Pre-School season tips!

Summer is coming to an end for volleyball players. 2nd weekend in July means August is coming quickly! The last three weeks are very important to get ready for school season. High school season will start in the middle of august so time is short! As someone who has coached middle school and high school teams I know that it is so important to have your players ready even before the first morning of tryouts! Here are a few tips to help get you ready!

1. Get in shape! As coaches we know you have a life. Vacation happens and its hot. Laying around can happen and sometimes does! That is okay but get in shape! Start jumping and running! 

2. Eat healthy. Nothing any worse than eating junk food all the time. Food is fuel. The food you eat becomes your body. Think about it. The best players aren't eating nothing but cheese puffs! 

3. Lot's of water. July and August are hot months. You can't drink enough water during these times. 

4. Practice and camp. Maybe you didn't get signed up for a camp but you can practice! Practice like there is no tomorrow so to speak. Work on your passing. Ball handling is everything. 

5. Weight train. Start working your muscles. You need to be as strong as possible. Get in a gym! 

6. Attend open gyms. Your school will host open gyms and you need to be there! No excuses. 

7. Mentally prepare yourself. Get your mind right and your body will follow.

8. Set goals! Big goals and small goals! All goals need to be wrote down and posted where you can see them!  

These steps will help you be ready for school season. Time is passing quickly and now is the time to be ready! Go get them!

Work hard. Work Together!
