TAMWORTH VOLLEYBALL CLUB<br />
Junior Development Programme<br />
Tamworth VC is a long established successful<br />
volleyball club that competes at a local and regional<br />
level. In early <strong>2008</strong> they decided to develop<br />
a junior section of the club in order to allow<br />
young people to learn a new sport, develop<br />
and play in a quality assured environment.<br />
Through the hard work of the club’s committee<br />
and the formation of key partnerships the<br />
club has been able to set up a Junior Academy<br />
that began operating in October <strong>2008</strong>.<br />
OBJECTIVES<br />

for setting up a junior club section:<br />
• To engage the Tamworth SSP and other key<br />
partners to deliver volleyball inside and outside<br />
of the curriculum contributing towards<br />
the 5 hour offer<br />
• To attract funding to allow the club to put<br />
into place a development plan that would<br />
ensure the club had the capacity and structure<br />
to be able to deal with the new membership<br />
• To establish a junior club and facilitate competition<br />
at a local level with a view to progressing<br />
into regional festivals<br />
