For the present study pre test – post test random group design which consists of control group and experimental group was used. The subjects were randomly assigned to two equal groups of fifteen each and named as Group ‘A’ and Group ‘B’. Group ‘A’ underwent plyometric training and Group ‘B’ have not underwent any training. Speed was assessed by 50 metre dash, agility was assessed by shuttle run and explosive power was assessed by standing broad jump. The data was collected before and after twelve weeks of training. The data was analyzed by applying Analysis of Co-Variance (ANCOVA). The level of significance was set at 0.05. The experimental group showed better improvement on speed, agility and explosive power among college volleyball players than the control group.
