Volleyball is one of the fastest growing team sports in England, but there are few opportunities for athletes under the age of 12 to receive training from qualified coaches. Volleyball Development Camps aim to do something about it this autumn.
A new programme will address that gap in order to introduce youngsters to the game and prepare them for participation in new youth leagues being created across the country. Volleyball’s value as a high energy sport is just beginning to be appreciated in the UK for it’s demands on physical development in movement and coordination, and it’s requirement for teamwork and communication.
The programme consists of short periods of training in basic ball-handling skills, followed by structured small-sided games. The days’ activities last one and half to two hours and will start in early November running through to December.
