Answer 5

check and see if your school has a conditioning program or camp

i know my school is really big on volleyball and we have summer conditioning for ALL the team members that we do from the beginning of june all the way up to the first day of tryouts. we have a camp in there too. so if you DO have that, definitely get involved.

if you dont, you need to be working out on your own.

we do conditioning every monday, wednesday, and friday morning 7-9 AM. we do plyometrics, just running (just to stay in shape!), lifting, abs, med ball, and a bunch of different stretches, and that kind of stuff.

first we do warm up, like walking stretches. they're hard to explain but some of them are like butt-kicks, high knee walk, high knee skips, lunges, a bunch of that. then we do abs with med balls, and we always do something different every week along with that. then we do a little running and stuff like shuffles, jumps, kareoka, skips, just active cardio kinda stuff. then we go to the weight room and we rotate upper body one day, lower body the next etc. upper body, we do bench press, tricep pulls, hang cleans, bent over rows, bicep curls, military press and more but i just cant think of the rest. lower body, we do squats, lunges wit h weights, box exercises (jumping onto boxes...idk what they're called), leg press, uhhm, and more but i forget.

if you have any questions or want more info, let me know. i'll be startin conditioning again on june 12 so after that i'll remember ALL the stuff.

plus, we work out at the same time as the football guys, so it's definitely motivation to work harder and stuff cuz they're watching us and yea, we dont wanna look weak! haha.

but whatever you do, your workout can vary with what position you play. if you're a hitter, you need to pay more attention to certain stuff than you would if you were a libero or setter. so yea, good luck!

Answer 6

It also helps if you do a lot of ab workouts. I play volleyball (club and school) and you use your abs a lot if you're a hitter. Arm and leg workouts are good too, but you want to add a little bit of cardio in there. My aim is StarOfMyShow2662.. let me know if you need anymore info!

Answer 7

Go to volleyball camp.

Answer 8

You can swim a lot and run just excercise and dont pig out during the summer. im in volleyball and the whole volleyball team gets 2gether and swims at the pool.

Answer 9

CLUB VOLLEYBALL

and sand volleyball helps a lot!

Answer 10

Volleyball requires many different physical demands on your body.  In order to be at your top performance on the court, there are several things your should do off the court.

Nutrition is important.  Many people wonder what they should be eating the day prior or day of an important tournament.  A better question is what should we be eating everyday.  So, the big question is what to eat?  Dr. Bill Misner is a nutritionist and competitive sports athlete.  He discusses nutrition for endurance and shares ten secrets for better performance.

Off-court training is also very important.  As with any change in physical training, you should consult a physician before beginning.  Off-court training will not only increase your performance ability, it will also protect you from injury.  What you do off the court is just as important as what you do on the court.  While each person is different, your off-court training should include a balanced mix of cardio / aerobic and anaerobic exercises and weight training

Here's an example of my work-out regimen: My workouts are all in three phases:  warm-up; target work-out; cool down stretching.  While each target work-out may change, the warm-up and cool down are always the same.  I have an intense work-out designed to do as many exercise as possible in as little amount of time.  I work out five day's a week, regardless of practices or games.

Warm-up

I do not stretch.  This is important.  Recent studies have shown that prolonged stretching before working out is actually counterproductive.

--------------------------------------...

Benefits of stretching "...include relaxation of tight, tense muscles or the "cooling down" of muscles.. actually [putting] the muscles to sleep ..."  

you stretch before exercises or games, I strongly suggest you read this article.  What you should do is run or even walk every day you work out for at least 20 minutes, regardless of your workout.  Not hard running, just a nice leisurely job to get you body warmed up and ready to perform. At the end of your job, your joints will be warm and muscles will be already be receiving oxygen and ready to go.  After my jog, and before my target work-out, I do active stretches that pertain to that target work-out.  Active stretches are those that put the joint and muscles through a full range of motion.  These should never be done before warming up first.

Cooling Down

After my workouts is when I stretch.  I stretch my entire body, regardless of the workout routine.  I do this to maintain optimum flexibility which helps prevent injury.  I always start with my supportive leg muscles first:  calves; anterior tibilous; hamstrings; buttocks; and finally quads.  From there, I do my lower back, abs, arms (biceps, triceps, forearms), then shoulders, lats, upper back, and finally chest.  I always end my cool down with another stretching of my legs muscles.

Target Your Workouts for Success

Too often, players feel that they should concentrate on one area of fitness - jump training, muscle building, food, endurance.  In the end, players will strengthen one area nd neglect the rest.

Your workouts should include total body fitness.  To do this, I use a four day work out routine.  I will work out for two days and then break for one day and then pick it up on day three of my work-out schedule.  This allows for bumps in the schedule.  If I am unable to work out for more than one day, I just pick it up where I left off.  However, the important thing is to get into the gym at least three times in any one week.

Answer 11

lift weights, it will incresase your verticle, and play pepper (volleyball game)w/ a friend. thats what i'm doing this summer for get ready

Answer 12

just practice in the street alot, thats what i did when i had only been playing for one month, and i made a competitive team, all you have to have is a volleyball, just hit it against your rooof and really work on moving ur feet. if someone can help you, then have them through it really hard at you and work on passing it, and also, if you wanna remember to have your arm all the way up when you hit a ball, practice doing your approach on a door way, and try to get ur hand to the top of the door, so that way you get in the habit of not dropping ur arm down. it really works.
