Our first ever 3-day Summer Volleyball Camp for juniors (U14–U18) was a fantastic success, bringing together energy, hard work, and a true love for the game.

Day 1 kicked off with a strong start as players trained for four solid hours, focusing on fundamentals like passing and footwork. The energy was high, and the progress was clear right from the start.

Day 2 built on that momentum, with sessions centred on communication and gameplay. A highlight was the introduction to sitting volleyball, led by coach @ben_strange1, giving players a fresh perspective on teamwork and adaptability.

Day 3 took us on an exciting trip to Winchester, where our juniors faced off against @wincheaglesvolleyball in a friendly match. With four thrilling sets full of rallies, passion, and teamwork, it was the perfect way to showcase everything learned over the camp.

Last Friday (21 March 2025), our club had the privilege of attending an inspiring event in Portsmouth focused on the theme “Breaking Barriers in Sport and Education for Girls and Women.”

We extend our heartfelt thanks to Stephen Morgan MP and Sam (#HeardAboutSam) for the kind invitation and for championing such an important cause.

Representing our club, Social Media Coordinator, Sade Aniemeka , and Welfare Officer, Jaz Loonan, joined thought-provoking discussions alongside community leaders, advocates, and change-makers. The event highlighted the importance of creating equal opportunities, amplifying women’s voices, and empowering the next generation of girls through both sport and education.

It was an honour to be part of a conversation that continues to challenge barriers and celebrate progress toward inclusivity and equality.

On Sunday, 24 February, we had the pleasure of hosting the Navy men’s and women’s teams for a friendly game, the second time we’ve had the opportunity to play both teams as part of our ongoing efforts to promote sports within our community.

It was an exciting day on and off the court, providing a fantastic opportunity for some of our junior players to take part in the friendly matches alongside our men’s and women’s teams. The experience allowed them to gain valuable exposure and learn from competing.

In the men’s match, the Navy team secured a 3-1 victory, while our women’s team triumphed over their Navy counterparts with a 3-1 win. The matches were competitive yet friendly, reflecting the true spirit of sportsmanship.

Many thanks to all our supporters, participants, and everyone who contributed to making the day a success. 

We look forward to many more opportunities to engage, compete, and grow together on the court!

Our Men’s team recently had the pleasure of playing a friendly match against the Portsmouth Afghan Men’s Volleyball Team.

It was not only an exciting game full of great rallies and competitive spirit, as both sides showcased skill, teamwork, and passion for volleyball, with plenty of moments that kept everyone on their toes.

Beyond the scores and sets, the real highlight was the sense of community, friendship, and mutual respect on and off the court.

We would like to extend a big thank you to the Portsmouth Afghan team for inviting and hosting us. Opportunities like this strengthen our mission to promote volleyball more widely across our community.

We’re looking forward to future friendlies and building on this great connection!
