Worthing Volleyball Club
The Club
We are a group of friends who started playing recreational volleyball in 1993.
Yes, this was 30 years ago.
Now?
We have successfully grown into a club with 8 teams - adults and juniors. The last 2 years have been phenomenal. We have grown our junior wing and reached national competitions.
However, we are open to most ages and abilities.
We welcome new people all year long, not just in our teams but in our "more social" games, a healthy mix of fun and competition (as well as a fair share of taking the mick!).
Worthing Volleyball Club is still an amateur sports entity.
This means that all our success (and work!) has been run by volunteers.
Behind the scenes, an executive committee is responsible for the day-to-day decisions, the annual AGM and future plans. We will also find other executive members, such as the team secretaries, to help manage the teams.
Meet the Worthing Volleyball Club team below.
