How To Play Somewhere Only We Know?

Why does my volleyball coach automatically think I don't know how to play volleyball?

  • I am a freshman and my coach knows practically all of the decent incoming freshman volleyball players except me. I have been under the radar lately because I want a fresh start when try outs come. My new high school coach held a camp to seek out talent before the try out. He put us in two groups, and all of the girls who could play volleyball at all was in one group while basically the sucky girls went to another. He claimed that the girls in the good group knew their rotation. He doesn't know me, and automatically thinks that I don't know my rotation. I have been playing club ball for 3 years, and I know it like the back of my hand. So I was in a group, with girls who could hardly play, and I look over to the other side of the gym and I saw the other girls playing real volleyball. And I just hate how he assumes that I'm not capable of what they are doing..I play like that ALL OF THE TIME! So now all week I'm stuck with these horrible girls and I can't show them up because they can hardly pass the ball and the setter doesn't know how to set. So I just blend in because no one can get a real rally going. It's so frustrating..I've been told my head coach doesn't like being told what to do..so I can't tell him I know how to play, and I know my rotation. What do I do? How do I show this idiot coach I am a good player when they aren't giving me the environment to show my stuff?

  • Answer:

    Try asking the coach POLITELY what you need to work on. If the coach says something, tell the coach you will work on that and ask the coach to watch you to see if you are getting better at that particular skill.

I know what you mean, I've had a similar experience and yeah it's frustrating, you can't really show him your skills because of the girls but why don't you try showing good sportsmanship and maybe when he's around give some of the other girls pointers. It couldn't hurt right?

Well, if you don't play your best where you are put right now, then how will he know that you are any good at it? I really think he's being screwed up about this. I don't understand how or why he would divide good and bad players according to him. How would anyone benefit from that? Maybe you can go to the guidance counselor or ask your parents what you can do about this.

im sorry, that sucks :( i mean to be dividing the girls and saying one group is the good group and one group is the "bad" group can be really hurtful to the girls who are put in the "bad" group. i think you should ask him what he thinks you can work on to prove to him you can deserve to be on the other group. but ask politely, dont accuse him, just ask like a normal question and be interested when you say it. but on the bright side, if he compares you against the other girls, you'll look amazing! :D but also take the chance and be a team player though you deserve to be on the other team. help out the other girls, and prove that you deserve to be on the team no matter the circumstances. maybe its a test to see how you work with other? either way i hope it works out for you! :) good luck!
