In partnership with SoloSpike, Athletic Republic
developed a unique program to specifically train volleyball players for
improved acceleration, power, and on-court agility. Using science-based
protocols and patented equipment, athletes improve jump mechanics so
they rise higher, with more hang time and more explosive power behind
every hit.
Volleyball requires intense, short bursts of speed and Athletic
Republic works with athletes to improve acceleration. Success or
failure is tied directly to an athlete’s ability to control speed in
just a few steps. Body control is essential for the development of ball
control which is why we also focus on agility. An efficient player must
be able to shuffle, step, reach, change direction, move backward, and
jump—all while making contact with the ball. Attack positions require
the ability to change from horizontal velocity to vertical velocity and
create explosive jumping power. Arm swing mechanics required to spike
the ball are also based on power development. Athletic Republic
trainers guide volleyball players through essential drills to improve
every serve, set, spike, jump, and hit.
