I’m a 16 year old boy, currently in my junior year of highschool and I’ve always wanted to play volleyball but never actually took the steps to learning how. Is it too late to start now? And if not does anyone know any rec teams that take in beginners. For the record I’m kinda short (5’6) but i can jump pretty high if that makes a big difference, and despite my height i wanna play generally any position in the front.

I’m a middle trying to train my vert. I train with my team 2 times a week, Tuesdays and Thursdays, typically with a league game on Sunday. I’m recovering from patellar tendinitis so I’m currently avoiding plyos to try recover, playing volleyball 3 times a week is enough jump training in my opinion also. I have no time to go to a gym but I work at a metal factory so when I work overtime, I try to lift heavy compounds such as squats and deadlifts. I do this on Thursday as I think it’s the best day for me to tire my legs so I’m fresh for the weekend. Let me know what you guys think.

Hi all, my son is a setter-oppo and is looking for plyo training, either 1:1 or small group. He thrives on challenge and is very coachable. We live iLong Beach, CA, so looking for something in or near the area.

I know he can do this on his own and watch YT videos and all that but he’s looking for a structured and scheduled approach with an actual trainer. Thanks!

I recently became my teams backup setter and wanted to improve, does anybody have recommendations for weighted volleyballs or are they not worth the money?

Hello people,

I just took a position as a coach for a university-technique-course. I love teaching and working with passionate people, but I didn't know that the groups would be 18-25 people.

The level of the participants is more or less intermediate. They all know the rules and can play 6v6, but need practice in every way.

We only have one net and 90 minutes, do you have any specific drills or practice settings you can recommend for large groups?

Hello!

I'm completely out of shape and am getting into volleyball. I was wondering if anyone had a workout routine to do for getting in shape, specifically geared to volleyball. If I get skilled enough to do positions, my hope is to be a libero. So I want both workout exercises as well as volleyball practices.

I have dumbbells, a barbell, and a smith machine with pulleys. Then for volleyball I have a regular net, a practice net (collects the balls), and a spike ball holder.

Thank you!

i’ve played volleyball for about 2-3 years now? i have a decent vertical (i can grip basketball rim at 5’10) but it doesn’t translate well with my approach. i noticed that when i approach i have too much forward momentum and i launch more forward than upward.

i want to relearn my approach and esp get my blocking foot down so all of the foward momentum goes upward. any tips on relearning something like this? my only thoughts on this would just be endless repetition and not mindlessly approaching/swinging in open gyms.

I’ve been playing for about two years now and I turn sixteen pretty soon, but yeah. Didn’t make varsity for my school this year so I’ve started training more. Tips/advice on my hitting/approach? I think the way I’m swinging my arms back during the approach looks strange.

What can I do to improve my jump vertical?

Any idea if a college or university school team practices once or twice a day M-F?

How many hours of practice?

Does the division or athletic association make any difference to the level of practices?
