One of the strengths of the National Team Programmes is the 
consistent policy of linking NT Events with development opportunities for other aspects of the SVA’s performance portfolio. The Scotland V England International Series of matches, that will be presented in Glasgow on the 20th and 21st of May, is another opportunity to demonstrate this commitment to the overall development of Scottish Volleyball.
The Scottish National Team Staff will present two CPD Clinics at the Glasgow Event, using the performances in the matches to develop a better understanding of the themes that have been identified. The CPD Clinics will take place on Saturday 20th May and are free to registered coaches.
The themes for the clinics have been identified through discussions with practicing coaches. The hope is that you will sign up for one of the two workshops. The themes are;
| Topic | Content | Presenter |

An examination of the points-spread statistic, the value of the information it provides, how it links to understanding the performances of individuals, and how it can be used to influence match performance. | Ally Jack |
