4.0 out of 5 stars An older guide, February 21, 2005

L. Bligh "Teacher, Wife and Grad Student" (North Carolina) - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)

This review is from: Youth Volleyball: The Guide for Coaches & Parents (Betterway Coaching Kids Series) (Paperback)

I was in search of some resources to guide a brand new coach who isn't all that familiar with the technical details of the game. This book contains lengthy descriptions of the rules and explanations of the different roles each player has on the court. I found all of this helpful. My only complaint is since this is an older book it does not mention rally scoring which is predominatly in use today. The book centers on describing the old 15 point system, and the rules associated with that. I'm glad that it took the time to explain what each job on the court is and so I am happy with my purchase as a whole.
