Conditioning relevance to volleyball:
Supporting general physical capacity relevant to volleyball. Coaching, dosage and exercise selection must be individualized.
Physical conditioning supports an athlete’s capacity. It is not a disguised serve receive, attack, defense or blocking skill.
Move up only when execution meets the quality checks. Real readiness and technique matter more than a nominal age category.
