If you are reading this, you or someone you know plays volleyball and wants to be better at it. First you must know the rules of the game and then work on you technical skills.

You know who the best indoor players are? They are the ones that have practiced in sand. Get out to the beach and play 2 on 2 volleyball. You will quickly notice that it takes a lot more energy to get around. You also will learn to develop all skills involved in volleyball because you can’t rely on someone else being there.

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.

Jumping out of sand will be hard at first but your legs will get use to it and you will start jumping higher. Then when you go back to indoor you will be jumping a few inches higher with the greatest of ease because you will be use to jumping out of sand.

The form you use when jumping out of sand if much different than indoor jumping. You can’t do your broad jump so you will be jumping up instead forward.

If you can learn to be a well rounded player you can play any position on the court that you desire. You may not always be playing the position you are at right 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.
