In line with its objective of inclusion for all participants, EUSA took a momentous step in this endeavour today by signing a Memorandum of Understanding with ParaVolley Europe.

The signing of the significant document took place at the EUSA Offices in Ljubljana, Slovenia in the presence of ParaVolley Europe President Mr Branko Mihorko and EUSA President Mr Adam Roczek.

In the past, EUSA has included sporting competitions for students with disabilities at the previous two editions of the European Universities Games, and will this year include Para Judo and Para Table Tennis on the sports schedule for the fifth edition of the European Universities Games in Belgrade, Serbia.

Following the signing of this Memorandum of Understanding with ParaVolley Europe, EUSA will look to include more events and competitions for athletes with disabilities, beginning with ParaVolley.



Some of the main objectives of the Memorandum of Understanding between EUSA and ParaVolley include strengthening general cooperation and partnership between the two organisations; working together in activities and projects promoting university sport in Europe, promoting and contributing to the development of competitions in all ParaVolley disciplines among students and searching for wider synergies and new opportunities arising from the cooperation.

In addition, ParaVolley will be given the possibility to include young referees at EUSA competitions and offer education seminars and technical support during EUSA sport competitions while exchanging relevant ParaVolley information and encouraging members to establish cooperation at national level.

This Memorandum of Understanding depicts EUSA’s progress and continued interest in partnerships and collaborations in the sporting sphere following the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding with the European Volleyball Confederation in October 2017.
