Introduction
Chelmsford Volleyball Club was formed in September 2005 from players of the former
National League club Chelmsford Partners. It is affiliated to Volleyball England, and
therefore covered by its insurance scheme, and enters teams in Essex League and Cup
competitions. In March 2007 it was awarded Volley 1 club
accreditation, the sport's equivalent of Clubmark making it the first in Essex, second in
East region and only 16th nationally to achieve this.
This is an open club for anyone interested in starting, improving, learning and
playing volleyball. We cater for neraly all levels of play with members
from teenagers to pensioners.
Our home court is Anglia Ruskin University Sports Hall - details of its location
click left. Please note only shoes which do not mark the excellent sprung wood floor are
allowed. Shoes may be checked on entry.
All home sessions are on Thursdays and will run between September
and April. Unless there are matches 7.00-8.00 will be turn up and play both standing
and/or sitting volleyball. 8.00-9.15 will be training for beginners and improvers
again both standing and sitting. From 9.15-10.30 will be more advanced training.
If there is a match the first playing session willl run until 8.30 and then the
match warm up starts. Sitting team players will be invited to play for Essex Pirates
in the Grand Prix series played at Kettering.
May and June is a more relaxed schedule of light training and games. Which sessions
to attend is your choice unless advised by the coach. All balls, nets and equipment other
than personal kit will be provided.
A full calendar of training, matches and social events is shown under calendar and more details of matches is shown under Competitions .
