Product Description
One of the most complete books on coaching volleyball ever printed — includes advice, tips, and cues that take the experienced coach years to accumulate.
This comprehensive book covers every aspect of coaching volleyball — from the beginning basic skills to information on aiding the talented college-bound athlete. It guides the coach through the decision-making processes of tryouts, practice schedules, setting up the team's offense and defense, coaching a game, and dealing with parents and administrators. Here are the keys to creating a winning volleyball class or entire volleyball program from the elementary to collegiate level, based on the solid knowledge that comes with years of experience.

Format:Paperback
This is an excellent book. The chapters are self-explanatory, with many pictures and key words provided to allow concise explanation of drills and techniques. This allows coaches to explain to players what is required with them. The book is written with American coaches in mind, for use in their collegate system, but it is transposeable to other country's systems.

Love it. Love it! Love it!!

Format:Paperback
I played high school volleyball for one of these authors, so I grew up playing all of the drills and games in this book. I am now a college coach myself & I STILL use this book as a reference guide when I go to plan out a practice. Your athletes will love the different games included in the book that put a different spin on the regular game of volleyball.

If you buy ONE book on how to coach volleyball, make it this one. Carl McGown is the "guru" of volleyball and if you read this book, implement what it says, your team will be better RIGHT NOW!
A book which goes beyond the x and o's to provide the coach with the correct skills and attitudes necessary to compete at a high level.

I was able to attend BYU, Provo when Carl McGown was head coach of the men's team. This book is great for coaching and providing insight from High school to college level teams. I would recommend to any coach.
