• Players should be taught how to use the largest muscle groups possible to achieve a desired result.  For example, rather than use just shoulder muscles to create the hand speed needed to spike a ball, players should learn how to use the muscles in the trunk and hip to prevent common overuse injuries.
• All players should incorporate shoulder strengthening exercises to increase the flexibility of the rotator cuff.  Volleyball training should include spike coordination training drill with the shoulder joint held in different rotations. Visit www.aaos.org for specific training exercises.

• Be prepared for emergency situations and have a plan to reach medical personnel to treat injuries such as concussions, dislocations, elbow contusions, wrist or finger sprains, and fractures.
