Vertical...?

Question

when i jump in volleyball to hit, i jump pretty high. But my coach is like, "Melanie, you're hitting great, but i think you can get higher than that."

do you know any workouts or anything that will help me improve my vertical jump?

Answer 1

listen to what flowergirl said. i also have used air alert and it is amazing. Its a 15 week program but i am only on my 5th week and i have already gained 4 inches in my vertical jump.

Answer 2

What I do is a workout program called "Air Alert" and there might be a website for it but I'm not sure. But they give you different workouts you can use. You do it for 3 days a week and about 15-20 minutes a day for the first three weeks. So far, I have increased my vertical jump by 10 inches using Air Alert! You should look into it.

For now, after I come home from volleyball practice, I jump rope 100 times and increase by 10 jumps every week.  It also helps to stand on a step in your house or somewhere and put stand so that about 3/4 of your heel is off the step. Do 15 calf raises on each leg tucking the leg your not using behind the other one.  Make sure you are a hard worker.  Slacking Never pays off.

I hope these help you!

Good Luck!

Answer 3

pick a sopt kinda high on the wall and just jump up and down toching the spot everytime. the more you jump the higher you will get at it

Answer 4

You need to make your calves stronger. what i do is this drill where i jump as fast as i can for 30 seconds and then i sprint to the other side of the room and jump kind of high but not as high as i can for 30 seconds then i sprint to the other side of the room and jump as high as i can for 30 seconds and then i do it again. i do that 5 times a day and it's improved my vertical a ton!!
