I'm 16, 5'7 160 lbs. sophmore. I am a wrestler and powerlifter currently. Wrestling is a winter sport so when that is over, I'm thinking about joining the Volleyball team for the spring. If I do so, I was wondering what things I could be doing now in order to prepare myself? I was thinking sprints and box jumps...other than that I have no clue. Any suggestions/comments are welcome

They allow males to play volleyball in teh schools? Vball is an all girl sport in Oklahoma.

Plyometrics will be great for you-box jumps, depth jumps, bounds, medicine ball work.

Hang cleans, push jerks, push presses.

Bahahahahaha.

Also, I second what he said. It's always a good idea to train specific to your sport.

oh yeah? yeah? yeah? well, I can deadlift *2* monster truck tires at once?! what? thats right...

I'm at an all guys school, and yes we have an indoor volleyball team. I like doing sports that kids can make fun of (like wrestling - gay) because if I like the sport, I'm at a point where I can kick alot of people's asses if needed. so not many kids talk lol....but i think vball will help keep me agile for wrestling, dont you think?

there is a sport I might think about doing that you'd love, evo. I forget what its called, but where you throw the big heavy steal balls. My school has just about every sport you can think of.

Thanks for the exercises, I'll start looking into it more.

I love Volleyball. Spiked the hell out of this kid Today. He was shocked. They didn't think I could jump that high.

i agree...nothing wrong with mens volleyball, it's a lot of fun.

especially on a beach

LOL, Merciless, I love playing volleyball. I was just shocked that they let guys play until you told me you go to an all guys school.

yeah, play it while in off-season of the other sports.
