Registration for Coaches Convention now open!

As previously announced, the CEV Coaches Convention 2026 will be taking place this coming June 12-14 in Viana do Castelo, Portugal. Registration is now officially open, with limited spots available for the early bird option. The seventh edition of the annual convention will feature renowned American coach John Kessel as one of the speakers together with Slovenia’s Rosana Krajnc, whom coaches and PE teachers have come to know via the latest CEV School Project webinar series, plus former elite player and now European Coaches Commission (ECoC) member Jana Kulan as the event host. 

The organisers are currently awaiting confirmation of the final speaker to complete the panel for this year’s eagerly anticipated summit in the Portuguese coastal town of Viana do Castelo with a focus on youth coaching and physical preparation for children.
