This initiative offers aspiring volleyball coaches the opportunity to gain international experience.

On the 8th, KOVO announced that it will recruit coaches for its 2026 overseas training program from July 9 through 3 p.m. on July 23. The program aims to enhance coaching skills and strengthen capabilities of domestic coaches through overseas club placements with international teams.

KOVO has been implementing the overseas coaching training program since 2024. Each year, it dispatches domestic coaches abroad, focusing on improving coaching techniques through international exchange.

In its first year, Kwon Jun-hyeong (former OK Savings Bank player) and Choi Seok-gi (former Woori Card player) were sent to NEC Red Rockets and Hokkaido Yellow Stars, respectively. Last year, Nam Eun-bin (former Heungkuk Life Insurance player) returned after gaining valuable experience with the SV League women's team Toray Arrows Shiga in Japan.

Successful candidates will be dispatched to one men's club and one women's club in the SV League. The training period, previously six months, has been extended to 8–9 months starting this season to allow coaches to fully experience an entire team season. The program will run from September 2026 through April or May 2027.

Applicants must meet three conditions: have at least three seasons of experience as a player or coach with a professional club, receive a recommendation from their current club, and hold at least a Level 2 Professional Sports Coach certification. Priority will be given to those who possess an FIVB Coach Level 1 qualification or higher, or who are proficient in foreign languages (English/Japanese).

KOVO will cover round-trip airfare, accommodation costs, and local living expenses. Successful applicants will be notified individually on July 24, with final selections made after a presentation interview. For more details, please visit the federation's official website.
