PRESS RELEASE – May 29, 2018 – Volleyball completes ICECP
The St. Vincent and the Grenadines Volleyball Association would like to take this opportunity to congratulate Ms. Nikita Campbell on completing the International Coaching Enrichment Certificate Program (ICECP). The program provides coaches with intensive education that consists of lectures, projects, guest speakers, participant presentations, group work, field trips and project planning through partnerships between the US Olympic Committee, Olympic Solidarity and the University of Delaware. Participants in ICECP are all national-level coaches in their home countries. The Class of 2017-2018 of the program comprised of coaches from thirty-one (31) nations, five (5) continents and represented fifteen (15) sports.
Ms. Campbell’s project as part of the requirement for the program was entitled ‘The Introduction and Development of a Beach Volleyball program for athletes in St. Vincent and the Grenadines.’ This project was held over a period of six (6) months culminated on Saturday 7th April, 2018 and saw a total of forty (40) athletes learning the skills of the sport. With the lack of a Beach Volleyball facility the initial training began at the Kingstown Preparatory School hardcourt but later moved to the Buccament Beach to allow the participants to learn the movements on the sand.
