Third indoor training session tonight (less fitness, I promise !) and still a no-show from a good many of last season’s players ! The club are looking at who is around to play this season and starting to select team squads so if you are intending to play, let’s see you at training (or let someone know if you’re unavailable this season).
Please also keep Sunday 30th September free for the club (internal) indoor tournament (Details to follow).
(Possibly) the last outdoor wednesday session of the season at Totteridge tonight – let’s make it a good one. I’ll set up earlier than usual (6 o’clock) as it’s getting dark early now. Hopefully you’ve all heard about the VK Outdoor Tournament and BBQ this Sunday afternoon (2nd Sept.) at Totteridge Tennis Club, a great way to end the summer season. Cost will be around £7 per person including food so if you haven’t already, please let Angelo know if you’re coming. Look forward to seeing y’all this evening or on Sunday.
Congratulations to Junior club members Ryan and Josh who, over the weekend, finished 3rd in the National Under 15s Beach Championships in Bournemouth on Saturday and then won the Under 17s Division 2 Title on the Sunday, beating several England Cadet Squad players along the way. Given that Ryan is still “Under 13” and Josh “Under 15” and both have only been playing Beach for a matter of weeks this is quite some achievement !
Sean is running another 4-day Volleyball Camp for London Borough of Barnet Sports Development Team over the Summer holidays.

All sessions will take place at Woodhouse Sixth Form College, Woodhouse Road, London N12 9EY.
If you’re interested, please follow these instructions to enrol prior to the session dates:

Further to the success of the February Half Term Volleyball Camp for Junior Players, LBB Youth Support Service have organised another 3 day camp during the first week of the Easter holidays, run by Volleyball England Community Development Coach Sean Poole.
The camp will run between 1 and 3 pm on Tuesday 3rd, Wednesday 4th and Thursday 5th April 2012 at Woodhouse College, North Finchley, N12 9EY.
The camp is primarily aimed at beginners but LBB will also be using it to select the LBB Teams for the London Youth Games.
To register, contact the Futureversity website (see details below). For those who registered for the previous camp, the process should be a lot easier (I believe that you will only have to tick the box next to the course details ?) !!
