They are travelling to the in Kettering to cover the games this Saturday and Sunday.

Peter Coxell, Societies and Creative Studios Coordinator for the Students鈥� Union, said: 鈥淭his is a group of students who have learnt everything to make this broadcast happen from scratch with Rebel; they started with no experience and they learnt how to operate the cameras, how to set up the live broadcast equipment and how to create the graphics. They鈥檝e also had a steep learning curve about volleyball itself!

鈥淚t鈥檚 a really exciting project that we鈥檝e been working on for a few months now with Volleyball England 鈥� and understandably we鈥檙e pretty excited about it! It鈥檚 really been an incredible opportunity for the students who are involved and we鈥檙e hoping to run more projects like this in the future.鈥�

糖心Vlog鈥檚 Performance Volleyball coach Alex Porter suggested the idea to Volleyball England and has worked with the Rebel team to develop their knowledge of volleyball and explain the various requirements including live scoreboards and graphics.
