NBVA Private Coaching Policy

NBVA private coaching sessions aim to provide tailored coaching sessions for individuals seeking training supplementary to NBVA squads or in place of NBVA squads should they be unable to fulfil the training requirements. 

The NBVA provides this service, from coach to player, on a “fair play” basis. This service is based on a demand that is additional to our supply of NBVA squad coaching and should not form an alternative to squad coaching. 

Private coaching sessions should at no time form a platform for a personal coaching business at the risk of threatening the status of the club.
