Agility Trainer

Are You Up To The Challenge The Vertical Challenger Jump Trainer Can Offer?

There is a lot of focus out there today on athlete speed and agility. There are agility ladders, agility hurdles, speed ladders, speed chutes, climbing peg boards, training sleds, over speed trainers, bullet belts, speed resistors and so on. The list of available training items that focus on speed or agility could go on for a long time. Don't get me wrong, both speed and general agility are very important and this type of training can really focus a players general skills.

Sometimes however it is important for athletes to focus on specific skills. Football players need to focus on brute power and stability, golfers need to focus on hitting straight shots, tennis players have to work on the backswing for example. When it comes to basketball or volleyball jumping is one of those skills.

You can find a nice assortment of products that assist in building the muscles that make players strong jumpers. This article is going to focus on one product only. The Vertical Challenger Jump Trainer helps you build muscle memory through repetition and it will actually measure your progress with each jump.

The Vertical Challenger Jump Trainer focuses on a simple concept. The more you jump the better you'll get at it. The unit is simply a stand with an adjustable pole. At the top the pull does a "U" turn and comes back down. On this part of the pole there are 12 red and 12 blue movable arms spaced at 1 inch increments. You adjust the entire pole unit from 4 feet to 12 feet, depending on the players ability, and the player jumps vertically and swings their hand at the arms, the ones they make contact with rotate to the left clearly indicating how high they jumped. They can then jump again and again and again and again, you get the picture. Each time they jump they try to get higher.

It's a simple concept but it works. The Vertical Challenger Jump Trainer is durable for years of use. It comes complete with a reset pole so you can easily reset the arms for another jumper when needed. This is a piece of equipment that will last for season after season of either basketball or volleyball. You will find the Vertical Challenger Jump Trainer at www.morleyathletic.com along with a huge selection of other volleyball and basketball equipment.
