Volleyball Training-How to Jump Higher
There are many different areas to focus on with volleyball training and we will take each one step by step. Today we will teach you how to jump higher for volleyball. Jump training is done with plyometric exercises. Plyometrics are workouts that are designed to develop more fast twitch muscles in your legs so that you can explode with more power. Power is a combination of speed and strength so if plyometrics works on the speed you will need to do weight training for the strength portion of the equation. 
Keep in mind that jumping high is all about explosion so you shouldn’t to jumping programs that focus on high reps because that will only train your muscle endurance and explosive power. Following a well designed jump program will produce great results in a relatively short amount of time. The most popular program for beach volleyball and indoor volleyball players is the Jump Manual.
Plyometric drills will include many jumping exercises that will help increase vertical jump such as jumping on plyometric boxes and doing rim touches. Jump lunges and squats are another great way to start jumping higher. Your vertical leap in sand will suffer a lot if you don’t learn proper jumping form. You need to learn that the approach is very different in sand and requires you to stomp a lot harder with your last 2 steps before take-off. You will notice that if you don’t stomp hard, you will sink instead of going up. This why beach volleyball jump training is a very important part of the game. You can expect to hit the tape everytime until you learn proper form and develop good sand legs.
Learning how to jump higher alone isn’t going to make you a great volleyball player. You have to learn how to play volleyball by knowing the basic beach volleyball rules and doing volleyball drills to help your passing, setting and hitting.
If you play on an indoor volleyball court you will want to do most of your training on the hard court. But if you play beach volleyball you will want to train on a sand volleyball court so that you can get accustomed to moving in sand. The beach volleyball court dimensions are different than those for indoor. The official AVP volleyball court dimension is 8m x 16m. The is one meter less on the width and 2 meters less on the length than an indoor court.
