If you or your kids are looking for a new outdoor sport for summer, the UK's beach volleyball season is just starting up and there are lots of clubs offering lessons from beginner to advanced. Here's a map of clubs around the UK, though there might be more: www.google.com/mymaps/viewer?mid=1d6qYxYVvHGvx5Came4FhWDlFs5pgJ7Ck&hl=en

Also, if you look at the Volleyball England social media feeds they share information about new activities.

It's a great sport for juniors to get into from around age 11 upwards, especially if they're tall or can jump high (similar to basketball). Lots of people play indoor volleyball in winter and beach volleyball in summer.

There is a national network of tournaments at all levels, including junior tournaments. More info here: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/UK_Beach_Tour

It's a young sport for the UK but has been growing since the 2012 Olympics built new facilities, and it will be part of the 2022 Commonwealth Games in Birmingham too. If your kids are keen and talented Volleyball England have a national talent pathway (for UK passport holders) and they have trials every year.
