Features: During the period of 2000-2003, under the active arrangement by the Ministry of Education, the National Sports Administration Center for Volleyball, and various provincial and municipal education departments, more than 200 soft volleyball promotion activities were organized nationwide. Among them, there were 9 national championships for adolescents, college students, and middle-aged adults, 3 national-level training sessions, 29 provincial-level training sessions, and 36 provincial-level competitions. Over 10,000 teachers from various levels participated in these training sessions nationwide. Over the years, more than 20 million students across the country have participated in soft volleyball activities. In 2002, the newly revised rules for soft volleyball competitions were announced by relevant national authorities, further standardizing the sport. Looking back at the promotion efforts over the years, we believe that the high standards, wide scope, and large number of activities, combined with simultaneous promotion and research, are key characteristics of China's soft volleyball promotion work. Soft volleyball is a popular mass sports competition. It is highly suitable for adolescents. It is simple to learn, safe, and highly engaging, meeting the fitness needs of people of all ages in the nationwide fitness movement. It aligns with the reform direction of school sports that emphasizes health, student-centeredness, and full participation. It meets the requirements of various sectors (workers, farmers, merchants, students, and soldiers) and groups for grassroots sports competitions, and it has a strong foundation and vitality among the masses. This book is written based on the summary of national soft volleyball training and teaching activities in recent years. Its target readers include physical education teachers, coaches, social sports instructors, andsoft volleyball enthusiasts. We hope that as a popular and accessible book, its publication will further meet the current needs of various sectors for soft volleyball activities and better promote the development of the sport. The development of China's soft volleyball movement will undoubtedly drive the growth of soft volleyball worldwide, and we look forward to the arrival of a major exchange and development in global soft volleyball.
