Best Ever!,
By V. B. Rocks "Spiker" (Rocky Mtn. High) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Volleyball: Steps to Success (Paperback)
Excellent coaching tool. My husband coaches a 13-14 year old girls vb team and this is without a doubt the best book we have found to learn all about volleyball. I check books out from the library to preview them and this is the only one that we felt was worth purchasing.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Very useful and full of god information but it's better for a club then a single person.,
By Rhiannon (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Volleyball: Steps to Success (Paperback)
Everything thing is explained nicely and will improve your game there is one troubling part though. In the warm ups it says to do the exercises that will benifit you in your area of trouble. While some of them are obvious on how they help the others aren't. I'm sure after doing them for a time you will figure it out but it would be nice to have it clearly stated in the book.
Also this book is good for individuals, coachs and teams, but as a single person it takes more work. You're going to want at least on partner most of the time. Some drills require more people so you won't get the full benefit. However it is possible to modify most of the drills to two people. The hardest thing for a single person is probably staying motivated. On a side note, you'll need more then a volleyball and a net. Some of the other things they use are a medicine ball, jump rope, ladder, something to mark a target like a cone, and tape or chalk. Plus it also helps to have a gym you can use with a net.
