Team profile |
|
The Youth Boys National Team of Serbia will make its debut at the World Championships in Italy this year. Their participation in the tournament came as a reward for the fantastic result they had at the last European Championship in the Netherlands, where they finished as runners-up. Their two previous appearances at the European Championship resulted in 7th- and 8th-place finishes.
The new generation of Serbian youth players won gold at the Balkan Championship in Kazanlak last year, while in 2009 they impeccably took first place at the European Championship Qualifiers in Bardeyow (Slovakia), losing only two sets in the tournament.

Coach profile |
|
 |
Milan Djuricic was named head coach of the Serbian Youth Boys National Team in July 2008, making his debut at the Balkan an important regional competition. He had an immediate impact, helping the team win gold to start his international career on the highest podium.
A few months later, a bigger challenge was presented to the 30-year-old coach when he guided his team through the Qualifying Tournament for the European Championship. Serbia once again finished first and earned a chance to participate at the biggest European competition.
Djuricic has nothing but fond memories from the 2009 European Championship in the Netherlands, where the “Blue Boys†won the silver medal and qualified for the World Championship, which was the biggest success for this category of players.
Djuricic was born on March 8th, 1979, in Pozarevac. He lives and works in Veliko Gradiste, where he started his playing and coaching career.
Djuricic played for VC VGSK for 16 years, and he competed in all categories with his club. He retired in 2005.
At the same time, from 2001, he coached younger players at VC VGSK, and made some notable results.
Since the 2004/2005 season, he has been the head coach of the Senior Men's VGSK Volleyball Club.
