Strength training for volleyball is vital for success. We want to focus on the fundamentals of volleyball, as well as building the athlete’s conditioning level. With volleyball we want to focus on increasing:
• Vertical Jump
• Explosive Strength
• Agility
• Mobility
• Coordination
• Balance
• General Physical Preparedness
• Special Physical Preparedness
• Muscular Strength
• And Overall Health of the Athlete
We do different variations of jumping, strength, torso, conditioning, and focus on specific volleyball skills. We will utilize boxes, as well as performing cone drills that will imitate specific movements during a game time situation. We will perform high intensive workouts that are similar to a game. With Volleyball, it is important to perform for a long period of time while moving at a fast pace. The athlete will get to utilize rest for a couple of seconds, but the athlete is in motion for the duration of the game. Many injuries that deal with volleyball players are due to lack of strength around certain joints (i.e. knee, ankle, and shoulder). We want to protect those joints through a series of pre-rehabilitation exercises. While the athlete is strength training, it is important to also have the athlete work on basic skills of the sport.
