Riga ladies travelled up North for an away weekend for their first two games of the season. An early start and surprisingly for Jon all the team (well, barr Netti!) were waiting for him at the pick up point.

this week the West Midlands ladies helped @WomenSportTrust with their 30 day challenge 2 promote women's sport #thirty30WST - read all about it here - http://www.womenssporttrust.com/volleyball-needing-to-dig-deep-to-stay-in-the-game/ 

Mens training will start on Thursday 20 August from 7.30pm to 9.30pm at Desso Sports Hall at the University of Warwick.  Remember - ladies training starts Tuesday 18 August from 7.30 - 9.30pm (also initially at Desso Hall).

This weekend Riga headed to Bristol for the annual Whitefield tournament.  At a new location this year we all braved the holiday traffic and after several hours made it to Bristol and settled down to a nice evening meal and a few drinks to get the weekend started.

ALL CLUB MEMBERS are invited to the end of season Summer BBQ on Saturday 25th July.  The BBQ will be held at Dan and Jules' house in Ryton on Dunsmore (Coventry) from 3pm (use the contact us function for the address if you have not already received the club email).

This year's Wolston tournament was held on Sunday 12 July.  It's fair to say the day had mixed weather ranging from rain and (pretty much) hail during the morning that almost had the tournament abandoned through to glorious sunshine in the afternoon.

Ladies training will start for the new season from Tuesday 18 August - 7.30 - 9.30. The sessions will initially be at Desso Hall at the University of Warwick.  The first few weeks the two teams will train together.  New players are encouraged to come along to try out for the teams.  In early September the training will split into separate sessions for NVL and West Midlands training.  New players wanting to come along or to get more info use the 'Contact Us' function.  

This year the annual Riga volleyball tournament will be held on Sunday 12 July.  We're really pleased to announce that we are able to use Musmaja again this year - which you'll recall we announced at last year's tournament was in doubt.  Entries are now open!

The WM women need YOUR support.  They play in the West Midlands Cup final on Saturday the 6 June.  The game is 9.30 am in Walsall and all spectators from Club members, friends and family would be most welcome to help the women in their quest to win the title. 

Team training for NVL (men and women) and West Mids ladies has now finished for the season and will resume mid-August (watch this space for further details).  Club night sessions continue every Thursday evening during term time at Bablake school from 6pm - EVERYONE Welcome!
