The Volleyball Coaching Bible

Having not played volleyball since junior high, I was looking for a good book that would give me an understanding of all angles of the game. This book is a collection of essays on each facet by different well respected coaches. Each coach was chosen according to their strong suit to lay out their individual strategies and techniques on a particular piece of the game. I found the book to be full of tidbits that make watching and playing the game much more enjoyable.The Volleyball Coaching Bible

A book of this caliber with its wealth of information and knowledge is not easily surpassed. Those coaches at the junior high level that are seeking to improve their records for the sake of promotion to the high school level would do well to have a copy of this book.

It's the v-ball coaching bible, that's for sure. In building/maintaining a program it's a big help. There's some good suggestions in there for new and old coaches, I don't know any coaches in our system without this book.

This book is worth every penny. It is written by the legends of the the game. I have read the book from cover to cover, and can still pick it up and learn something new. It has some great tips about how to motivate, communicate and teach everything about volleyball.

I have just finished this book before my club season is starting and I highly recommend it. The book applies to many areas of volleyball from youth to college/national and from men to women.If you are looking for a beginners coaching book that outlines the skills in detail with a bunch of drills, this is NOT the book for you.The caliber of contributors is excellent and the chapters were put together nicely...it flowed from front to back. I've played and coached for many years. I learned a few new things in this book, but I also felt like the book gave me a different perspective on areas I already knew. I will probably read/review this book prior to my club seasons.There were a few graphics/demonstrations. There were great pics illustrating Conditioning and Stretching. There were a few sketches of attacking and digging. Jim Coleman did a nice job on Statistics.
