Dear All,
These competitions are consistent with Volleyball England’s directives of grassroot development.
The 1st Junior-Volleyball Grand Prix of the season takes place on
Date: Saturday 12th October
Venue: Stoke Damerel Community College, Somerset Place, Plymouth PL3 4BD, 1-5pm
Time of event: Approx start 1:20 p.m. and finish around 4:40 p.m.
You can enter using the link http://www.swva.org.uk/junior-grand-prix-entry-form and the cost of entering is £15 per team. The registration form should be ready in next 3-7 days so please keep checking it.
Teams are generally made up with three players, but two can play together or you can have a team of four where players rotate in. It is also allowed to include one younger boy in a girls team or one girl up to one year older in a boys team. The weight of balls should be appropriate to the age group playing and the team with the youngest player will always select the weight of the lightweight balls if there is a dispute.
