3 Volleyball Specific Warm Up Exercises

It is commonly known that you need to replace the oil in your car. If you don’t change the oil, the gears start grinding and the car begins to deteriorate. Warming up before volleyball is much the same. If you do not warm up well, the gears (your joints) will be grinding away and your body will beak down over time.

A good warm up includes dynamic stretches that help improve your movement quality, delivers lots of blood to your muscles, and primes your body to be able to perform at a high level. Your warm up can even go a layer deeper and help you improve your volleyball specific skills.
