Volleyball Centre of Excellence
Mixed Divisions South London Volleyball League Finals were played at Richmond College, Twickenham over three days on the 28, 29 and 30 April 2014. It was incredible display of quality volleyball in all 3 divisions and the winners had to work really hard to get the medals.
After a shaky start in the first match of the day vs Malory Eagles (2-0 to hosts), RVB u18 Women proceeded to winning the next two matches securing the 2 place in the London Pool of the National Championship and qualifying for the 2nd Round.
After disappointment of losing to Tendring earlier this month, Richmond Volleyball NVL Women’s team returned home from Dartford with a well deserved 3-0 victory (25-19, 25-14, 25-16). Richmond team performance had a solid base of fundamental skills that were consistent throughout the match.
Thank you to everyone who entered a team into our popular annual event – Richmond Volleyball International Festival, or enquired about an entry .
Regretfully we will have to skip a year…. Although the organisers have looked at the alternatives after some technical issues surfaced in June, it was decided not to compromise and to postpone till 2014. All vouchers issued in 2012 will be still valid for entries next year. Good things come to those who wait? We hope to make the Festival bigger and better next year and look forward to seeing you all !
The RVB Open Summer League had its final matches last week followed by presentations and a small party with refreshments in the Old Deer Park, Richmond. Friendly and fun yet very competitive, this 9 weeks competition as always attracted a big crowd of players – from NVL to beginners, from 12 to 70+ years old.
