150+ schools across Slovakia show interest in joining CEV School Project

The Slovak Volleyball Federation continue their work for the delivery of the CEV School Project ‘Play Volleyball – Grow with it’ in primary schools across the country. In addition to schools where the project was launched in October already, most recently it was introduced to a variety of schools in Martin, Ružomberok, Košice, and other cities.

In November, coaches taught a total of 144 hours of Volleyball in 10 primary schools. On average, 20 children participated in one class, where they tried various ball games and joined small competitions. Over the course of two months, as many as 157 classes have been run across the six regions of Slovakia. Currently, there is interest from 158 primary schools to implement the CEV School Project. 

In November, new coaches, such as Kumi, Varga, Tužinská, Tomašeková, and Kalný, joined those who had begun teaching Volleyball in schools already in October. The Slovak Volleyball Federation is pleased with the interest shown for Volleyball in schools, and their goal is to engage all children and show them the path to regular physical activity through specifically designed volleyball games and activities.
