THE INTERNATIONAL volleyball federation (FIVB) in coordination with the Philippine Volleyball Federation will hold an FIVB Grassroots Beach Volleyball Coaching Course from Wednesday to Sunday at Cantada Sports Center in Taguig to improve the skills of Filipino coaches.
FIVB instructor Athanasios Papageorgiou of Greece will conduct the live-in course.
“This would be a big help in sustaining our volleyball program,” said PVF president Edgardo “Boy” Cantada. “We will leave no stone unturned because we owe it to the FIVB and the Philippine volleyball community to hold a prestigious undertaking such as this.”
The FIVB also held a coaching course in 2014 in Tacloban City. It was hosted by PVF secretary general Karl Chan.
