Volleyball Technical & Tactical Skills (Technical and Tactical Skills
Series)
by ASEP
Paperback from Human Kinetics
ISBN: 0736053840
Written in conjunction with renowned collegiate volleyball coach Cecile
Reynaud, Coaching Volleyball Technical and Tactical Skills
helps coaches teach players essential volleyball skills and transfer the
knowledge and ability they gain in practice to matches.
Supplemented by more than 115 photos, this book provides in-depth discussions
and coaching cues on the basic and intermediate technical skills of volleyball,
both offensive and defensive, and shows how to detect and correct errors
in players' performance.
The book goes a step further than other texts by incorporating the tactical
skills of the game, the situational in-game decisions that often affect
the outcomes of matches. Some of these tactical skills include aggressive
serving, hitting off the block, determining blocking strategies, and defending
against quick attacks.
To cultivate tactical skills, you will learn how to employ the tactical
triangle, an approach that teaches players how to read a situation, acquire
the knowledge they need to make a tactical decision, and apply decision-making
skills to the problem. By incorporating game-like situations into your
daily practices, you will help players transfer the technical skills they've
honed in practice to tactical situations during matches.
Well before the first match is played, Coaching Volleyball Technical
and Tactical Skills shows you how to establish practice and match routines
and address such issues as communicating with players and parents, scouting
opponents, and motivating players. To assist with this preparation, the
book covers planning at several levels and includes a sample season plan
and eight sample practice plans that incorporate small-sided games to help
keep you organized.
Through Coaching Volleyball Technical and Tactical Skills, infused
with Coach Reynaud's 26-plus years of collegiate coaching experience, you
will improve your performance as a teacher and tactician of the game of
volleyball. |
