Volleyball · Vertical, approach jump, touch height
The approach is horizontal speed converted into vertical force. Most volleyball players have the jump in them; they've never been taught the penultimate step, the stiffness in the ankles, or the strength to put force into the floor. That's what we train.
What volleyball athletes need
01
Approach jump
Build horizontal speed and convert it vertically with a coached penultimate (push) step.
02
Explosive strength
Feet, ankles and hips that can absorb and return force in a short ground contact.
03
In-season power
Stay explosive through club and school seasons instead of losing the off-season gains.
Training at Batti
Feet, ankles and hips that can absorb and return force in a short ground contact.

“First day in I told him we have to be at a 36 to play where he is going. Now the goal is to hit a 40 and be one of the highest jumpers on the team next season.”
★★★★★“From her technique to her court awareness to her confidence — she is a completely different volleyball player than when she started. … You can see real, measurable progress week after week.”
The Batti method
You will always know where your athlete started, what the plan is, and whether it’s working.
- Step 01Assess
Free athletic assessment. We dive into the athlete's goals, then baseline speed, strength, power and acceleration. We review every number with you and lay out the path.
- Step 02Build
A plan built around the athlete's sport, position, goals and the gaps we found. Coached sessions, not workouts. Strength with transfer, speed with mechanics, jumps with intent.
- Step 03Retest
Every block ends on the timing gates and the jump mat. +1 mph to your speed and +4" to your vertical, or you train free until you get it.

Questions
- Will this actually transfer to volleyball?
- Yes. Sports are speed and power dominant. Assuming the athlete understands the game and is proficient at their position, the faster, stronger, more powerful athlete wins. We test the numbers on day one and retest so you can see the transfer for yourself.
- Can my athlete train during the season?
- They should. In-season training is simple: keep what you earned. Shorter, lower-volume sessions with isometrics and explosive work keep speed and power from fading by week four while we manage fatigue and recovery.
- What happens at the assessment?
- We talk through the athlete's goals, then baseline speed, strength, power and acceleration. We review every number with you and lay out the training path. It's free, and there's no obligation to continue.
