37thSandwell Volleyball Tournament

VOLLEYBALLERS

Dear Volleyballers

I am delighted to invite you to participate in the 37th Annual Sandwell Volleyball Tournament.

It is a ONE day tournament but once we have succeeded in getting a good number of entries we are looking to bring back Sandwell Volleyball Tournament as a two day event with camping.

The Sandwell Volleyball tournament won the Sport for All Award in the late 1980’s; it is the only sporting event in the history of British sport to receive this prestigious Olympic Committee award.

We are a long way from the 450 teams that took part in our heyday but we are trying to rebuild this tournament to its former glory.

We want to attract new teams, new players and people who want to play for fun and enjoy the game of volleyball. If you haven’t been before why not give 2016 a try or pass on the information to others.

So get friends and colleagues together form a team and come and ‘let’s play volleyball!’and get into the mood for the greatest sport in the world.

Richard Callicott OBE

Tournament Director


Sandwell represents an opportunity for players to play at an appropriate level and to enjoy a fun but competitive day.
