1/4 Squat- Vertical Jump Players will perform a 1/4 squat, from that squat they will jump as high as they can.Once they land, they are going straight back into a 1/4 squat and another jump. Split squat jump Stand upright with your feet together and your arms at your side. Jump in the air and land in a split squat position so that your right leg is forward with the knee bent and your left leg is backward standing on your toes. Without pausing, jump in the air again and reverse the position of your legs. Repeat for a complete set. Kneeling jump squat You may want to practice this move with some stacked yoga mats or towels for padding. Begin this (seriously) advanced move kneeling on the ground with the legs spread a littler wider than the hips. Draw the arms back and then forcefully swing them forward to generate enough momentum to jump into a squatting position, landing on both feet. Think about using your core and glutes to help generate power for this move. Step your right foot back, coming down onto your right knee; then your left foot back and down onto your left knee, to return to start position.

New hitters rarely miss because of their arm. They miss because of their feet. Build a reliable approach, then time it with your setter.
When your hitter gets stuffed, five teammates standing and watching is how you lose the point. Good attack coverage turns a blocked ball into a second swing.
Coaches spend hours correcting arms in serve receive when the real fault is almost always the feet. Fix the movement and the platform fixes itself.
