Do it! Are you a complete novice like I was 6 years ago?

1) Get a mentor.
2) Find a place to work outside of the high school venue in order to see more plays just like any other sport - a local VB club or USAV.
3) Watch matches in person, on TV (Watch ESPN & BTN), & on the web (YouTube).

Enjoy it.

I was brand new three years ago -- it's a completely different challenge from being new in basketball or baseball (or I'd imagine, football or soccer, for example).

The challenge, as always, is the fun part -- and the frustrating part.
