Sport Specific Training, Volleyball

Every play in the game of volleyball is critical. Whether it’s serving, passing, setting, hitting, or blocking, players need to utilize these skills on every play to gain the edge on their opponents. Maximize your volleyball performance by participating in the Acceleration Indiana Programs. These programs were developed to help athletes improve their quickness, jumping ability, power, speed, agility, strength, and confidence to improve their game. Volleyball athletes who participate in the Athletic Republic Programs train with the most advanced technology available today.

Programs are designed to improve all aspects in the game of volleyball, including:

* Speed and quickness
* Strength and vertical jumping ability
* Body coordination and balance for better control over ball position
* Quick, explosive multi-directional movements
* Stronger serves and kills
* Improved anaerobic stamina to maintain quickness and vertical in the last game of the match
* Shoulder/rotator cuff strength and stability

Acceleration Indiana’s Volleyball Programs:

We’ll start by pre testing to baseline your quickness, agility, foot speed, balance, jump height, and flexibility. Each training session begins with an active dynamic warm-up procedure and an upper body shoulder/rotator cuff strength and stability program using our patented PowerCords. We’ll then focus on exercises that strengthen the core and lower extremity muscles, particularly the fast twitch muscle fibers that provide quicker movement, agility, and explosive power for increased vertical. Interval training with increasing intensity will build big improvements in anaerobic power and stamina.

We are pleased to announce a new jump protocol to further improve the development of vertical jump capability that is so important in volleyball. This new protocol is being released after two years of research involving 250 athletes and is included in both our 18 session programs for pre high school athletes (age specific) and our 21 session programs for all high school and collegiate athletes. This enhanced training program includes additional jump protocol sessions utilizing our unique plyo press equipment to develop explosive leg and hip power for an increased vertical.
