Product Description
Book Description
Coaching Volleyball Successfully concentrates on teaching the club, junior high, or high school coach how to explain, demonstrate, and direct the practice of fundamental skills and strategies of volleyball. This book is not limited to teaching coaches how to perform required volleyball skills, but rather focuses on how to teach these skills to young or inexperienced athletes. The book is also designed to help coaches with high-level sport skills tailor their instruction to meet the basic needs of beginning players.
Used as the text for Level 1 of USA Volleyball’s Coaching Accreditation Program (CAP), this book is full of proven techniques that make it ideal for home study and as a reference at team practices. Because coaching involves two distinct functions, teaching skills and organizing practices, Coaching Volleyball Successfully is divided into two sections.
The Volleyball Coaching Guide details how to perform and teach fundamental volleyball skills and includes over 40 drills and activities to help your players improve their skills quickly.
The Volleyball Planning Guide explains how to plan your season and conduct effective practices with ready-to-use practice plans that will help prepare your players for their first match.
About the Author
William J. Neville, head coach of the national men's volleyball team, is one of the foremost authorities on volleyball in the United States. He has coached three Olympic volleyball teams, first as an assistant for the 1968 U.S. men's team, then as head coach of the 1976 Canadian men's team, and finally as an assistant for the gold-medal winning 1984 U.S. men's team. Neville was technical director for the United States Volleyball Association (USVBA)--know called USA Volleyball--from 1986 to 1988. While with the USVBA, he was responsible for initiating their Coaching Accreditation Program (CAP), which prepared him to put together this guide for more effective coaching.
