Answer 8

One of the most important things that usually gets left out in working out is stretching. This should be done before and after each work out (if you run before you lift it should take place after the running (when the muscles are warm)). Flexibility in muscles extremely increases the strength, power, range of motion, and prevents many injuries. You should be stretching everyday even when you are not going to the gym to work out.

In sports terms, the more flexible you are, the larger your muscles range of motion, therefor the more muscles you use during a skill, leading to more height/power/speed/control/everything.

For a specific work out including weights you should contact a trainer of some sorts. I'm sure you already know for the most part what you should work on. Leg's are huge. Calves, quads, and hamstrings. In volleyball, triceps and shoulders are very important muscles. One muscle that people usually don't think plays a big part in volleyball is the Abs. And all of these people are greatly mistaken. Your abs help you will control in every aspect of the game, serving, spiking you snap forward. Passing, stabilizes your upper body, even when your lower body isn't. Blocking, stabilizes upper body to hold and press even on hard hits.

If you would like a somewhat personalized work out, I can help you with that to the best of my ability. It won't be perfect due to the fact of me not being there, but I will give you the knowledge that i have. I am a certified Strength and Conditioning Coach.

Answer 9

I do lots of wind sprints, and to help you get higher find a tree branch and jump and touch it about 20 times take a little break do it again. Passing to wall is good to.

Answer 10

Answer 11

do a lot of running

try to get somebody to throw the ball far and high and you try to track the ball and catch it

then do some suicides

another running drill would be when you lay stomach down and somebody throws the volleyball someplace far that has a wall and then you have to get the ball before it hits the wall

get some practice games in

stand in place and bump the ball to yourself in one spot
