Adding Volleyball to Exercise Shortcuts

Add volleyball to the exercise shortcut options.
Bonus would be if Fitbit could track things like swing speed, power, and vertical jump.

I second her suggestion! I consistently play volleyball many times a week and would love to be able to recognize it instead of having to manually change from auto recognized “sport” to volleyball later.

I third that comment! Please add volleyball and beachvolley to the options 🙂 

[Yaelpit]

Please add this option!!! I need each time to log the activity from the dashboard 😞

100% agree, add volleyball

Pls add volleyball to the sports modes. Currently the app detects only steps and variances in heart rate which adds to the 1x and 2x active minutes.

As highlighted in other comments, Volleyball has multiple aspects like quick sprints, jumping, squats & lunges while digging and quick reflexes overall when played even with moderate level of play. This would mean that a player would constantly be on the move with any of the above movements in anticipation of playing.

It would be great for Fitbit to have this added to be able to calculate the calories burnt when this mode is activated.

To have only about 10 exercise options to choose from on your watch exercise tracking shortcuts is inadequate. Common sports, like basketball, volleyball, etc need to be added to the tracker for easier tracking during a workout! I know I can manually add it from the dashboard, but I'd like to have it on my watch to start and stop.

That is a great point and I would love to see more information on this.

Hi!  Are there any concrete plans to implement this feature? Or the number of requests is insufficient?
