South Hants Volleyball Club

Selected squads from South East England U15 / U17 girls participated last week in a Youth International Volleyball Tournament in Kalmthout, Belgium, in preparation to the Inter-Regionals finals in Loughborough on 23/24th May.

South Hants featured highly, with Isobel, Klara and Sofiia (U15), and Marta, Maya, Heidi and Noemi (U17), and a few local coaches 💪👏

Teams from Belgium 🇧🇪, Germany 🇩🇪, The Netherlands 🇳🇱, France 🇫🇷, Luxembourg 🇱🇺 and England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 all met up for the event, involving over 50 teams and 500 players. Some great Volleyball on show, and a top learning experience for all.

The competition was tough, with low level of serve errors, discipline and good levels of skills being a key difference! Some top team on show also from Holland, Belgium and Germany, where height, technique, speed, defence, long rallies and quick combinations was all on show! 🎉🏐

Good luck to all for the IRC finals, where more South Hants players will also feature (Ayva, Ben, Tom, Harry and Henry) 👏
