Review

From Volleyball USA
"Spectacular! Stupendous! A real breakthrough! Although these adjectives would be exciting for any author to see in a review about his work, Joel Dearing should be thrilled regarding the one about to be used: 'User-Friendly!"

5.0 out of 5 stars Good book, June 8, 2007

By	Janis Mikulans "JM" - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Simple and understandable book. Dont expect much but the name of the book is a hit. You can understand fundamentals and get theoretic base for this game. It is what you really need if you have not read anything about volleyball and need something to start with. Book is good if you have never played volleyball or if you have never had coach or never have read anything about volleyball. So, I was fed up with playing volleyball in DIY way and decide to get some theoretic base. This book was exactly what I needed.

2.0 out of 5 stars For beginner coaches, May 12, 2009

By	TC (Madison, WI United States) - See all my reviews

This is a good "starting" coaches book for the grade school level. There are NO advanced strategies here. But if you are a new coach, it is a good book to learn the basics.
