Jumping into Volleyball

By Bradley Dibbs

If you are reading this, you or someone you know plays volleyball and wants to be better at it. First you must know the rules of the game and then work on you technical skills.

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.

While it's good for indoor players to practice on the sand the same does not hold true for beach volleyball players to practice on a hard court. The whole point is to increase your speed by training in sand.

Being able to move quickly in sand means that you will be super fast on the hard court because of it's stability. Jumping in the sand is also a way to improve your game.

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 plyometrics is another great way to increase you jump height whether in sand or on a hard court. Remember that you don't have to be born being able to jump high. You can always work on you hops and train your body to jump higher that it currently can with the proper jump training program. - 17269
