Why is volleyball speed, explosion, and agility training important? 

Serve speeds > 38 mph have the greatest chance of success 

*Volleyball ACE Power Tips, 11/28/12, Vol 23, #24

• Volleyball is a physically demanding sport, requiring strength, power, agility, and speed

• Skills and drills alone are simply not effective at bringing about increases in athlete performance.

• Strength is paramount to volleyball performance, and many examples exist as to why the stronger athlete is always the better athlete.  It has been shown that spike velocity in volleyball correlates to strength improvements in the dominant shoulder.  Furthermore it is now known that strength training actually has protective effects against “jumper’s knee”.  In volleyball, jumper’s knee is the most common overuse injury (Dervisevic & Hadzic, 2012). Not only will strength training bring about performance gains, it will actually reduce injury rates and overuse injuries through the enhancement of motor-control and joint stability.

• It is no surprise that the highest jumper makes for the best volleyball athlete.  It has been shown that in one game, players execute on average 85 jumps per hour.   Of these jumps, blocking accounts for approximately 27% of the jumps.

• In a study comparing peak power of volleyball athletes, those athletes that exhibited reduced lower extremity muscle mass have a clear linear relationship to peak power. This means that the weaker, less muscular athletes generate less power during jumping, which translates to lower overall jump heights.

• Medicine ball training can be particularly beneficial for volleyball players as they allow the athletes to generate maximal forces without decelerating the weight at any point, mimicking the power needed during a match, minimizing soreness, and decreasing the injury potential associated with deceleration.
• The National Strength and Conditioning Association reports that the average vertical jump (no approach) for a typical, 17-year-old girl is 13-14 inches. The average for a collegiate volleyball player? 17-21 inches. And, it’s generally accepted that elite jumpers (i.e., Division 1 middle blockers and outside hitters) can touch a minimum of 10’0” – 10’2” on their attack jumps (block jumps are typically 25-27% smaller than attack jumps).

Our training gives athletes a competitive edge. We use the Just Jump electronic system to measure vertical jumps; you improve what you measure. Contact us to start training!
