This book deals with strategies and team tactics involved in the game of volleyball. It is not intended to be an instructional book on how to execute the various skills required to play volleyball but instead endeavors to detail and explain basic tactics and strategies involved in volleyball team play. Each chapter deals with major areas of team play while investigating tactics and strategies that may be employed in any number of game situations. A unique and heretofore rarely implemented style of play, "The Southpaw System", is presented and advocated as a tactical alternative to the conventional systems in which setters set from the right third of the offensive court.
