Coventry and Warwick Riga Volleyball Club is run fully by volunteers. We run various sessions for everyone’s enjoyment of the sport and to keep us all safe and ensure we’re all able to enjoy the sport we put in place plans and risk assessments. At the heart of our plans is ensuring the safety and wellbeing of each of you attending the sessions. Therefore, we’ve set out a few basic rules that everyone should follow when attending sessions so that we keep each other safe. By attending the sessions you agree to follow these rules and abide by the Member Charter. If people do not follow the rules and put other participants at risk then you may be asked not to attend the sessions.
- Attending sessions and Member Charter
If you need advice on the right session for your volleyball playing experience please use the Contact Us function. We are happy to offer advice and if we can’t offer you the right session then we will do our best to help you find a Club that can.
All players, coaches, officials, volunteers and spectators must follow our Member Charter during sessions. These can be found here. Please book your spot at a session in advance by via the website (www.rigavolleyball.com) using the “Book a Session” feature. For some sessions we need to limit numbers to meet our health and safety requirements – the website will detail the number of spaces available for each session and will state when it is fully booked. Where relevant, for sessions you will also pay online in advance of attending the session. For junior sessions payment is online in advance for the block of sessions. Please do not book a slot unless you know you can make it so that we can maximise the ability for everyone to play as much as possible. If you can no longer make it please log back into your account and cancel the session to free up a space for someone else to attend.
2. Volleyball sessions
During sessions you should comply with all venue guidance while in and around the venue and not taking part in activity. During activity we continue to follow the guidance provided by Volleyball England (our National Governing Body).
You can view the Club’s risk assessments here and you should familiarise yourself with these prior to sessions.
You must follow the instructions of the Coaches and organisers at all sessions.
Bring your sports gear and non-marking trainers to take part in activity as well as water required for the session.
