Gettin in shape for volley ball?

Question

volley ball tryouts are coming up. i want to be in shape right. i run and stuff and jump stairs but im afraid that might not be enoungh. so can any one tell me what drills and stuff i can do that will help my game. but i am not in a postion where i can practice in a gym... so that means no net. i just need conditioning drills that will target the muscles i will use when playing volley ball. llike what are the best ones and stuff so i know im not just wasting my time.

Answer 1

Here are some really good ones that i use to strengthen my core, abs, and legs for ski racing and lacrosse

-wall sits (really strengthen the thighs so they are good for jumping. )

-up downs (where you start by standing, then jump, then fall into push-up position kind of kick your knees and bring them into your chest, then jump up and stand again)...

-jumping over something (a stack of books). what you have to do is jump over and back over the thing on both feet 25 times. then side to side over the thing 25 times. Then front and back 25 times on one foot for each foot. This totally improves how high you jump.

-In your yard you could stagger about 8 cones, 6 feet apart. like this kind of haha... the stars are the cones.

    and then start at the first cone or whatever you use. Sprint to the next cone, and totally breakdown (completely stop and go into athletic position, with both your knees bent) then sprint to the next cone...and so on. after you finish the row of cones, skip really strong and high back to the first cone and do them again.

I hope I helped you! good luck!!!! I've always wanted to play volleyball for my highschool team.
