68 domestic and international volleyball coaches are gathering in Danyang, Chungcheongbuk-do Province, to receive professional coach education from the International Volleyball Federation (FIVB).

The Korea Volleyball Federation (President Oh Han-nam) announced on the 23rd that it will simultaneously hold the Level 1 and Level 2 courses of the '2026 FIVB Coach Course' at the Danyang National Sports Center in Danyang County, Chungcheongbuk-do Province, for five days from the 24th to the 28th.

This education was arranged as part of the 'Sports Exchange Agreement Implementation System Construction Project' supported by the Korea Sports Council. A total of 68 domestic and international volleyball coaches will participate and are scheduled to complete the coach education program operated by the FIVB.

The FIVB Coach Course is an educational program designed for volleyball coaches to acquire coaching methods, tactics, and training program management capabilities that meet international standards. The Korea Volleyball Federation held its first Coach Course domestically in 2024, marking its third year this year. Following last year, it will operate both the Level 1 and Level 2 courses simultaneously this year as well.

Bulgarian-born Kristian Mihaylov and Slovak-born Matúš Kalni will participate as official FIVB instructors for this education. Mihaylov will be in charge of the Level 1 course, and Kalni will be in charge of the Level 2 course, respectively.

Mihaylov is currently serving as the head coach of the Japanese professional volleyball team Aramare Akita Shonai. In 2022, he served as the head coach of the Bulgarian U21 women's national volleyball team. Based on his coaching experience gained with national and professional teams, he plans to educate on coaching methods including basic skills and tactics.

Kalni has also built a coaching career on the international stage. Currently serving as the head coach of a Slovak professional volleyball team, he served as the head coach of the German U21 men's national volleyball team from 2012 to 2019. In this course, he will conduct advanced education for higher-level coaches on topics such as game management and tactical analysis.

The education will proceed with theoretical and practical courses tailored to the participants' levels. It is composed of content applicable in coaching practice, ranging from basic volleyball skills and tactics to training plan formulation, game analysis, player physical condition management, and advanced tactics.

In particular, participants will not only listen to explanations from the instructors but also learn training methods through practical education. On the final day, the 28th, written and practical assessments will be conducted, through which completion of the educational program will be determined.

The Korea Volleyball Federation stated, "We will continue to hold the FIVB Coach Course in the future to expand opportunities for domestic coaches to acquire international coaching techniques, and we will strive to cultivate excellent coaches and strengthen the international competitiveness of Korean volleyball."

This course will be held at the Danyang National Sports Center from the 24th to the 28th, with all Level 1 and Level 2 participants undergoing an assessment on the final day.
