Chance to represent England at the CEV Coaches Convention

Chance to represent England at the CEV Coaches Convention

Volleyball England is seeking two coaches of junior players to represent England at the fifth edition of the CEV Coaches Convention.

More than 100 coaches and PE teachers from European federations take part in the event, which is held from September 13 to 15, 2024, in Sofia, Bulgaria. 

The Convention will delve into essential topics related to introducing volleyball to entry-level children. 

The chosen England representatives must be active junior volleyball coaches and be registered with Volleyball England. 

At the convention, you will be an advocate for junior volleyball in England so you will need to have a good understanding of the ‘Let’s Play Volleyball Programme’ including Volley2s and the junior competition structure. 

In return, you will be expected to share what you learn locally and nationally. 

You must be able to travel out during the day on Friday, 13th September and return late evening on Sunday, 15th September. 

The CEV provides flights, accommodation, meals, and local transfers between Sofia International Airport and the venue. 

Volleyball England will arrange flights and provide a bursary of up to £200 per person for travel expenses in England, including airport parking. 

If you are interested, please click here to complete the application form before the deadline of 26th March 2024. 

The successful coaches will be informed by Thursday 28th March. 

If you would like to discuss the process in more detail, please call Gillian Harrison, Strategic Manager (Volleyball for Life), on 01509 974691.
