Working in close cooperation with numerous top German volleyball coaches and other experts, lead author and editor Dr. Jimmy Czimek has developed a guideline that forms the training basis for all youth and junior volleyball and beach volleyball divisions from U12 to U23, which he presents here in Volleyball Training & Coaching. This book is comprehensive, covering not only technique, tactics, and athletic training, but also training plans, coaching, match observation, psychological training, and nutrition. In terms of combined training, it blends the simultaneous development of the athlete in both volleyball and beach volleyball. It is also the first handbook of its kind as it presents all game systems in the small-sided games 2v2 (U12), 3v3 (U13), 4v4 (U14), and finally, 6v6 (U16 to adult). Volleyball Training & Coaching is the complete training book for all volleyball coaches!
