This year’s SW Championships have been cancelled due to the Coronavirus
The SW Championships is the official Volleyball Championship of the SWVA and will take place at the Plymouth Kitto Centre on the 2nd – 3rd May 2020.
Please note that this tournament is the South West’s elite competition to find the best team in the region. Teams are therefore expected to select their players from their current registration lists and the organizers reserve the right to apply sanctions to the club for future events for obvious transgressions.
More details about the event will be added later

We now have 13 teams in both the ladies and men’s divisions, each team will play 10 matches in the pool rounds (6 on Saturday and 4 on Sunday) and will referee 5 times. This means that there are two teams that each team will not play over the pool rounds, so there will be play-offs for teams finishing in 3rd to 6th place, so nearly half the teams will have at least one more match.
Below are the schedules, if you want your own copy to have with you over the weekend then please print and bring with you. There will be schedules on each score table and at the competition desk, but I will not have spare copies to hand out!
There will be a team brief at 9am on Saturday morning in the cafe, so please ensure that you have at least one team member up in the café for 9am.
Speedcage
We will also have the Sportway speedcage on Saturday from 9am-1pm and also on Sunday 12pm-3pm – the challenge will be that top male and female spike of the weekend will get a Sports Way goody bag – it will be free to use over the weekend.
Sportway Shop
We will also have a shop up in these times as well, which Luke and Matt will be in attendance to sell the tickets for the booze cruise on Saturday night as well as the SW Champs shirts and other items too (Shoes etc)
Saturday Cruise
Regards the booze cruise – still plenty of tickets available – link to get tickets is below and attached is a poster – again we will print some off for the weekend
