24MINUTI VOLLEY LAND

CHAMPION VOLLEY SCHOOL: THE “PLAY AND LEARN WITH THE CHAMPION” IS BACK

It is one of Volley Lands steady appointments. It happened in the previous editions and it is going to happen this year at 24Minutes Volley Land, where every child’s dream will come true: playing with their own champions in the “Champion Volley School” for at least one day – “Play and learn with the champion”. The volleyball giants, the ones who enteirtain us every sunday with their playing, will be teachers for two days showing the little ones the tricks of the trade in the Fun Area.
A mix of professionalism, irony and fun which is the essence of 24Minutes Volley Land.
