Volleyball Development Camps
Back at ACS again for our 2010 programme
We are delighted to announce that we will be using ACS International School in Cobham, Surrey for our 2010 programme.
The facilities and equipment must rate as among the best in the country with two courts permanently available in a sprung wooden floor gym, something which shouldn't be overlooked when training young athletes in an intensive programme.We anticipate a coach to player ration of 1:5, giving the coaches the opportunity to work with campers on an individual basis.
We are also planning lectures and use of other facilities at the school such as the gym and swimming pool.

VbDC welcomes the Saudi Arabian sitting volleyball team
We were delighted to welcome the Saudi Arabian sitting volleyball team to our 2008 Summer Camp to give us a demonstration of this fast paced version of the sport. In England for a series of friendly matches and training sessions they were able to stop at Cobham on their way from Heathrow to Kent.
Under the watchful eyes of guest coach Tom Middleton and with the assistance of the Saudi team we were able to try our hand at the game.
We are always delighted to hear how our campers are developing in their volleyball careers.
