Iamhere asked in SportsVolleyball · 6 years ago

My first friendly volleyball game.?

We are playing as part of our office event. I have never played volleyball. I am a runner and generally very fit but I'm nervous about playing volleyball since I might end up making a fool of myself.

This is beach volleyball.

I don't know what to wear. I was thinking tights and a running top.

How to serve and how to manage myself on the field? What if I can't hit the ball across the net?

    We all started somewhere. You have the advantage of great fitness. Why not get one of the other members of the team explain the rules and show you the basic moves? Your team will rotate along the various positions, so you'll come up to serve, to man the net, and to play all the other positions.

    Shorts or knee-length bicycle tights plus a running top or sports bra sound about right for beach volleyball. Tie your hair firmly back or wear a bandanna. Here again, get advice.

    You don't have to actually shine. It's just a fun match. People lose their footing and fall, miss their shots, and get intercepted a lot. If you can learn to "spike" the ball to the other side of the net, you'll be admired.
