Northern Lights 2023

Introducing the Northern Lights camps …

VbDC is hosting at a “Northern Lights Camp at Sport Central in Newcastleupon Tyne over the weekend of 12th & 13th August.

VbDC is committed to the long-term development of local and regional volleyball, and as a result, aims to facilitate growth of the performance and participation aspects of the sport by bringing local players and coaches into contact with other coaches from across the UK.

There are discount packages to allow parents to affordably send multiple athletes, and the Northern Lights programme will prioritise those who live and play in the North-East. Parents are welcome to observe sessions from the seating above the courts, and VbDC representatives will be in attendance to answer any questions that may arise.

We understand that age and gender in volleyball comes with varying challenges such as different net heights and changing priorities in skills. Because of this, two courts have been booked for the Emerging Elite camp to allow for children to be grouped in a way that provides them the most benefit for their level of skill.  Volleyball Development Camps always aims to provide a coach-to-player ratio of approximately 1:6, particularly in camps that focus on the more complex aspects of the sport.
