USA Volleyball is taking coaching education to the next level with its Coach Observation Session pilot program at the National Team Development Program (NTDP) Indoor Summer Training Series. From July 13-15, coaches had the unique opportunity to gain exclusive access to on-court training, staff meetings, and instruction led by top NTDP coaches.
A Valuable Educational Opportunity
The Coach Observation Sessions provide coaches with a firsthand experience of the NTDP training program. During the sessions, coaches had the privilege of receiving a direct live audio feed from the NTDP coaches, allowing them to observe and analyze their coaching techniques. This innovative educational initiative aims to bridge the gap between coach education resources and the NTDP training programs.
