Coaching in Canterbury
A majority of the coaches in Canterbury are volunteers. As a sport, we are extremely
lucky to have so many passionate and dedicated coaches with in our Canterbury Volleyball Community - it's absolutely fantastic.
Our Association can offer a number of opportunities for our coaches, and depending on your current experience, contact us at office@cva.nz to discuss your next steps.
A question often asked is where can I start to learn to coach Volleyball?
Currently Canterbury Volleyball has our introductory "Coaching 101" course to help get people started in the coaching arena. We offer four courses a year, click on the link below to register for our next course

Practical coaching opportunities
CVA offer a number of opportunities to coach teams or practical sessions through our Wednesday Winter Volley or Sentinel programmes. These programme provide chances for coaches to work on skill based sessions In WWV, or take a team for 5x week timeframe, culminating in a weekend tournament.
There are also opportunities to coach a school team under the watchful eye of the Schools senior coach, or get involved as an assistant with one of schools or club coaches.
