Coach Development Week Webinars

Looking for coaching tips, information and resources? During this quieter time, a few OUA coaches and OVA coach developers have offered to share some of their knowledge and expertise with you. They miss the court just like all of us and want to talk volleyball. 

The OVA has created a Coaching Development Week from April 20-30th and scheduled multiple online webinars that will be led by these volleyball experts. Every certified coach that attends a session will receive 1 PD point per session up to a maximum of 3 points. The sessions are free and anyone can attend so keep on top of your coaching game and tune in! 

See below the presentation schedule and links to the webinars.
