Customer Reviews

Great for teaching this age group

I've been around volleyball for many years as a player, coach and ref, so I wasn't looking for a primer on coaching. Although I've had many opportunities to teach fundamentals in a clinic setting I'm getting my first opportunity to coach JO youth for a season. This book was very helpful in getting me to understand that 14 year old girls are going to need a somewhat different approach than adult and high school players and gave me great ideas to help me be successful with them. The assistant coaches were also given the book so that we all were, quite literally, on the same page during practices. Everyone thinks it is quite valuable and are committed to trying the book's approach.

Coaching Youth Volleyball

Book in excellent condition, took a few weeks to receive. Book is great for those interested in "remembering" how to play volleyball and how to help coach their own children or a team. Good foundation basic information. Helped my daughter with her serves. Would buy again.

Good read for starting a youth program

I'm a varsity coach, so stepping back and teaching youth wanted to get a refresher course as we set up our youth program. This book is a big help, though for the experienced coach I would assume they know most of it but could use it as a refresher as well. Beginner coaches it would be great, especially for middle school level and below levels.
