Nebraska Elite Volleyball: Volleyball Performance Enhancement

Physical Training Camp (PT)

PT sessions are designed for 10-14 year old athletes who want to improve foundational strength and conditioning. They consist of a variety of training techniques including reactive, speed, agility, quickness, resistance, and core training. Sessions are interactive and consist of games and exercise that challenge players to develop performance enhancing skills and enhance hand-eye coordination.

Advanced Physical Training Camp (APT)

APT sessions are designed to optimize performance and prepare players to take their game to the next level. APT sessions are open to players who have previously attended PT camp and current 14’s players. Athletes must have sufficient core and neuromuscular coordination to participate in sessions. APT is designed to enhance vertical jump, foot speed, power, and reactive neuromuscular responses. Sessions will consist of a variety of modalities and techniques that will focus on reactive, speed, agility, quickness, balance, core, and resistance training. Athletes may opt into APT with coach Wehrli’s permission. An evaluation may be required to determine if APT is the appropriate training program for the specific athlete.
