Scottish Volleyball recently caught with up with one of Scotland’s professional volleyball athletes and international player, Shona Fraser. In this article, we look at what inspired her to start playing volleyball, and what motivates her to keep playing and her goals for the future, as well as learning a bit about herself and her interests.
We are delighted with the Scottish Government’s decision this week to significantly increase sports funding in the coming year, with a clear focus on supporting the work of governing bodies.
Scottish Volleyball is thrilled to announce that our U18 Women’s and Men’s squads are ready to compete in the Small Countries Association U18 Championship 2026, hosted in Dublin, Ireland. This event doubles as the first round of European Championship qualifiers, making every match crucial for progression.
Scottish Volleyball is starting the process of our membership and stakeholder consultation ahead of the creation of our new Strategic Plan, which will come into effect in 2027 and see the sport through to 2031.
The Scottish Government pledged to double annual funding for sport to £100m in its 2021 Programme for Government. With less than six months of this Parliament left, that commitment remains unfulfilled.
Congratulations to Tyler Hurdle, who completed his first day as Scottish Volleyball's newest Competitions & Events Officer.
Attending the CEV Coaches Convention in Croatia was an unforgettable experience and a real privilege. Over the course of the event, I had the chance to learn from three incredible speakers — each a bright light in their own right. What stood out most was how openly and passionately they spoke about their journeys as both players and coaches.
The CEV Coaches Convention was an outstanding event! Both the theoretical and practical sessions were invaluable and I learned so much from each of the expert speakers and their varying philosophies.
Attending the recent CEV Coaching Conference in Croatia was an incredibly valuable experience, and it more than met my expectations. Although I have played volleyball for nearly twenty years, I have only been coaching for the past two. This meant I arrived feeling quite nervous, but I quickly found that the environment was supportive and inspiring.
