Clear, Encouraging, & Comprehensive
I picked up this guide because me and a friend are exploring finding a group sport to get involved in. I loved volleyball in school so hoped this might help refresh me after a 40yr break and I was not wrong. It is really well written and laid out and not only provides the basics of game mechanics but has great tips for progression, and mental and emotional attitude strategies. I liked that it highlighted the benefits to group sports and yet also provided options for practicing with a friend or even solo. It teaches how to develop mastery and confidence beyond just the basic mechanics of the game. The appendixes at the back are fantastic and will be a quick and easy resource for relearning the lingo, positions, key moves, and reffing calls. As a personal trainer I also highly valued the warm up suggestions that are specific to the muscles I will be using and will help me and others prevent injury. All in all I think the author goes beyond your basic sport how to book and has created a mind/spirit/body guide for volleyball. Lastly I found the suggestions for different places to find places to join and play quite informative and helpful

More to volleyball than I thought

I played volleyball in high school but it was a different game back then. We didn't have specialized positions or dedicated defensive players the way many teams do today. I was impressed with the level of detail packed inside this book.
The author did an excellent job explaining techniques and game concepts in am easy to understand way. Despite the amount of information included, the writing remains clear and approachable, and the formatting is clean.
The images are somewhat generic, but I actually think the book benefits from having them. They help break up the text and provide useful visual references for readers who are learning the game.
This book is an excellent resource. I came away with a greater appreciation for how much the sport has evolved. Highly recommend for beginners and anyone looking to level up their volleyball skills.

Easy to follow

I really enjoyed reading Volleyball for Beginners. It explains the rules and basic moves in a clear, easy way that even beginners like me can understand. I loved the drills, cheatsheets, and volleyball quiz at the end of the book. Also loved that Volleyball for Beginners teaches you how to play smart with pro tips throughout the book!
