The Sainsbury’s School Games are being held in Manchester from Thursday 4th September to Sunday 7th September in Manchester, England. The School Games are a great experience for any young Socttish Volleyballer but the programme of training, selection and development is just as important as the event itself.
The programme is open to all individuals who meet the eligibility criteria.
To be selected to play for one of the four Scottish teams you have to participate in the development programme. You do not have to be a high level player to attend the development sessions – you do have to be an enthusiast, committed and willing to listen to and work with the coaches. If you have any of these qualities then get invovled with the first trial dates.
