The Autumn Skillz and GCSE Camp is a multi-group, highly structured training programme where younger athletes combine individual ball-handling skillwork with basic team scrimmaging.
The VbDC Skillz course is designed for athletes who need to perfect their technical form for successful serving and service reception and to develop control and consistency in their passing, setting and spiking. These are the ball-handling skills that must be mastered before an athlete can engage in game-situation performance training.
As their handling skills improve, athletes are introduced to basic team-based drills. These exercises familiarise them with the complex demands of sustained high-level training that is required to play volleyball at an advanced level.
Running simultaneously is the GCSE practical exam option.
The Skillz curriculum addresses a level of proficiency needed to receive higher marks in the GCSE Sports Studies Practical Exam, and the option provides video recordings of the sessions for use in a remote assessment by the athlete's school PE instructor. This course option gives GCSE Sports Studies students 15 hours of tuition from some of the country's leading volleyball coaches, demonstrations. The practical exam is worth 10 percent of the GCSE grade.
