Help for the volleyball spike?!?



okay i have the perfect aproch and everything im just having a lot of trouble with my arm swing and motion....also my timing is getting really off. i also have one more question....what position should i play? i went to this vball camp in platteville wi and they said that i should be a setter....but i love being a outside hitter. they said i really need to work on blocking and spiking arm motion?! any advice...oh and to a high school tryout should i wear the volleyball short shorts or could i just wear like shorter basketball shorts?!

if youre right handed youre going to want to "guide" with your left hand straight up in the air (as if youre raising it to answer a question). with your right arm, pull it back until your hand is near your ear, and your elbow remains up. simply reach and snap. refer to this pic http://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/3/3b... i played OH and had a very good coach.

you should wear volleyball shorts for the tryout.
i have always had trouble with my hand motion too.
you just have to practice practice practice.
& there really isn't an exact right way for you to do it.
there is the basic guideline, which is what they teach you, but each person might use a different way to be able to produce their best results.

i almost went to that camp.
i went to the madison uw one though.

i also loved being an outside hitter.
i was best at right side hitting though.
but they put me as a middle hitter.
so, if they want to put you as a setter, tell them you'd rather be a hitter, & hopefully it will all work out.
Wear shorter basketball shorts.
You need a high jump and a full arm swing for spikes. Comes from your waist.
Best spike I saw was Hawiian style, uses a palm action fingers over top, curves the ball as it gets past first row blockers, and can be controlled.
Play where you best fit, nothing wrong with a setter until you can do a better spike/block.
timming the hardest part in hitting
you should play w/e the coaches tell you to tho and girls allways wear volleyball shorts well at least at my school
