The South West Regional Girls Training Squad

The SW Training Squads are part of the English Volleyball Association Regional Talent Development Programme. Training is offered to girls under the age of 18. (There is also a boys programme.) 

There are two training sessions:

• Under 14 Girls
• Under 16 Girls 
  

Every year players are invited to trial for a place in the training squad. To attend a training session see the Calendar and click on the link to register a place. 

It is unusual for there not to be enough places for everyone to attend several sessions.
