Volleyball England is delighted to announce that our new Membership Survey is now live. This is our most extensive survey to date, as we’d like to learn more about you as members, and as people. The feedback we gain from this survey will help shape not only our work going forward, but could also impact our Sport England funding submission, and we need as many responses as possible to help us with this.The survey will take around 15-20 minutes, but please be assured that we will be looking at every single response. As a thank you for your time, there are prizes up for grabs including a pair of new Mizuno volleyball trainers.

All event organisers will receive a FREE Event Organisers Pack worth over £150. Your event will also be advertised on BBC Get Inspired and could be part of the I am Team GB Day. Click the image on the right to register an event.

The Deep Dish Summer Slamdown is back! This event is one of the largest events in the UK, and this year it’s being held on the blue flag award winning Canford Cliffs Beach in Poole.

Taking place over the August bank holiday weekend, the Summer Slamdown kicks off on Friday 26 August with the Corporate Cup and continues on Saturday 27, Sunday 28 and Monday 29 August. There’s also a bar, BBQ, hot tubs, shops and more, with a live DJ all day every day and player parties, plus a Team GB exhibition game on Saturday.
