Volleyball Australia’s bid for Rio gold has received a major boost with the extension of its partnership with leading Australian software provider Perana Sports.

The partnership will give Australia’s beach volleyball program a significant competitive edge on the road to Rio.

Perana Sports and the National Beach Volleyball Coaches have been working collaboratively over the past two years to develop what is now a world leading product.

‘Perana Sports has been working closely with the coaches and athletes of the AUS Beach Team to produce a state of the art statistical and video analysis application,” Ross Sullivan from Perana Sports said.

“The software is unique and exclusively available to the AUS Beach Team, giving them a competitive edge over their competitors on the high performance analysis front’

The exclusively of this product means Australia’s athlete and coaches can perform on the FIVB World Tour right and ultimately at the Rio Olympic Games, knowing they are supported by the world leading technology thanks to the partnership with Perana Sports.

“Working with Perana Sports and their program VBStatsHD is assisting our men’s teams to be the best in the world,” men’s beach volleyball senior coach, Craig Marshall, said.

“The easy to use statistical and video software has enabled great learning and interaction between Australian athletes and coaching staff.” Team Coach, Steve Tutton, said.

“Perana sports products have positively enhanced the performance of our teams in International world class competition towards Rio 2016”.
