Abstract: Most Americans today have, at sometime, played volleyball. According to Egstrom and Schaafsma (1966:1), volleyball is the number one participant sport in the United States. The popularity which the sport enjoys is a result of its inherent appeal to all ages and all levels of ability. From backyards and beaches to high school and college gymnasiums, volleyball has grown from a recreational pastime requiring little or no skill to a fast, highly invigorating team sport. Today's scientific method of play has transformed team members from multipurpose players to specialists. Complicated offensive and defensive systems which characterize current high level competition have come a long way since the turn of the century. To become skillful and successful, a player must be willing to devote both time and energy to the development of speed, endurance, timing, and coordination.
