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. The vclub enters teams in Essex League and Cup competitions. In December 2012 it was awarded Volley 1 club re accreditation, the sport's equivalent of Clubmark. When first obtained in February 2007, it was the first in Essex, second in East region and only 16th nationally to achieve this. We play both standing and Sitting Volleyball where we host Essex Pirates training.
This is an open club for anyone interested in starting, improving, learning and playing volleyball. We cater for almost 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.

7.45-8.30 - sociual volleyball games (standing and sitting)
