I am still looking for a couple more volunteers to participate in a practice session at Sacred Heart in Halifax on February 14th from 1:00pm to 4:00pm.  The practice sesssion is being conducted as part of the Level 2 Coaching Clinic being held at the school. The coaches attending the course need players to perform the drills assigned by the teaching staff. This is a great opportunity to be coached by various other coaches.

If you are interested please email me at u16girls@lakersvolleyball.org before Friday February 12th, 2010.

Volleyball Nova Scotia is pleased to announce the launch of a 12 and Under Mini Volleyball Program.  The program will be run in 5 different locations around metro by Justin Lynch, head coach of the University of Kings College men’s volleyball team.  The program will run for 8 weeks at a cost of $45 per athlete.

The program is geared towards girls and boys ranging from ages 8-12.  It is a modified version of the volleyball game intended to allow children to learn the skills while still having fun and experiencing success.  This program is ideal for any child who may want to play for their school or club in the future.  It is also great for any child looking to try the sport or even just to get out and be active.  The start date for the program is January 4th, 2010.

For more information and to register visit www.minivns.org.  Please direct any questions about the program to admin@minivns.org.
