Cross Training Questions
volleyball (and cross country)?
okay so first of all, volleyball tryouts start in august. i have some uhm bratty frends who play volleyball and i was talking to them about this and they don't seem to think that i will make it. im good at volleyball, but they play for "the best club team" so yeah. and of course the one friend was like "i m so excited for 8th grade volleyball, i cant wait to be the best on the team again." (which she wasnt ever, she just has such a high ego it makes me want to scream!!!) ahhhh ok sry anyways my question is, if i want to try out for volleyball, what are some things i can do to train? specific workouts and things, weight training, ANYTHING that will help me become an awesome player by the fallwould be awesome also, i might do cross country ( havent decided between vball and xc) but all my friends are STICKS and have no muscles at all but they are so small that they can run fast! i run about a 14:20 2mile and a 6:30-7:00 mile right now, but im not training. specific workouts for xc would be awesome! again, for both sports, things like what types of weight training, specific workouts, plans, etc. would help most! thanks so much

- volleyball- SQUATS!!! and more sqauts- and jumps and more jumps. try running side-to-side shimmy style with your hands in frount of you at 90*.... hope that helps
- v-ball! do ball handling (umm.. settting, spiking front and back row, and passing. lots of passing. ) jump-roping is good for high jumps which coaches like. ummm... practice running sprints 30 meters or less. and sliding. also at try outs call for the ball and hustle for everything. work on overhand, jump, and underhand serves. and serve receive (have a friend serve the ball and recover it.) good luck at tryoutsssss!!!!!!
