Volleyball - Friday May 22

Warm up:  up to you.

Fitness:    I would prefer if you weren't doing these drills on a concrete surface - please try to find something "softer".  Don't continue if your knees begin to hurt.

Agility:  5 dot drills (remember: dots in the shape of a "5" on a dice (die)).

  • feet apart - there and back (facing the same direction) - 5 reps x 3 sets
  • right foot only - hour glass shape - 5 reps x 3 sets
  • left foot only - hour glass shape - 5 reps x 3 sets
  • feet together - hour glass shape - 5 reps x 3 sets
  • feet apart - there and back w/ 180 degree turn at each end - 5 reps x 3 sets
Plyometrics - step offs - from a height of approximately 1 ft/30 cm to 1.5 ft/45cm.
  • step off and land loaded - 7 reps x 3 sets
  • step off and two foot vertical jump - 7 reps x 3 sets
  • step off and two foot jump over a hurdle - 7 reps x 3 sets
