Frequently Asked Questions

Why is rotational strength important for Spikeball?

Spikeball requires constant twisting and reaching across the body to hit the net; rotational core strength ensures you can generate power from your hips rather than just your shoulder.

How often should I train for Spikeball?

Aim for 2-3 strength sessions per week, focusing on explosive movements, leaving at least 48 hours of recovery before high-intensity tournament play.
