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).

We are affiliated to the Hertfordshire Volleyball Association and we currently run two Men's teams one in Division 1, the other in Division 2, one team in the Ladies' Division and a Mixed team.

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.

Hi Everyone – Pam has advised me that QE is closed all weekend, so the M2 Match vs Watford and the Beginners Training Session will no longer take place on Saturday. I have e-mailed all affected players.

As far as I know, we are back in for training as usual on Wednesday.

Great evening yesterday – 27 players turned up at QEs for our Intra-club pre-Christmas mixed tournament with some colourful and interesting head gear on display ! 4 teams played it out over 10 matches for the winners prize of having first dip in the sweet tin (kindly supplied by Sue-thanks), with Team Armidillos the eventual winners (congratulations to Gabrielle, Eran, Stephen, Jackie, James and Andrea).

Some very good performances in a VERY competitive tournament – for me a true reflection of all the hard work that the coaching team have put in this term with the availability of 2 courts for training most Weds evenings. A big thank you from me to all the assistant coaches who have helped make these sessions so enjoyable and successful.
Another big thank you to Dave and Angelo for setting up and running the Sat afternoon beginners sessions at QEs and to Eric for helping with the Junior sessions at Southgate School (~28 kids every week !)

Well played everybody, and in the right spirit ! Hope you all enjoyed the evening.
Merry Christmas to all members from the club, see you in the New Year.

Next Wednesday, 19th December, we shall be holding the Club Mixed Christmas Tournament during the regular training session starting at 8 o’clock. All are welcome !

Teams will be chosen on the night so please get there early (say, 7.50 pm) to help make selection easier (and to help set the nets up).

Theme for the evening is “Xmas Headwear (or something else Festive)” so bring your best Christmas hat/wig/socks/outfit to wear for the tournament !

Good news on Juniors – the 2nd ‘Give It A Go’ session at Southgate School last night (see details below) drew in 28 participants !

There was room for all as the coach deployed his ‘long net’ system which gives 4 badminton size courts so different standards of play were accommodated on different courts.

The PL4Sport sessions on Tuesday afternoons (see below for details) continue to grow with 38 currently registered participants with an average of 18 participants each week. Again, the ‘long net’ system is deployed.

If you know any juniors who would like to try Volleyball, please let them know about these sessions.

Contact the junior coach, Sean, at [s.poole@volleyballengland.org] for further details.
