The purpose of this research is to know the effectiveness of plyometric training on Speed and Endurance of Volleyball players. For this purpose, twenty eight club volleyball players in the age group of 16 to 18 years were selected as subjects. The selected subjects were divided into two equal groups, in which, Group-A: PTG acted as Plyometric training group (n=14) underwent plyometric exercises with specific skills practice and game and Group–II: Control Group (CG) (n=14) acted as control which did not participate any training but allowed to take part in their regularly participating in physical activities. The training programme was carried out for five days per week for twelve weeks. Prior to and after the training period the subjects were tested for Speed by administering 50 Meters run measured in seconds and Agility by administering Illinois Agility Test measured in seconds. The collected data was examined by using dependent ‘t’ test analysis. The Statistical Package for Social Science Version 24.0 and MS Office Excel 2015 was used. The level of significance was fixed at 0.05 level of significance to identify the significant differences in the selected physical fitness components such as speed and agility of volleyball players. After applying the dependent ‘t’ test, it was found that there was a significant improvement in the Speed and Agility of experimental group when compared with Control Group. The study suggested that plyometric training with specific volleyball skills practice is suitable to maintain and develop speed and agility of volleyball players
