I play club ball on the 13 Mizuno team. I am having trouble with my approach, I end up underneath the ball. I am 5'9 and my mom thinks that I am not starting out far enough outside to get a good approach and stay in front of the ball.....any ideas on how far out I should be or is it something that I just have to find for myself??

Hi I play also, Im on a 15s team and I'm 5'10. With our height we take bigger steps and have a farther reach, this is probably your problem. If your hitting a 4 try standing 1-2 feet outside the court (at the 10 foot line) and take your approach at a sharp angle. Hope this helped!

OH, another thing, it could be your timing that is throwing u off. Don't start your approach until after the ball has left the setter's hands and is coming to its peak in the air! :]
