Yesterday marked the long-awaited start of the season: the first official training sessions took place at Sporthal Steenwijklaan, and what a vibrant beginning it was! The sports hall was filled with familiar and new faces, full teams, and a mix of different skill levels. It was clear that everyone was eager to get started again.
The atmosphere was immediately positive. Experienced coaches worked enthusiastically with new groups, and it was wonderful to see how quickly the teams gelled. We already witnessed fantastic plays and thrilling rallies. Smiles were everywhere, and sweat was pouring – exactly as it should be for a first training session.
The coaches were clearly excited. They brought challenging drills and radiated an infectious energy that energized the entire group. It felt as though we had been training for weeks, given how smooth and enthusiastic the sessions were. This bodes well for the upcoming season!
And it doesn’t end with just this day. Tonight, we’ll move to the sand at Zuiderpark for the first indoor beach volleyball training sessions. Tomorrow, we’ll be back at Sporthal Steenwijklaan for a second round of energetic training.
We also want to make a call for volunteers: we are still looking for coaches for several teams, such as Dames 3 and our training groups. Our youth teams could also use some extra support. If you’re interested in giving back to the club this season, this is a great opportunity! You can even co-coach with someone else. So, step up, sign up, and help us make this season even more successful! Email the Technical Committee or the Youth Technical Committee if you’re interested. You’ll receive a generous compensation: €500 per season!
We can’t wait to see what more this season has in store for us. One thing is certain: the bar has been set, and it promises to be a season full of sporting highlights!
See you soon, on the court or in the sand!
