As part of our commitment to volleyball at community level we have revamped the event licence scheme so that it comes in line with other initiatives being delivered throughout the country.

When planning your event why not allow Volleyball England to help with some of the aspects of running your competition/tournament. The newly revamped ''Event Licence' has been designed specifically to provide you with a service that assists you in delivering on some of the following areas; general organisation, marketing & promotion and welfare. A Volleyball England Licence is intended to provide participants with a level of quality assurance that meets their expectations.  Above all it helps us and you to ensure that your event is well delivered and that you meet minimum standards of safety.
