Volleyball Training!?

Question

I wanted to be more in shape for volleyball this year. What kind of Excercises could i do? Like to tone my leg muscles, arms, thighs? Thanks.

Answer 1

To help, if you have a local college around, you could go to their volleyball camp. I am going to one this summer, and they work on positions and working out, etc. Also, you could go the the gym and ask a personal trainer there.

Answer 2

You should visit a sports physical therapist especially if you are a female athlete.  Some of the suggestions, although well intended, can cause harm if done incorrectly.  Volleyball specific strength training will benefit you best.

Answer 3

for your legs you should do wall sits and frog jumps and lunges and for your arms you should do lots of push ups. might i add that you should do hundreds of sit ups

Answer 4

-squats

-duck walks

-bear crawls

-wall jumps. (Stand in front of a wall with your hands up, like covering the net, and jump as high as you can, 20 times, Do 3 or 4 sets)

-Get a ball and with your hand make a triangle shape, and just toss the ball against the wall,  above your head (Like setting the ball on the wall )

Your arms are very important in volleyball. ;)

Answer 5

-stand with legs shoulder width apart. squat as low as you can and come back up. do ten.

-next do 8-10 squats on your left leg. repeat on right leg.

-squat down using both legs and jump as high as you can - land and bend knees back into squat immediately. (this helps tone muscles and your jumping in volleyball will get sooo much better !!) repeat with left leg only, then switch to right leg

No weights are required, and you can get such a good work out this way. you don't need to do thousands, just be determined and consistant with it - be disciplined! good luck! (i play volleyball too. i loooove it.)

Answer 6

Ask your future coach. Going to any kind of camp would be great though. Especially for your position. Also ask your coach what you should do in the weight room. Key thing: ASK YOUR COACH.  That way your coach will know you're committed even over the summer.

Answer 7

practice your vertical jump. like ump on a chair and ajump down, like 10 times
