UKS Jagiellończyk Biała Podlaska has taken a decisive step into the future by engaging in the European Digital Assisted Training in Team Sports (EDATS) project, designed to modernize training methods using digital technologies. Supported by an official partnership website, edats.eu, and validated by the club’s own reports, this collaboration promises broad-reaching impact for the team’s development.

Gaining from Hands-On Learning
In February, representatives of all project partners participated in a face-to-face EDATS workshop in Poland. According to the coaching staff, the meeting was “highly valuable,” offering fresh perspectives on training monitoring tools and practical advice for integrating modern technology into regular sessions. The exchange with peer coaches helped clarify diverse approaches to player development and performance tracking—an essential upgrade for their athlete programs.

Boosted Enthusiasm Among Players and Coaches
Feedback from participants was overwhelmingly positive. The athletes “showed great enthusiasm, actively participating in discussions and practical activities,” and they continued to share their experiences even after the event. Such engagement confirms the project’s immediate motivational impact and speaks to its potential for long-term influence.

Clear Goals with Measurable Outcomes
The club outlined specific objectives for its EDATS involvement:

• Raise players’ awareness of health, injury prevention, and recovery.
• Enhance training efficiency through modern monitoring systems.
• Tap international expertise and embed best practices within club routines.
• Provide athletes with enriching experiences beyond the court.

UKS Jagiellończyk expects that these outcomes will not only elevate their club but also contribute substantially to the broader landscape of volleyball in Poland.

EDATS: A Pan-European Technological Advancement
The EDATS project, led by Volleyball Alfieri from Cagliari and involving partners from Italy, France, Poland, Hungary and Serbia, centres on developing an ICT-Sport tool for real-time athlete monitoring – covering training load, injury prevention, and rehabilitation uksjagiellonka.com+11edats.eu+11bp24.pl+11. The tool is tailored specifically for volleyball, marking a leap forward from generic fitness platforms.

Looking Ahead
By embracing this initiative, UKS Jagiellończyk positions itself as a regional leader in applying digital innovation to youth sports. February’s pilot session was only the beginning. As the club integrates new technology into daily coaching—and measures its effects on performance and well-being – It stands to refine its methods and set a precedent for other Polish volleyball clubs.

UKS Jagiellończyk’s journey with EDATS reflects a growing trend in European sports: combining tradition with technology to build healthier, more skilled athletes for tomorrow.
