Learn Volleyball Fundamentals with our Volleyball Trainer

Goalrilla is more than just basketball. We offer training equipment built to improve you as an overall athlete. Training equipment that truly replicates the gametime experience. Whether it’s basketball, volleyball, soccer, football, baseball, softball, golf, lacrosse, or more, clutch starts with Goalrilla. Some of the product included in Goalrilla’s Training Equipment lineup include our training dummies (blocking dummy, step-over dummy, and tackling dummy), our HandleLife Heavy Weight Balls (available in two different sizes for basketball ball handling skills), a baseball swing trainer that attaches to your basketball hoop, and now in our brand-new Volleyball Trainer.

The Goalrilla Volleyball Trainer is the perfect practice net that attaches to a basketball hoop rim for volleyball players to train and maintain their setting and passing skills. The trainer can be used individually or by a group to maximize practice reps. The volleyball trainer is great for young players that are learning to play the sport, an experienced player trying to maintain their skills over time, or even just a fun break in between shooting hoops.

The trainer creates a target for the player to pass and set the volleyball into with it being automatically fed back to them after each rep. It easily folds flat and stores in any compact space when not in use. The volleyball trainer comes partially pre-assembled. The net can be quickly and easily installed by an adult and only requires a basketball hoop rim. The Goalrilla volleyball training equipment is compatible with all regulation size basketball hoop rims. 

To install the Goalrilla Volleyball Trainer, you can see our manual and accomplish this in some quick and easy steps. To start with installation, you will unfold the arms of the item and insert the pins, then unfold the ball return ramp and slide each arm into the net sleeves. You will then secure the net with plastic hooks to the bolts on the main assembly and wrap the hook and loop strap between the hinge and bolt. Loop the net strings onto the string post until secure, then using the ball clasps on the net strings, tighten the net and follow that by inserting the included screws. After these steps, you will need the help of a second adult.

Step on a ladder to set the Volleyball Trainer on your basketball rim and have your second person hand you the trainer. Then, insert the cross bar through the plastic screw slot and center the cross bar in the plastic screw. Following, screw the plastic nut onto the plastic screw making sure to face the tabs upward. While keeping the cross bar centered, hand tighten the plastic nut and plastic screw until the rim is firmly clamped between the cross bar and the rim cover. You have then successfully installed your Goalrilla Volleyball Trainer.

HandleLife founder and NBA Skills Trainer Johnny Stephene recently tested his skills to learn a new sport using the Goalrilla Volleyball Trainer. He learned a lesson on his volleyball fundamentals with volleyball star, middle-blocker Manaia Ogbechie, who recently signed to play at the University of Nebraska.

Manaia coached Johnny with the Goalrilla Volleyball Trainer on ‘out of system setting’ as well as some other volleyball skills using the Volleyball Trainer on a wall-mounted basketball hoop system. Johnny states that the Volleyball Trainer “is the perfect product for any kind of athlete and you want to mix it up in sports and you already have a basketball goal, you just attach it and now you can do something different that turns on the different motors of yours.”
