The Northern Ireland Volleyball Association provides coaching courses on a regular basis, from mini-volleyball to NIVA level III courses.

These coaching courses can be organised in conjunction with a delivery partner, such as a local council or school, or run on an ad-hoc basis where anyone can attend the course.

Mini-Volleyball is currently the starter course for any aspiring volleyball coach. The mini-volleyball leaders award is available at £15 per person and the course duration is approx. 3 hours.

Why Mini-Volleyball?

The philosophy behind teaching Mini-Volleyball as an initiation to "regular" Volleyball is derived from the answer to the question "How do we make Volleyball more accessible?".

The simple answer:  "By adapting the game and teaching to the youngsters' abilities, and NOT THE REVERSE".  Thus, both teacher and student have an easier time of it.

A new approach to teaching and playing Volleyball:

*  Designed for physical education classes
*  Simplified techniques
*  Adaptable to facilities
*  Focus in on learning through participation
