For all of us that love watching volleyball (or other sports our children are involved in) but have a tendency to get a little too involved in the game. For those of us that cross the line between supportive fan and obnoxious spectator, this book will serve as a gentle and hilarious reminder that coaches coach, officials officiate, players play, and parents parent (cheer, hug, encourage, help, transport, feed). Written by an experienced volleyball mom and USA Volleyball, this book is designed to make the volleyball court a much more enjoyable place for us all to be.

Jenny Lang Ping, Head Coach Volleyball Women's National Team. Julia Cook has captured the heart and soul of what is happening with many of us as we watch our kids compete in the volleyball arena. How better to show us what an impact we have on our kids through such a fun publication. A required reading for all of us who have kids playing youth sports. --Mick Haley, 2000 USA Women's Olympic Volleyball Coach at the Sydney Olympics and current Head Coach of Women's Volleyball at the University of Southern California. USA Volleyball is a proud to be involved with the creation of this book and have our name associated with it.

Not Young Adult,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: My Mom Thinks She's My Volleyball Coach, But She's Not! (Paperback)
This was listed as a young adult book and I bought it for my 14 granddaughter who plays volleyball. It is not a young adult book and way too babyish for her. This is probably more of the 8-10 age range.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Spot On.,
This review is from: My Mom Thinks She's My Volleyball Coach, But She's Not! (Paperback)
On behalf of volleyball referees everywhere, thank you so much for writing this book. I firmly believe every parent should receive a copy of this upon signing up with USAV. I keep one in my ref bag in case of megaphone emergencies. :)
5.0 out of 5 stars
Mom and Dad - be your kids biggest fan!,

This review is from: My Mom Thinks She's My Volleyball Coach, But She's Not! (Paperback)
Mom and Dad, put away the megaphone. Everybody knows the dad or mom that seems to go too far in trying to coach their kid from the bleachers. Or maybe you're one of these? I know I have been. This book gives practical tips and a good reminder to remember your proper role.
