Girls Volleyball Summer Recap '08

Coming back from an ankle injury Olivia Partin used to have a vertical jump at 19" after this summer she has gone from 19" to 24"! Below is a pic of Olivia performing Romanian deadlifts to strengthen her hamstrings and lower back some of they key musculature to improving the vertical jump.


Lizzy Leopre joined Davis Training Systems this summer in hopes of increasing her vertical jump for her college season this year. Besides increasing her vertical jump she has gained lower and upper body strength along with increasing flexibility. Even though she had a busy schedule this summer she didn't make excuses and found the time to train with us twice a week for 6 weeks.
Before Lizzy started with us she jumped a 20" Vertical Jump. The last day of training she tested at 24". That's 4" improvement in 6 weeks!!
Pictured below is Lizzy doing kettlebell work for her Vertical Jump Complex!


After taking sometime off with training Leah Rogers came back this summer to gain back what she lost along with setting some new records for herself going into her high school volleyball season.

Leah went from 23" Vertical Jump this summer to a 30"



Usually we will never box jump for height with a volleyball player but Leah wanted to break our female gym record in the box jump for high school athletes. This record was set previously by Olympic weightlifter Kari Huang with a 37" box jump. Below is Leah jumping on a 40" Plyo Box.
