Description
This unique text presents in-depth coverage of the fundamental skills of volleyball, with emphasis on learning and development that will lead to volleyball success. Written specifically for the benefit of the student/player, each skill is described in detail and analyzed in comparison to other techniques to explicitly show why one skill may be preferred over another. Accurate, up-to-date techniques are representative of the current literature and sport science research on volleyball skills, and are based on principles of biomechanics. For students, teachers, and coaches, this book serves as a valuable resource in terms of the focus on improvement of students' and players' abilities.
