POWER
Pilates For Sports will strengthen your core, develop strong balanced muscles around the joints and enable you to develop a strong stable base. This core strength and stability is what you need to perform quick explosive movements such as short sprints, quick lunges to the side, quick approaches to jump and hit, and high vertical jumps to block.

CORE STABILITY
To help you understand the benefits that a strong and stable core can provide volleyball players, picture a cannon on a canoe out in the middle of a lake. Now, if that cannon fires, it won’t be able to shoot very far because the canoe will wobble and capsize, as it can’t handle the force of the cannon. In this scenario the players arms and legs are the cannon and their wobbly core is the canoe on a lake, which can't handle the power being produced because of its instability. However, put that cannon on a concrete platform and the result is very different. From that stable base, maximum power can be directed to the cannonball, resulting in the cannon being able to fire to it’s full potential. Just as a volleyball player with a strong and stable core can transfer the maximum force generated to jump high, hit hard and change direction with maximum speed.

HIP MOBILITY
Poor hip mobility will limit a volleyball players ability to jump and lunge in order to get to passing balls. Tight hips can also lead to pain and injury. Pilates helps the volleyball player to improve their hip mobility. The result is an increased ability to be able to lunge and produce power from the legs, all with a decreased chance of injury.

AGILITY
A skilled volley ball player is able to react quickly to get to the ball or get into the best position on the court and they are then able to hit the ball with power, in the right direction, at the right height and with speed.Pilates for sports will develop a strong core, balanced muscles and the co-ordination you need to be able are required to change direction with speed and power on the court.

SHOULDER MOBILITY
If a volleyball player does not have good shoulder mobility then it will lead to some muscles overworking in order to get the range of motion required for the shot which can result in pain and injury. Another impact of tight shoulders is that it will decrease the arc of the arm which will limit the power output of the hit. Pilates helps the volleyball player to improve their shoulder mobility. The result is improved power in the hit and decreased chance of injury.

JUMPING
Good volleyball players need exceptional jumping ability. Strong vertical leaps allow players to get above the net for scoring opportunities and defensive plays. Jumping can also play a role in serving by creating more dynamic hits and power.Pilates for sports will help the volleyball player to improve their jumping by developing core stability, strengthening their glutes and their core and teaching them to connect their feet to their butt so that maximum power can be generated. Pilates will also develop balanced muscles around the shoulder which will assist in improving the height and speed of the jump.

REDUCED PAIN & INJURY
If a volleyball players' muscles around a joint are unbalanced and their core is weak, it means that some muscles will have to overwork to produce a movement. Over time, with lots of repetitious movement, this can lead to pain and even injury. Pilates For Sports will strengthen your core and help you to develop strong balanced muscles so that you can run, jump, hit and change direction efficiently with good form and with decreased chance of pain and injury.
FLEXIBILITY
If the range of motion in the shoulders, trunk, hips, knees or ankles are limited then it will increase the likelihood of pain and injury as some muscles will overwork to try to deliver the range of motion the player requires. The Pilates For Sports program works to improve flexibility and develop an effective range of motion in the whole body thereby reducing your chance of pain and injury.
