Kenny Barton, Performance Programme Manager at British Volleyball Federation, said:
“We want to make the World Championship games accessible to as many volleyball fans as possible.
“Both our men’s and women’s sides are making terrific progress as international teams and we want to maximise the advantage of playing on our home court by having the strongest support possible come along to Sheffield and raise the roof.
“By providing access to the blog with a GB player will give the school or club a unique insight into the squad’s preparations and build a sense of anticipation for what should be a great weekend of high-level volleyball.”
