Beach Volleyball Jump Exercises

Learn how to jump higher in beach volleyball with simple volleyball jump exercises. You want to make sure you do all of your volleyball training and drills in the sand so that you can be used to it when it comes to game day. Beach volleyball jump training should consist of low reps at max height to increase your vertical jump ability.

Squat jumps from a seated position are one of the best exercises for beach volleyball. You simply put a chair that's about knee height by the net and explode up jumping as high as you can and act as if you are blocking the ball. Land back in the seated position and repeat. You want to get as high as you can each time you jump.
