Marv Dunphy's "Volleyball Today",
By vbne1? - Published on Amazon.com

This review is from: Volleyball Today (Paperback)
Marv Dunphy's "Volleyball Today"--a reviewThis is an excellent book. It covers all of the volleyball skills and gives cues for teaching. I've been coached by Coach Marv at the Volleyball Hall of Fame clinic, and he is excellent. His book is the same. The book is a bit dated, as it's before rally scoring and let serves, but that doesn't detract from its relevancy to today's volleyball. It is clear and concise and is easy and fun to read. It offers some excellent drills and insights into the game. It covers mental and physical side as well. It touches on offensive and defensive play, although brief it's well done. The diagrams are well done and easily understood. I've probably read every current volleyball book on the market, and this is certainly one of the better ones. I coach juniors, youths and lower level high school ball, but I believe it would appeal to coaches of all levels. Its checklist for emphasis and common errors is quite useful. It's a bit pricey at $47, but if you look around you can get it from Amazon for under $20 including S/H. Bob Hofeldt 2 of 3 people found the following review helpful

Out of date,
By Tracy K Walker - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Volleyball Today (Paperback)
This book is over 12 years out of date. The rules have changed significantly since 1999. While the basic techniques are well covered in the book, it is due for a major update.
