The Teaching Methodology of Coaching/Training in Sports Games -Beach Volleyball – at the Elementary Extended Day Programme School in Greece

Abstract

Beach volleyball, a relatively new sport, is a complex game, characterized by accelerated dynamics and a rapid worldwide implementation, due on the one hand to its diversity of practices and adaptability, and on the other hand to its multiple educational and entertaining aspects (Parlebas, 2001, Tank, 1996, Hoemberg, Papageorgiou, 1994). Coaching/training in beach volleyball, under all its aspects, is constantly evolving and changing. The level of beach volleyball, in the performance segment, is determined and conditioned by the efficiency of specific actions during the competition, which is achieved through the increasing quality of the technical, tactical, physical, psychological, and theoretical training of each category of sportsmen (Alejo, 1995, Andersen, 1997, Bompa, 1999, Farantos, 1996, Hatziharistos, 1990).
