A high level of results in volleyball sport in the late 1990s demands an ever-wider basis for selection, both basic and complex psychological, as well as motor preparation of volleyball players. This level can only be attained through many years of planned and systematic imitation of movements (early specialization), planned on the scientific basis of modern education and training. Many years of systematic and complex preparation of organism of young players are necessary in order to prepare them for physical and psychological efforts, demanded by high level of training and competition. One has to bear in mind that this youngest age (6-14 years of age) is indeed the most convenient for learning. It is the age in which the greatest biological growth and the development of technique, speed and agility happens. One should not forget as well that the way of working and living (school, learning, nutrition, fun, sleep, etc.), are factors that have a great impact on achieving the highest results.
