Plyometric Volleyball Drills
This sample program consists of two volleyball plyometrics sessions per week. This is perfectly adequate to convert strength in sport-specific power and reduces the risk of over-training that can occur with more sessions each week. Plyometrics are usually performed during the mid to late pre-season phase of training. The closed season and early pre-season can be used to develop functional and maximal strength, which is then converted to explosive power. Because these volleyball plyometrics exercises require maximal effort and a high quality of movement, don’t perform any other training immediately before – such as endurance runs, resistance training or speed training. Of course it goes without saying that a thorough warm-up should be completed first.
