Which shoe is better?

KSwiss Glaciator SCD or Nike Zoom Courtlite 3

I'm a sophomore in high school and am wondering about the usta. I'm nowhere near good enough to play in college but would like to continue playing after high school and even join during the summer. What are the tournaments like? How should I start off if I start in the summer? How do I pick the tournaments?

On a completely different note, I was playing a match the other day and my opponent served a let on her 2nd serve. She served again and it landed out. I thought it was a double fault and walked to the other side thinking I won the point. She claimed that the let rule allowed her for her 1st serve and 2nd. I always thought if it was a let on the 2nd serve you only and a 2nd serve and if it's a let on the 1st serve then you get 1st and 2nd. We called our coach and he said she's allowed both serves. Is he right? Thanks!

Hey! So I'm going through the question in this section and everyone seems to be freaking out about tryouts. You guys all need to know that you just need to be confident and have a good attitude and you'll make the team in no time! I made a little survey for you guys to chill and remember why you love volleyball so much.

1. When are your tryouts?

2. If you already had tryouts, what team did you make?

3. How excited/nervous are you (either for tryouts or the season to start)?

4. What do you look forward to when you play volleyball?

5. What's your favorite position and why?

6. Do you play any other sports?

Here are my answers:

1. I had my tryouts in May.

2. They haven't told me what team I made but I'm pretty sure it's JV. We don't figure that out until practice starts.

3. I'm so excited for practice to start! I'm nervous too because I've slacked this whole summer and haven't worked out at all....

4. I love being able to dig balls and and being able to serve aces. I love that moment when you know you're going to make a good play.

5. My favorite position is middle back because after I dig a ball I'm like "wow! I can't believe I just did that!"

6. I also play tennis. It's an awesome sport!

Good luck at tryouts!

I recently got a letter inviting me to participate in the "NoKaOi Volleyball Showcase" in Honolulu, Hawaii. I was wondering if anyone has ever participated in it and could give all the info they can on it. I already looked at the website and didn't get much from it and I don't think I can go to the meeting scheduled. Some things I want to know is how do they invite people and if there would be fundraisers. If you've done other showcases please share your experience because it could be similar to what I would like to know. Thanks in advanced!

My coach says that I have good form but that I need to to improve my consistency on getting the ball to the setter. I'm not swinging my arms and am working on using my hips more. My problem is my footwork. I cross my legs a lot when I try to get to a ball and for some reason my ankles hurt when I shuffle (I have braces). I also have trouble reading hitters whenever their hand curves a different way then where their shoulders are facing. Any tips on fixing these problems? I don't want the advice of passing to myself or to a wall.
