CEV Coaches Convention in Croatia Opportunties

Volleyball England is excited to announce an opportunity for two junior volleyball coaches to represent England at the 6th edition of the CEV Coaches Convention. This prestigious event will take place from September 26th to 28th, 2025, in the beautiful city of Zadar, Croatia. 

The Convention will bring together over 100 coaches and PE teachers from various European federations to explore essential topics related to introducing volleyball to entry-level children. This is a fantastic opportunity for coaches to gain valuable insights and share their experiences with peers from across Europe. 

To be eligible, candidates must be active junior volleyball coaches registered with Volleyball England. The selected representatives will serve as advocates for junior volleyball in England, requiring a solid understanding of the ‘Let’s Play Volleyball Programme,’ including Volley2/3s/4s and the junior competition structure. 

In return for their participation, the chosen coaches will be expected to disseminate the knowledge and skills they acquire at the Convention both locally and nationally. 

Travel arrangements include departure during the day on Friday, 26th September and return on the evening of Sunday, 28th September. The CEV will provide accommodation, meals, and local transfers between Zadar Airport and the venue. Volleyball England will arrange flights and offer a bursary of up to £150 per person for travel expenses within England, including airport parking. 

This is a unique opportunity to represent England on an international stage and contribute to the development of junior volleyball.
