Law Cases in Volleyball
WorldofVolley is committed to fulfil its mission: to inform and educate the actors of volleyball. We continue to bring relevant knowledge closer to our readers. Xavier’s contribution will be significant for all those willing to enforce their rights but also learn more about the rules and bodies governing volleyball.
Among the tackled topics, we will be describing volleyball institutions, presenting some FIVB cases which are relevant to the players and agents (for example termination of contract due to negative sports performance) and commenting on solutions when a conflict starts with a federation, club, agent or player.
WorldofVolley will also take your requests into account! Shoot your questions on our social media, tell us what you want to be cleared out and we will write about it!
