5.0 out of 5 stars The best instructional book I've seen..., August 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Pass, Set, Crush: Volleyball Illustrated (Paperback)

I've had a copy of Pass, Set, Crush! for years, and it is by far the most useful of the books in my volleyball library. Now I'm getting a copy for my niece, who's playing high school v-ball. The beauty of this book is in the fact that it is illustrated with drawings, rather than photographs. The drawings perfectly emphasize the points that they want emphasized, and don't distract you with a lot of extraneous clutter. The information is straightforward, accurate, and comprehensible. If you want the best book for teaching volleyball (or learning volleyball) you NEED this book.

This review is from: Pass, Set, Crush: Volleyball Illustrated (Paperback)

This is an excellent book for those who want to learn more about the mechanics of the sport. The explanations are good and the illustrations are excellent. The techniques are well illustrated and the strategies are also well illustrated. A good one stop shop for beginning to intermediate players and coaches.

This review is from: Pass, Set, Crush: Volleyball Illustrated (Paperback)

When I first began thinking about coaching high school ball, Jeff Lucas's book was one of many I devoured. Although I'd played the game for years, I wanted to gain a wider perspective, and Jeff's book was very helpful.

The illustrations are excellent, and every skill involved in the game of volleyball is examined and explained in detail. I recommend this book for anyone looking to improve their skills, either as a player or a coach.
