Bangkok, Thailand, October 4, 2021 – The FIVB Level-1 Coaches Course is being organised online by FIVB Development Centre Thailand in conjunction with Thailand Volleyball Association and Asian Volleyball Confederation between October 4 and 14, 2021.
As the world of work has been profoundly affected by the global COVID-19 pandemic, Thailand also faces waves of coronavirus infections across the country and thus, has implemented travel and lockdown restrictions and strict measures to mitigate the spread of the COVID-19. The FIVB DC Thailand also understood the situation and decided to close all running activities since March 2020.
However, approved by FIVB Technical and Development Department, the FIVB DC Thailand got the online first Coaches Course of 2021 off the ground despite the global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Due to huge demand for the Level-1 Coaches Course, the FIVB DC Thailand got the FIVB approval to simultaneously conduct this course in two different classrooms.
Mr Shailen Ramdoo from Finland
The first classroom is conducted by Mr Shailen Ramdoo, FIVB Course Instructor from Finland, with 29 coaches including 18 men participating, while Mr Atsushi Katoh, FIVB Course Instructor from Japan, conducts the second classroom with 31 coaches from 12 countries including 12 women in attendance.
