Data were then analyzed using quantitative descriptive method reported in percentage. Results indicated that coaches (100%) agreed that a combination of part and whole trainings was effective and capable of maximizing the quality of volleyball spike basic techniques. 40% of the respondents claimed highly nec- essary while to the other 60%, guidebooks to volleyball spike basic technique combining part and whole training methods were necessary.
