It has one goal in mind - Improving the quality of volleyball players and volleyball coaches. Our coaches have the necessary tools to teach the skills to their players, to understand the tactics of the game, to make better use of limited time and to develop winning teams. We believe you should follow the right principles for training athletes to perform the motor skills needed in volleyball. Simple and correct principles guide our training. That’s the Gold Medal Squared way! Our coaching staff believe in this method of teaching and ALL players will be trained with these principles.
