KLVC are cancelling the Kings Langley Volleyball Tournament, which was scheduled for this Saturday 27th May. Despite initial interest from 11 teams, only 5 teams entered - we blame the FA Cup! Please let your players know. Apologies to those players who were interested and we hope to run the tournament in this format some other time, which we'll discuss at the next HVA Committee meeting in June.

Tickets are now on sale for this year’s National Cup Finals weekend – with the prospect of two non-NVL sides making it to the showpiece event. At a time when the footballing exploits of Sutton and Lincoln have caught the public’s attention in this year’s FA Cup, Willesden and Cambridge University stand one win away from securing their places in the Men’s and Women’s Shield competitions...

Sport England has today confirmed that Volleyball England’s annual funding is to be cut by 34%. This reduction in funding is in line with the cuts applied to most other National Governing Bodies (NGBs). The announcement means that Volleyball England (VE) has been given £422,000 to sustain its activities from April 1 until September 30. During that time, VE will make its full four year funding...

Due to our rather successful summer recruitment campaign, Kings Langley have a large number of players looking to play in a small number of games. Rather than have people sat on the bench, we've decided to split our Div 2 squad between the existing "Knights" team and a new development squad we're going to call the "Rooks". The Rooks is made up of a mixture of abilities; some total beginners, some...

As we approach Player lock down for the season, can we remind all Clubs that they should have entered their Club Players for the season on the website by last weekend. Importantly, if the HVA Rules say you need to, you must restrict a number of players to a single team. You only need to restrict players as per the HVA Rules, not just because they normally play for a particular team - this is not...

We've been busy improving the website over the last week in response to some suggestions, so thanks for those: We've coded up the HVA Rules for player restrictions (we think). When you click on an upcoming match you now see who is eligible to play. That should help team managers/captains avoid any oops moments. Clubs can now edit their matches to add a match venue. A handy icon is displayed on...

We're after a new logo as the one we have is a bit obvious and not very good ( Ed - I can say this as I designed it ). So, let your players know we're after a new HVA logo and the best design will win a new match ball for their club courtesy of the HVA. All designs to webmaster [at] hertsvolleyball.co.uk by the end of November and we'll decide if it's better than what we currently have! ** We've...
