NEBRASKA IMPACT TEAMS UP WITH XPLOSIVE EDGEXplosive Edge Logo
Designed specifically for volleyball athletes, the Xplosive Edge has teamed up with Impact to create the superior power athlete. Trained only minutes from The Courts located inside the Omaha Sports Complex at 147th & Giles, Impact athletes can train immediately before or after practice with X-edge. Emphasis is put on increasing strength, balance, agility, and range of motion, all while developing more power. These Impact Volleyball athletes are increasing their vertical jumps while at the same time learning how to jump and land on the ground as well as accelerate and decelerate. Plyometrics are included in our training regimen only when the athlete has become strong enough to control their bodies in space. Impact athletes are trained twice a week (45 min. sessions) right before or after their practice. Each athlete is pre and post performance tested to see their own individual performance index score created by Boyd Epley of Epic Athletic Performance.  ALL REGISTRATION FORMS ARE DUE NOW.  PLEASE TURN THEM INTO KIM YONG ASAP!  Click here for registration form.
