Richmond Volleyball is teaming up with Loughborough College to launch a Volleyball Academy this coming Easter 2016 in partnership with Volleyball England.
The Advanced Apprenticeship in Sporting Excellence (AASE) will be open to talented 16-18 year old volleyball players, both male and female and will combine practical sessions with academic and life-skill lessons.
Those in the RVB Academy will study the BTEC Level 2/3 Diploma in Sport (worth up to 85 UCAS points), which covers anatomy and physiology, risk assessment in sport, fitness testing and sports coaching.
