Volleyball England Team To Club Program

Small volleyball teams / clubs are invited to join this new initiative. Each participant will receive a package of tools and information to help them run a successful local campaign to attract new members, make key local contacts and grow their club. Worth over £250, the package includes free or discounted affiliation, a media pack and a £60 grant to support an event.

Information Sheet Application Form

Volleyball England are promoting this project via their website, social media sites, eNews and via email to all affiliated clubs. But, they would also like to reach new teams and clubs who may not have been involved with Volleyball England before or not for a long time.

Team to Club is one component of Volleyball England’s new go spike! campaign, aimed at getting 10,000 new adults to try volleyball across the country. As well as helping attract more people to our sport, the Team to Club project has been designed as a result of feedback from the 2009-2010 Membership Survey.
