Best of luck at your game @Téa Bishop Who else is watching or attending volleyball matchups this weekend?

Over half our Volleyball players increased their Standing Vertical Jump by 1-3" in March. about 1/3 Added another 1" to their Approach Jump. Several Maintained (mostly our Setters/L/DS) who aren't leading attacks like the OH/MB/RS. The only thing we did to try to improve these numbers was do more Vertec touches every session Wk1: 2 Each Wk2: 3 Each Wk3: 4 Each Wk4: 5 Each We still did other plyometrics but gradually reduced that volume each week as we increased volume on the Vertec. We did push more strength as well on our Front Squats and Trap Bar Deadlifts. Contrast the lifts with more plyometrics for additional jump Volume. Pin Squats with/out bands or chains could be where we move into next while doing additional contrast work each set. Improving their actual skill to be better jumpers is what they can do. Couple of notes: Many were in and out of tournaments, sometimes missing sessions, sick or on spring break vacation so we will also take the results with a grain of salt because mid summer when nobody travels can look different in my opinion. There is also "testing jitters" that overcome with more reps because many of these girls will jump 2-4" higher across all positions in games with adrenaline and competition. Attached is some homework to consider if you are also wanting to add another 1-3" in the next 1-2 months.
