In this special episode of the Get The Pancake Podcast, I share my top seven tips for how to make the volleyball team for young athletes. I am often asked how to run volleyball tryouts or how I pick players to be on my team, and these seven tips for players should help answer some of those questions!

Making your school or club volleyball team is about more than just skill. There are a lot of ways to show coaches that you would be a good volleyball player on their team!

Although Get The Pancake is a channel geared towards helping coaches, I occasionally like to put out content that helps players, parents, etc. By doing this, I hope we can all grow the game together!
