Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need to book in advance, or can I just turn up? A: Because we have over 200 registered members, we use the Spond app to manage court capacity. Please contact us first to ensure there is space in your chosen session, then register via Spond to “check-in.”
Q: I’ve never played volleyball before. Which session should I attend? A: Beginners and those new to the sport should join our Wednesday sessions. Juniors (11–18) train at 19:00, and Adult Social players start at 20:15. Our coaches will help you learn the basics in a low-pressure environment.
Q: What should I wear and bring? A: Please wear standard sports kit (shorts/leggings and a t-shirt) and clean indoor trainers with non-marking soles. Bring a water bottle—volleyball is more of a workout than it looks!
