Book Description

November 19, 1998


Sensational spikes and high-flying blocks make for great photos, but top volleyball coaches know that solid skills and teamwork are what win championships. And the place to learn those fundamentals and tactics is in practice. Competitive drills that have well-defined goals produce greater effort and performance on the practice court, which in turn leads to the individual development and team cohesiveness required to be a champion.

Now, seven of the world's top coaches have put together an all-star collection of practice activities in Volleyball Drills for Champions. Each drill is a winner and will help maximize every minute of practice time. It's the perfect tool for developing championship-level players and teams. This invaluable practice manual covers every facet of the game, as each coach provides several proven drills for each key volleyball skill:


-Serving: Russ Rose, Pennsylvania State University

-Passing: Lisa Love, University of Southern California

-Setting: John Dunning, University of the Pacific

-Attacking: Brad Saindon, Australia National Team

-Blocking: Greg Giovanazzi, University of Michigan

-Digging: Jim Stone, Ohio State UniversityIn addition, editor Mary Wise, head coach at the University of Florida, contributes valuable insights for designing drills and incorporating them into effective practice sessions.

Now, with Volleyball Drills for Champions, you can learn from the best and make your practices more productive every time you take the court.

4.0 out of 5 stars Oh no, not another drill book! Well, kind of..., July 13, 2000
This review is from: Volleyball Drills for Champions: Mastering Key Skills with 7 Winning Coaches (Paperback)
One problem with being a beginning coach is the constant and nagging suspicion that there is one absolute and definitive drill that will magically solve all of your problems for you. Well, no. It takes a systematic design of the practice and a good understanding to coach the sport. But what is a beginning coach to do?

This book is a good source for drills, but Coach Wise presents the drills in a format that encourages people to think about the skill first and then go into the drills. This is a drill book but it is a little more than that. Each chapter breaks down the essntials of the theme of the chapter and THEN goes into the drills. For those desperate for more drills, that does not prove to be enough of a side track to force them to think about what they are teaching, but for those who do stop and reflect on the technique and skills required to perform the drills, it is a nice touch that proves to be very beneficial. Because of the scattered nature of the book, a name college coach wrote each of the chapters, this is a compendium of knowledge which is quite uneven in terms of writing. But is serves its purpose well.

I would recommend Arie Selinger's book and Mike Hebert's book for more advanced coaches and Bill Neville's book for beginning coaches who actually wants to coach and not just throw the kids into a maze of drills.

3.0 out of 5 stars GOOD PLACE TO START., April 9, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Volleyball Drills for Champions: Mastering Key Skills with 7 Winning Coaches (Paperback)
This book has a lot of good basic drill for the technical game of volleyball. I must say, for the coach that does not have a lot of drill tucked away in his/her head, this book is a definite asset. It has a lot of good solid drills that would help any coach. I would have like to have seen some more technical drill, but on the other hand, if your team can handle all of the drills provided, your doing alright.. Well worth the money.. Thanks
