Sven Band

Sven started playing volleyball at a young age at VV Zaanstad, he still plays for the same club. He currently plays at JA1, first team for boys U18 and trains with the men’s second team (playing third division).  

Besides training and playing at his own club, Sven is also training at Compean Volleyball school, every Sunday with other talented players from his region to learn more and improve his game. 

During the summer, Sven also plays beach volleyball at Silicium (Eredivisie level). In 2022 he also played at the Dutch National Championship beach U17 and reached the quarter finals. 

Apart from playing at the opposite spot, Sven is also able to play as a mid. His height is one of his strongest points as an athlete. He has the ability to use his height well during blocking. He has a good vision and times his block well. 

During his time in college, Sven wants to improve his attacking skills. To be able to have a better coverage of the whole court and improve his approach to become a better volleyball player overall. 

Sven is a great team player, a fighter on court who will give everything for the team. He is excited to learn from his future teammates and we believe within the right environment and with the right coaching Sven can be a great addition to many teams. 

Sven is currently in his last year of high school, in the HAVO level, the second highest level of high school in The Netherlands. He expects to graduate in June 2023 and will start college in the Fall of 2024 as a freshman. He is mostly interested in nursing related studies.
