Changes to International selection

Changes to International selection

With the development of the Volleyball England talent pathway, there is a plan of moving away from the trial-based selection process for national teams.

This will instead be replaced by observations of athletes in competitions and other events such as Futures. 

Another opportunity for players to be considered for selection will be via club coach referrals. 

This will allow coaches to refer players they feel have the potential to progress into the national team pathway. 

Coaches can nominate players via this link. When submitting a player for consideration videos of the player will be required.

Coaches are also reminded that Juniors coaches are invited to join the Volleyball England ‘Juniors Coaches’ Facebook group where more information can be found about selection processes as well as other talent pathway updates.

For more information about the selection process for national teams please contact talent@volleyballengland.org.
