Answer 1

While I think it's great that you want to train in the off season - I think that your desire to train by yourself, and not with a team could be problematic.

Let's face it - volleyball is a team sport. There is only so much you can do on your own. Things you can do on your own (strength conditioning, speed training) - are good. But you can't effectively practice spiking by yourself, you need a setter. Also, it's more effective to practice your spiking when you have people blocking you. You're not always going to get to spike on an open net.

You can practice setting by yourself, but it's not nearly as effective as somebody passing the ball to you, and then you setting it.

You  can't effectively work on your digs, or serve recieves without somebody spiking at you, or serving to you.

What about working on rotation, spike coverage, who covers what area of the floor?

I think it's admirable that you want to improve your skills, but I think you'd be much better off if you find a competetive club program in your area, or a Junior Olympics team - and play with them. You'll still want to improve your personal skills, strength and condidtioning. However, you will be a much improved player if you play consistantly on a competitive team.

You can also look for open gyms, volleyball gyms, that you can goto and get into "pick up" games where you get put on a team, and learn to play together.

There are some links below - good luck to you.
