A new junior volleyball club has started up for juniors aged 10 - 18 years. The venue is the sports hall at Horndean Technology College, Barton Cross, Waterlooville, PO8 9PQ. Sessions are held every Saturday from 10.30 – 12.30, and commenced on Saturday 13th September. The club is open to all 10 -18 boys and girls - whether you have played volleyball before or not. There is no need to book in advance - just go along to any session. The first 6 sessions are free and after that will cost £2 per session. The club will be part of the South Hants Volleyball Club and run by coaches and staff of the Club. The Club is registered with Volleyball England, the National governing body, and meets all the requirements for running a junior club including fully qualified coaches who are vetted and first-aid trained. The club has full public liability insurance and a welfare officer whose job is to monitor the health and well-being of everyone involved in the club.
Volleyball is an energetic and dynamic sport, popular the world over and can be played indoors, outdoors, standing, sitting, from 2 up to 6 a side, single sex or mixed. It can be a great fun holiday sport for all the family. It can also be an elite, demanding sport or anything in between, but the main thing about volleyball is that the people who play it have great fun, make many new friends and keep fit at the same time. So, if you are a junior, the challenge is to go along and try it out. If you are reading this as a parent or guardian encourage your juniors to give it a try. The Club looks forward to welcoming lots of new junior players.
