How do top volleyball teams warm up for practices and games?
If you think it is absolutely necessary to do a more traditional warm up for volleyball team drills, you save practice time if you require players to show up 15-30 minutes before the practice to warm up. However, there is a much better way to warm up than traditional running-stretching combination. If you go and look at the top volleyball teams warming up, they do “injury prevention drills” during the warm ups. For example they will perform squats, hand walks, lunge walks, lateral lunges, especially various rubber band exercises for warm ups. Many of those drills which are done before practice or games are called “dynamic stretching”; they stretch and warm up your muscles simultaneously (lunge walk being one example). Important! Those volleyball conditioning drills are performed with very low resistance – they are just warm ups, not strength exercises. The idea behind those drills is to warm up and strengthen the muscles you need in volleyball. They often mimic volleyball movements ver
