Volleyball height problem? |
Hey ok so i have been playing volleyball for the past 4 years. i just got a new coach this year who is really big on height. I am sophomore (going on to junior year) and i am tired of being on JV. My Vertical jumps need big time help. What can i do to improve on it?? I cant go to any gyms over the summer to workout so it has to be something that i do at home or in my neighborhood. thanks! calf raised help a lot (go one your tippy toes like...a million times. lunges and squats help too. Source(s): im 5 1...i have to make up for my height lol You should try going into the pool. Get about chest deep in the water. Crouch down and jump. Over and over again. The water will act as your resistance and will cushion your landing. Your knees and ankles will not get the pounding of working on your jump on dry land. its not really about ur height its how high u jump if ur coach sees that u jump high then she wont make it a big deal vb player for 6 years their are many things you can do to improve your vertical jump, there is squats, calf raises, lunges. but, what i found that works best for me are 2 things: either going to the beach or somewhere sandy and working out, or just jumping. the resistance of the sand makes for a great leg workout, and constant jumping strengthens your legs to do exactly that, jump higher. It also helps if you practice your form for hitting and blocking while you do this. 2 for the price of one. ;-) i'm 5'9" with a 40" vertical, you do the math. lol |
