Shoulder injuries are the most common type of injury to volleyball players. With many students gearing up for the season, it is important to prepare the teams to combat injuries. Most shoulder injuries are overuse injuries due to multiple overhead motions. To decrease the likelihood of this type of injury, it is important to properly strengthen and stretch not only the shoulder, but also the back and chest to provide additional support to the shoulder joint. It is also important to allow time for proper stretching before and after practice and games as well as proper time for healing between events.
