In-Season Volleyball Training

This program is meant for any in season volleyball player (Indoor or beach). There are 3 lifts to help fill the buckets of each athlete to get the most out of their season. A strength day, Speed/CNS day and a game day lift. These lifts can be done on any day depending on game schedule, the strength lift should be done with 2 days between a game or after a game, the speed/CNS lift can be done day before or day of a game if wanted and the game day lift is specifically designed to be done on the day of the game to help you feel your best and perform your best.

In-season training is crucial because you lose speed, power and strength throughout a season. So, training helps to prevent or lessen those loses during a season and give you an edge on your competition. However, training should be different in-season then during the off-season. So, this program is carefully crafted to see the right amount of training to be your best, but not bring too much fatigue on top of practices and games.

This is the exact program that my girls high school team is performing and my college freshman is currently running during her first year!

Data and Result Driven Programming
This program was designed with the data and results from the volleyball players that I work with daily. It was designed to continue to work on speed, strength, and power to prevent loss over the season but minimize the fatigue to keep you feeling your best for games (as that's the main goal in-season!)

Jump Higher, Hit Harder
This program is meant for volleyball players. So, the focus is on getting athletes to be more explosive, jump higher, hit the ball harder, and keep your knees and shoulders feeling as healthy as possible.
