VK Barnet is north London's premier Volleyball club.

We train indoors every Wednesday evening (September till June) from 8pm to 10pm at the Queen Elizabeth Leisure Centre, Barnet, North London EN5 5RR (click here for a map).

Over the years the club has been very successful at all levels (winning both Men's Div.1 and 2) and whilst we have developed several international players, we make a point of welcoming all standards of player from absolute beginners to internationals.

VK men’s friendly

Posted by Angelo on 25 Nov 2011

Enfield have kindly offered us the use of their full-sized court at the Aspire Centre, (Little Bury Street, off Church Street, N9 9HY) on Monday 12th December from 8 – 10pm. As both men’s teams have a match on the Wed 14th this would be an ideal opportunity to get in some hard practice. The cost is a £5 donation to their club (usually £8.50). Please contact Tracey to let her know if you intend to go along, and if you need a lift or can drive others from QE.
