Training for Iraqi National Sitting Volleyball Team

Sport Development is a specialty of Global Sports Partners. For several years we have worked closely with federations in Iraq aiming to develop sport at many levels. Most recently (July 2011), the National Paralympic Committee requested GSP to provide training for their National Sitting Volleyball teams and coaches. 

GSP enlisted Bill Hamiter* to travel to Baghdad for a four-day training seminar. Hamiter worked with the team coaches, program director, and Adaptive Education University professors on the subject of Science Based Coaching. Hamiter also spent time training the Junior National and National Sitting Volleyball teams. The coaches were exposed to discussion on techniques and systems of play based on principles of science and research. These techniques and systems were demonstrated through drills and play with the two teams. The coaches and players were introduced to new drills and methods of striving for excellence.
