Volleyball Ireland is delighted to announce new supports and incentives for our dedicated referees and coaches including a Premium Art of Coaching Volleyball Coach Education License & New Referee Uniforms.
Volleyball Ireland Development Manager, Conor Flood said, “Investing in our Coaches & Referees is a key priority for Volleyball Ireland, without them we don’t have a game. I’m hopeful this may encourage new and maybe dormant Coaches & Referees to get involved in what are really rewarding and valuable roles.”
