Volleyball may not require the same level of physical endurance as running a marathon or even playing a soccer game but it does require the ability to move explosively, change direction rapidly, jump high, and swing with power. Each player should work on having a strong core to help with those movements and to help prevent injury. Be sure to consult a physician to ensure that they are able to perform any of the following movements before attempting them.
