OLIVER PRO made it to Volleyball with Dominican Men's National Team

Written by Otto - Sports Data Innovation S.L | Dec 2, 2025 5:55:09 PM

High-performance volleyball is undergoing a quiet but profound transformation. More and more national teams and clubs are realizing that competing at the highest level requires precise information on physical load, fatigue, jump capacity, and the neuromuscular demands specific to the sport.

On that path, the Dominican Republic Men’s Volleyball National Team has taken a historic step: incorporating OLIVER PRO, the AI-powered sports performance monitoring technology.

With this addition, volleyball officially joins the sports already using OLIVER PRO —football, futsal, hockey, rugby, handball, American football, and rink hockey— further strengthening the brand’s mission: democratizing access to elite technology for athletes across all disciplines.

What technology can be used in volleyball? Here’s how OLIVER PRO works

OLIVER PRO is a tool used by 350+ teams in 60+ countries, composed of:

  • GPS devices that collect millions of data points

  • A modern, dynamic, and intuitive platform to analyze and visualize them

Together, they provide essential information to help fitness coaches and trainers improve decision-making and take their teams to the next level.

Unlike other sports, volleyball is dominated by explosive and repetitive efforts that are difficult to quantify without a specialized tool. Every rally involves powerful jumps, abrupt stops, short movements in milliseconds, and intense lower-limb usage.

However, for decades, these efforts were analyzed almost exclusively “by eye,” making load planning and injury prevention very difficult.

The arrival of OLIVER PRO changes that paradigm. Its high-precision sensors and AI-powered platform allow a deeper understanding of the real demands of the game, offering objective data that was previously impossible to measure in indoor training sessions and matches.

For a sport where middle blockers, opposites, and outside hitters can jump more than 250 times in one training session, this information becomes essential for optimizing performance and protecting players.

A tool to elevate performance and protect athletes’ health

OLIVER PRO is not just a GPS: it is an integrated system that understands each athlete’s physical behavior. In volleyball, this means accessing key information such as:

  • Metrics, information, and load associated with jumps and braking

  • Accelerations and changes of direction

  • Total training volume

  • Fatigue trends and injury risk index

  • Comparisons between players and sessions

  • Athlete-specific metrics based on position

Based on this data, the system’s artificial intelligence presents clear indicators that help technical staff make informed decisions. Precise load control and specific metrics become pillars for preventing injuries and maintaining consistent performance throughout the season.

The Dominican Republic: an example of a sport embracing innovation

The Dominican National Team is globally recognized for its power, speed, and competitiveness. Incorporating OLIVER PRO not only modernizes its physical preparation structure but also positions it among the pioneering national teams adopting AI-based performance monitoring technologies.

This decision represents a clear message: modern volleyball requires data, precision, and tools that match the real demands of the game.

A new sport within the OLIVER PRO family

With volleyball now on board, OLIVER PRO confirms its versatility and its ability to adapt to the specific movements and demands of each discipline.

The expansion into new sports reinforces OLIVER Sports’ mission: bringing elite technology to more athletes and more disciplines.

For volleyball, this means a unique opportunity: measuring what truly matters —from jump load to individual evolution— through an intuitive, precise, and smart decision-making platform.
