OSCG establishes Strength and Conditioning Team

The Volleyball Federation of Montenegro (OSCG) has taken another step forward in the development of youth categories by establishing the ‘OSCG Strength and Conditioning Team’, which will play an important role in improving the physical preparation of young Volleyball players across the Balkan country.

The OSCG Conditioning Team consists of Igor Ognjenović, who will serve as coordinator, as well as members Vladan Mihailović, Marija Milović, Mirko Eraković, Nikola Đoković and Jovan Radulović – all renowned professionals in the areas of strength and conditioning with much experience in working with athletes.

The first project the conditioning team will work on concerns the continuous monitoring of the U18 men’s and women’s national teams throughout the entire year. The goal of the project is to establish systematic work on physical preparation, reduction of injury risk, and the creation of unified standards in working with young national team players.

The special value of this project lies in the fact that all Montenegrin Volleyball clubs that do not have their own strength and conditioning coaches will be able to use the expert support of the OSCG Team free of charge. In this way, the Federation aims to enable a more balanced player development regardless of the conditions in which clubs operate, and to further strengthen and expand the base of young talents.

The work of the OSCG Conditioning Team will be based on modern sports diagnostics, and all player testing will be conducted using state-of-the-art and specialised equipment. This will allow precise monitoring of physical abilities, an individual approach to training planning, and an objective assessment of athletes’ progress.

The establishment of the OSCG Strength and Conditioning Team confirms a strategic commitment to the long-term and planned development of Volleyball, with a special focus on the younger age categories.
