Abstract
The purpose of this study was to determine if NCAA Division I women's volleyball programs were in compliance with suggested current pre- and post-activity stretching protocols. Questionnaires were sent to NCAA division I women's volleyball programs in the United States. Fifty six coaches (23 males & 33 females) participated in the study. Some results seemed to conflict with current suggested practices for pre-activity stretching. The results of this study indicate that certification may not influence how well research guidelines are followed. Further research is needed to delineate how these factors affect coaching decisions.
