About Our Club

We are a fully inclusive club with approximately 50 members of varying age and ability.

 Our club is the first North-Eastern club to gain the English Volleyball Association (EVA) Accredited status. What this means is that we have a club that is recognised by the EVA as safe and responsible. In support of this accreditation we have committee members who have attended courses on, and are committed to ensuring we deliver; Good Practice and Child Protection, Equity in Coaching and Sport for All. We also have a Child Protection Officer. For more information on this see our club brochure.

Club Location and Training Times

 We play at (but are not associated with) Nunthorpe School, Guisborough Road, Nunthorpe, TS7 0LA.

  Add-To-TomTom

Sessions: (twice weekly through most of the year during school terms although we do have some breaks for tournaments). A calendar is available on our website (www.nunthorpe.com).

 Thursdays 7:00 to 9:00 pm—there are normally two courts in use, one for the older or more experienced player, the other for young/less experienced.

 Sundays 5:00 to 9:00 pm—the first hour is aimed at the less experienced player. After 6:00, during the league season, home matches are normally played. These are normally scheduled 6:00 to 7:30 and 7:30 to 9:00, the lower divisions playing first. If there are no home matches then training continues to around 7:00/7:30 pm.

Joining the Club

The club is open to all. We have members of all ages. You are welcome to attend two sessions for free, after this, if you decide to stay, we ask that you become a member. Membership is required to meet insurance requirements and to ensure we have personal contact details.

To become a member of the club we require an annual membership fee (due each September) and payment for attendance at training sessions, matches and tournaments. The preferred method of payment is by monthly standing order which covers all session and match costs (there may be additional charges to cover tournament attendance), but we also accept annual post dated cheques, and in special cases, with agreement, payment per session. Note that for regular players, by far the cheapest way to pay is by standing order or post dated cheques.

There are reduced rates for juniors (under 14’s). Reduced rates may also be made available to those on low incomes.

 Full details of current fees and subscription rates are provided below.

Please note that we are a non-profit making club. The committee and coordinators offer their services for free. All funds raised go towards paying the hall hire fees, providing equipment, and paying necessary memberships and insurances. Any income remaining is used to subsidise the cost of tournaments, club wear etc.

Club Activities and Achievements

The club has had yet another successful season in 2006/7:

 England Beach Volleyball Invitational Tournament, 2nd Sept 2006 at Brighton Beach. Under 14 Girls competition—Nunthorpe Eagles Winners.

17th March 2007 - U16 Girls, National Knockout Final 8, Loughborough—3rd Place

Nationals at Worcester: U15 Girls  - Nunthorpe were semi-finalists

At the Inter-Regionals the North East faired well—U16 girls were 4th of 8 and the U14 girls were 1st of 7 with three of the girls obtaining Super 6 awards. Both these sides were primarily Nunthorpe Club players.

North East U16 girls attended an England Cadets selection training session held in Manchester and the news to-date is that two Nunthorpe girls have been selected to train with the England Cadets for the UK School Games at Coventry at the end of August.

Tees Valley Leagues: Played all divisions but had to withdraw from the Premier Leagues due to a loss of National League/Premier players. 

Awards for all Grant — As a leading club in the area, Nunthorpe secured funding that will help us to develop the sport of volleyball in the area. The club is to use this funding to build relationships with a number of schools in the area, targeting younger players.

Expanding on this season, for 2007/8, several of the more experienced women players have entered the National Leagues.
