prepared so I’m gonna binge lots of your videos! Thank you for all the videos!

I don’t even know if I have a chance, I’ve never been on a team and don’t even know the positions but I’ve always loved playing it on my own :(

Thank you so much for the tips! I really hope I do well for my tryouts!

hey KoKo, i’m newer to volleyball and have never been on a team but i’m gonna be trying out for my school team. I’ve been watching a lot of your videos recently and their giving me a bit of hope. Tryout are the 14th and 15th of July so wish me luck!

4:56 now this is probs just my kageyama side, but i HATEEEEEEEEEEEE IT when my teammates are taking their good old time to get a volleyball. HAKSBSKBD NO. I. WANT. TO. PLAY. Yeah sure, we have 4 hours which is plenty of time, but those hours r gonna fly by like sonic. STOP COMPLAINING TO ME THAT WE HAVE ALL THIS TIME, I NEED TO LEARN MORE SO THAT I CAN GO TO A GOOD HIGHSCHOOL!!!! oml, sorry i’m venting lol

This is so helpful my tryouts are next week

I have volleyball tryouts in 3 weeks so this was very helpful! Thank you!!

I love this so much

My tryouts are August 3rd and I'm so nervous but I'm going to try my hardest

shag the ball sounds really goddamn weird as a scottish person

Am I the only one that’s been scrolling through the comments to see first hand experiences from people my age who commented? I’m so nervous, tomorrow I figure out if I got on any of the high school teams

“When players are just ( awkward finger walking) it takes up time!” Idk why i loved that sm

My first actual lesson is in one hour and I feel like I’m going to die-

This vid showed up when I was think about joinin a team. That’s some Voodoo shi xd

Thank you so much for the tips on what not do it really help me a lot because I have volleyball tryout in a couple of days and I want to make the team but scared I’m not .

I never searched for volleyball videos on KZfaq or online and it’s baffling that my KZfaq recommendations knew that I was going to try out for the volleyball team next year 😳 anyways thanks for the video!! It was extremely helpful!! ❤️

Hii! I love all your vids and you are so awesome at volleyball! I really wanna be a libero and I'm doing a co-ed volleyball at the YMCA. Registration starts September 7th. Next year in 7th grade I will be trying out for middle school volleyball. (:

Hinata probably secretly watched this

Just so you know, I’m a middle schooler that is going to try out for volleyball and I need confidence to speak up and stuff like that, etc. and I need confidence building videos

ayup college athlete here this video is really amazing but if u suck at volleyball and u are trying out for a team over hype EVERYTHING cheer for everyone i would not have made the team if i didn’t do that and when i say i sucked i really did. it’s embarrassing at first especially if u are introverted (like me) but i swear it make the experience a lot more fun

I've been trying to practice my jump serves and I just can't seem to get them right... could you make a video on how to do a jump serve thank you!!💖💖

33 seconds ago 💕

I’m starting volleyball for the first time after 3 years but this time for my school district. This came just in time on my recommendation. Thx my love

I’m trying out for my school volleyball team after the virus and this is so helpful! Thank you.
