In the preceding chapters the fundamentals of volleyball have been discussed in detail. An instructor must have a thorough knowledge of the fundamentals of any sport before he can do a real good job of teaching. Methods and techniques of teaching are not sufficient without this grounding in the basic aspects of a sport. It is also true that a knowledge of the fundamentals alone is insufficient for the teacher or coach. He must know sound methods and techniques of imparting his knowledge to the student or player.

In this chapter the emphasis will be placed on the methods and techniques of teaching volleyball. This includes suggestions for teaching as well as appropriate drills and tests. Since there are probably as many unique teaching situations as there are teachers, a general approach to teaching has been followed. The material has been arranged in a logical manner progressing from the basic to the advanced levels. Certainly no instructor would have reason to use all the material presented. However, certain portions of it would be useful to all instructors, regardless of their teaching circumstances.
