Yorkshire Volleyball Association organises the Regional Talent Development Program (RTDP) to form four squads of young players to represent Yorkshire. The focus of these squads is the Volleyball England Inter Regional Championships, that run each year over the May Day Bank Holiday weekend (2009 Reports). The Inter Regionals are a prime opportunity to be seen by the England Junior Coaches, who scout the event looking for players for the UK School Games, held in August, and for prospective England and Great Britain players.
The Yorkshire Squads selection take place in September and subsequent sessions are for selected players and by invitation only. The squad coaches may be willing to consider talented players after this date. Please contact the relevant squad manager for more information before turning up at a session.
