A very warm welcome back to another season of the WVA ladies and juniors league.

This league is ideal for juniors and beginners to get to grips with 6-a-side volleyball playing and refereeing and also allows the ladies to play over a ladies height net - which for some is a rare occurrence! This forum provides a friendly environment which will help improve players volleyball skills.

Good luck to all teams entering, may it provide you with fun, enjoyment and lots of volleyball!

Before matches began a 2 minute silence was held due to it being Remeberance Sunday.

Current league table as of 2/11/11:

Scoring for the Christmas Cup was slightly different to the league. Full sets were played, 2 points were awarded for winning a set and 1 point was awarded if a team had half the amount of points at the end of a set.

Just a reminder that if your club is bringing juniors (players under the age of 18) to any of the fixtures then a Child Welfare Officer (CWO) from your club must be present with them. The CWO must be CRB checked through Volleyball England (if you have a CWO who is CRB checked through other means this will be ok for the first fixture in October). Also CWO's should hold the contact details for all the juniors attending any fixtures should any incident occur. These guidelines are set by Volleyball England to protect juniors and make sure they are in a safe environment. Thanks for your co-operation with this it is very much appreciated.
