Great Book About Beach Volleyball!
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
The Grand-daddy of beach volleyball gives excellent pointers on training, strategy, and skills in this book. He also sheds some light on the state of the AVP pro beach volleyball tour. For the latest on the AVP and inside, behind-the-scene stories, I'd also recommend "Order On The Court" by Tom Burke (2008) as a must-read!
Every volleyball player should buy this book!

This book has great photos and a balanced overall approach to beach volleyball. It's got all the basics covered and the stories that are peppered throughout the book make for interesting reading. I would probably have liked to hear more about the players and matches of the past, but I think Karch wanted this to be an instructional book rather than one for entertainment. Still I would have preferred more opinions and insights into the players and strategies. I hope that Karch does a second edition with the new AVP and it's rules.
Great for Beginners
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
This book is great for the beginner. It does not go in depth into strategy, reading hitters, positioning, etc... It does give GREAT tips on imporving your overall game, endurance, shot placement, et al. There is a bit of humor mixed into the fray, which adds the human touch.When I bought this book i was a beginner. My serves were poor, sets average, kills average, blocks average, and passes were mediocre. After just a few weeks i had a great jump serve, monster kills, and incredible blocks. I love it.If you are a beginner and want to improve quickly - this is for you. If you have been around a bit - you might find something useful in here but you probably already know this stuff. In depth strategy is lacking.
