The 5th Annual Higher Education Volleyball Officer (HEVO) conference took place last weekend at the National Volleyball Centre in Kettering. The significant growth in Higher Education volleyball was demonstrated with 76 students attending, this was a record number (42% increase from 2014).
The weekend was designed to equip the students with the knowledge, training and resources to maximise volleyball participation within their universities and were delivered in an interacting and practical format.
7 handpicked senior HEVO’s were also in attendance, adding lots a value to the weekend through their experiences of good practise and challenges within the programme.
