Jump into Some Volleyball Tips

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.

One thing that I have noticed is that any indoor player that practices by playing beach volleyball is a lot better than those that don't. Why is this you may ask? Well, when you play 2 on 2 in the sand you have to be faster and develop more skills and these will transfer over to indoor.

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 are able to move in sand with speed you will be that much faster when you move on a court for obvious reasons. Another great way to improve your game is by jumping out of 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.

Developing all of your skills will turn you into a very well rounded player and open up more opportunities to you. You won't always be playing the position you play now.

Plyometrics are a great way to improve your jumping ability in volleyball. You simply need to practice jumping just as you would any other part of your game to get better at it. Training with the right training programs to jump higher will add inches to your vertical.
