Boost Court Performance with Volleyball-Specific Strength Training
Volleyball is a sport where strength and power win matches. To execute quick movements, rapid direction changes, and explosive jumping, an athlete must have a strong lower body. For power hitting, attack blocking and effective digging, a strong upper body is a must. Core strength connects the two, enabling players to transfer power efficiently between legs and arms.
As a coach, you can optimize your team’s performance by developing a customized strength and agility training program. When implemented, you’ll find that, over time, your athletes will jump higher, hit harder, block stronger and move quicker.
They’ll also suffer fewer injuries. As athletes take on more these days—playing multiple sports, participating on school teams, and traveling with elite club programs—it’s vitally important to keep players healthy. A carefully designed performance training program can help players strengthen sport-specific muscles and joints, so they recover faster from workouts and stay in the game… with the added benefit of fewer injuries.
In the Sports Performance Certification, you’ll get access to more than four hours of detailed instruction along with volleyball-specific exercises from Matt Mosebar, a top NSCA Certified Personal Trainer who has worked with some of today’s best up-and-coming volleyball athletes.

Great information and a nice feather in a coaches cap. Being able to recognize and prevent muscular imbalances in young athletes is so important to prevent injuries for their future. Not to mention the increased performance of making well rounded athletes. This is a very thorough course which keeps one foot in the technical realm for the advanced coach and one foot in the layman’s realm for the beginner coach trying to better their team or club.

Strengthens my weakest part of my coaching. I hear pieces parts of strength and conditioning and not sure if information is correct. The course explains the methods in such away I can digest the information and I go over topics many times to fully understand the reasoning. Due to construction in our school the weight room was not available for our volleyball program. Now the gym is my workout and the players really enjoy the circuit training in the gym!

Basic concepts covered with lots of examples on dynamic warm-up and activation drills. Would be better if there are more information on specific gym programs to target volleyball specific outcomes like increase vertical jump, increase spiking power etc.

GREAT FRAMEWORK FOR DEVELOPING A PROGRAM! Lots of great foundational information for developing a program. As one review suggested, a next step might be specific exercises to develop specific skills needed in volleyball. Matt communicates well and provides reasoning to support every suggestion he offers.

Great course. I was a bit apprehensive at first but I must say it was worth the money and I did learn quite a bit. Thanks.
Jenna Scott –
This course was full of great information! I’m excited to apply this to my team.
Dan Cat Thanh –
Great course – I will add these skills to my team’s strength plan.
Darren Young –
Great information that every coach should have!
Robert Martinez –
This is a great course and informative. The only issue I had was the duration of time between units and not having a certificate at the end of the course after course wraps up.

Lots of information that tied together well in the end. Easy to listen to and good to have demonstrations to go back to.

Instructive, informative, well-illustrated. A very good course of an experienced athletic trainer for volleyball. Very kind and calm method to explain the why, what and how of the whole concept and each single exercise. Well demonstrated by young and likable athletes. Good slides. Helpful just for me as a German not so familiar with the English names of training exercises would it be to add a list of the various exercises with a link to a short demonstration video in order to recapitulate quickly e.g. what a “depth drop into a plyometric split squat” is.
