  Hey, You should definitely at least go out for v-ball! Its so fun!! Well, as for knowing the sport: thats something you'll learn as you play more. What you need to focus more on is conditioning and getting in shape. Learning it is the easy part :) Buy a volleyball and work on setting it against a wall. Put your hands in a diamond shape above your forehead and use your finger pads and extend your arms towards the ceiling. Your footwork should be left-right, SET. Square your toes to where you want to set the ball. Jumping is very important so jumprope like 500 a night and slowly add more. Do lounges down your hallway or something. Make sure you have a good posture when you bump: knees slightly bent, right foot in front of the other, straight platform, shrug your shoulders and STAY LOW!! All the basics. Most important of all is in tryouts or whatever you do, show the coach that no matter how little you know, you are willing to work HARD and learn. Give it your all and try to be the fastest and quickest on the court. If all your friends are goofing off, show the coach how serious you are. A coach will usually choose a mediocre hard-worker then a naturally talented lazy player. Hope I helped, <3 Mary P.S: Rent a volleyball drill movie.
