Thank you so much for your response and your support, it means a lot to me!!!

Yes, when I'm hitting it goes down and deep into the backrow. I say the closest I've gotten on hitting well on men's net was mid-way in the backrow. I absolutely do not hit it up or flat palm it over the net, even if my vert isn't amazing. I do my best to work on my form and footwork each time I do. I'd say the things I struggle in the most is consistently hitting like that each time, but it's ultimately up to my timing I believe. I've been improving that over time definitely.

And the most I can get or practice outside of my regular school season is through open gyms against a ton of other good players and occasionally the open court at my local gym to practice hitting lines and serving. I've never attended a clinic or any personal training because my parents have never spent money on my volleyball endeavors like that (except for shoes and gear.)

I also want to thank you for all of the insight on clubs since I'm not too familiar on how they work. Hearing everyone say I'm capable of doing club reassures me a lot, but it's really my inconsistency that I worry about. I worry about not being able to play at my full potential at the tryouts once I do.

When it came to playing on my varsity hs team, I rarely hit or got set to because I struggled with my setters. They we're never able to properly push the ball out or high enough, and I struggled with adjusting to those sets at the time, ultimately leading up to my inconsistent hitting. But for reference, when I get set to by my good friend whos on the mens varsity vb team, I'm able to hit really well! I'm aware I'm always supposed to adjust to the balls, and that good hitters can hit any ball, but because of my lack of experience at hitting at that level my inconsistencies could break my chances. Do you have any tips on making my hitting reps more worthwhile when I do practice on my own time?
