Depending on what stage of the volleyball season you are in you should perform strength and conditioning exercises two to three days per week. Based on the intensity of your workouts, ample rest and recovery is needed to produce the desired results, so plan for 24-48 hours of recovery. A well-designed program includes foam rolling, static stretching (if desired), and dynamic warm-up followed by core, stability, and strength exercises.
