New local sport opportunity for u10s

Hi - just giving a plug for this u10s beach volleyball opportunity: https://www.richmondvolleyball.co.uk/beach/u10

It is especially good if you think your child may become tall and athletic and "bouncy" in their teenage years, as jump height and "reach" are key. 😁

I'm plugging it as a parent as my kids have been with the club for a few years. Volleyball has usually been an age 10+ sport in the UK in the past but there is now a strong steer from Volleyball England for talent-spotting from a younger age, to help the UK compete and aim higher internationally.

Richmond Volleyball is one of the top clubs for junior development in the UK, with many of its juniors being selected for regional and national squads. It is sociable for parents too, and lots of opportunities to get involved. The club is run by volunteers, but coaches are paid.

The beach programme runs from Easter to September, based at the beach volleyball courts in Teddington, including weekly sessions and holiday day-camps. There is also an indoor programme for the winter season, based at various venues, depending on the age/team. There are lots of competition opportunities in London and around the country.

(Finally, if you're a parent put off by the kit you see some beach volleyballers wearing on TV, don't worry - they can and do cover up in line with personal preference).

Hi, many thanks for this useful information! I have been trying to enroll my daughters with Richmond club (indoor) for years but I never hear back. I cannot find any telephone numbers and they dont reply on the email. What is the best way to contact the club?

How old is your daughter? Is she a beginner or does she already play? The girls'/womens' division always seems to have a waiting list for beginners & improvers but they do sometimes advertise on Instagram for experienced senior players.

If your daughter might be interested in beach volleyball then there will be Easter camps at Teddington - they are very beginner-friendly so it might be a good introduction to the club. Most of the juniors do both.
