Importance of Mobility for Beach Volleyball Players

Beach volleyball is an exciting and physically demanding sport that requires a great deal of mobility and flexibility. As a player, it is important to incorporate mobility exercises into your at-home workout routine in order to enhance your skills on the court.

Mobility exercises are designed to improve the range of motion and flexibility in your joints, muscles, and ligaments. They also help to increase blood flow, reduce the risk of injury, and promote overall physical wellness. By incorporating these exercises into your regular routine, you can improve your performance and stay at the top of your game.

1. Arm Circles - Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your arms extended straight out to the sides. Slowly rotate your arms in a circular motion, gradually increasing the size of the circle.

2. Shoulder Rolls - Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and your arms relaxed at your sides. Slowly roll your shoulders forward and backward in a circular motion.

3. Wall Angels - Stand with your back against a wall and your arms extended straight out to the sides. Slowly move your arms up and down, maintaining contact with the wall at all times.

4. 90-Degree Wall Crawl - Hold a light resistance band in a 90-degree position against a wall. You will crawl up the wall 2 inches at a time, slowly, and back down while maintaining resistance on the band. You can see this is the video below.
