Introduction
As a service to coaching professionals this inaugural biannual review contains a compilation of the most recent scientific research related to the sport of beach volleyball. Our aim is to promote a research-based approach to teaching the game and to provide exposure for authors who are providing insights into how the game is taught, played and learned.
The list is not exhaustive. Effective coaching requires a multi-disciplinary approach that advances well beyond sport in general and beach volleyball in particular. The sheer volume of relevant material being published prevents us from including it all in this space. While we've chosen primarily to include materials that are specific to beach volleyball, citations will occasionally lead readers to more general materials with potentially compelling applications to coaching sport and people.
As a matter of policy full text is available only to open access materials or content readily available in the public domain. It is not our intention to undermine journals' paid subscription policies.
