Jumping into Volleyball

By Bradley Dibbs

If you want to play volleyball better than what you are currently capable of then continue reading. You need to understand the rules and then work on jumping higher.

You know who the best indoor players are? They are the ones that have practiced in sand. Get out to the beach and play 2 on 2 volleyball. You will quickly notice that it takes a lot more energy to get around. You also will learn to develop all skills involved in volleyball because you can't rely on someone else being there.

It would be a horrible idea for a beach volleyball player to practice on a hard court though. The reason being that you are getting better by moving in the sand and learning to be faster.

If you can move fast in sand you will do great on a hard court because it doesn't shift around like sand. Also jumping is a thousand times harder in sand.

When you try to jump in sand you will realize that it takes a lot of energy to do and once you get use to it you will be jumping very high on the court. You will get use to jumping with all your force and then on a hard court it will feel super easy.

You won't be using the same form for jumping in sand as you would on a hard surface. You can't do your broad jump, instead you will be doing a shorter approach and jumping more straight up.

If you can learn to be a well rounded player you can play any position on the court that you desire. You may not always be playing the position you are at right now.

Doing jumping exercises known as plyometrics is a great way to increase your maximum jump height. You need to jump higher than other players to be better at other players in every aspect of the game. Follow a well designed jumping program and you will get great results. - 17273
