We love the game of volleyball and pride ourselves on welcoming and accommodating players of all ages and ability! We’re as interested in hearing from experienced players as people who have never picked up a volleyball.
If you’re new to the sport and you’re interested in getting fit, learning new skills and having fun, then you’re in the right place!
We offer:
Skill development
Guided by our Head Coach Steve Marshall and supported by our own team of experienced coaches/mentors we are able to develop skills at all levels of ability.
Competition
Through a range of leagues, we are able to offer the opportunity to play competitively at an appropriate level for every player – from National League through to local league.
Social play
For those who enjoy the game, but can’t commit to regular training and league games, we have regular social sessions and occasional friendly tournaments.
Qualifications
Opportunities for developing additional skills and gaining accreditation’s are available, such as volleyball coaching and refereeing qualifications.
How to join
To manage our training sessions and memberships, we use a free app called Teamo which can be downloaded to your phone or viewed through your web browser.
For juniors, we are targeting our programme at players aged 13-18, but can make exceptions where we feel a younger player is able to cope with the training. Please contact us first if you are looking to sign up a player who is under 13.
Signing up
- Either sign up on the web here, or in the app by entering your phone number to create a personal account, then searching for Cardiff Volleyball Club through the Find My Club option. If you’re under 18, a parent or guardian will need to sign up too.
- In the “Club section/team” part of the sign up form, the selected team should default to New Member. Select that option if not.
- Shortly after joining, one of our admin team will get in touch on the app and assign you to an appropriate training group.
- Once you have been assigned to a training group, you’ll be able see the sessions which are relevant to you when to access the calendar in Teamo. See our training page for more details.
We have a very friendly atmosphere and a constant stream of new players . We always make sure that new players are welcomed and feel included from their very first training session.
At Cardiff Volleyball Club we work hard behind the scenes so that we can offer training sessions for everyone as well as appropriate levels of competition for our various squads.
We also know that some are unable or do not wish to commit to formal competition due to family/work commitments or for personal reasons, but do still wish to be part of the club, attend training sessions and informal Club events.
With that in mind, we are offering a range of subscription types, all of which will start with effect from the beginning of September.
Fees

During the summer we are charging £4 per outdoor session, £5 for indoor sessions.

Membership vs. Subscription
We ask for an annual payment for club membership, and then monthly subscription payments during the indoor season.
The annual membership can be paid in instalments starting in September:
- Social and Regional: £10 x 3 monthly instalments
- National: £10 x 4 monthly instalments
The monthly subscriptions are then paid in 9 instalments from September through to the end of May:
- Social: £20 per month
- Regional: £30 per month
- National: £25 per month
Our Club now has around 250 members and with that comes a lot of organisation and expense! In addition to court hire, we also need to maintain and replace equipment (nets, posts, balls etc), as well as team kit.
To compete in various volleyball leagues there are costs such as entry fees, player registration, affiliation fees, and referee costs.
Generally, your membership contributes to our annual expenditure such as league costs, kit and equipment, and subscriptions cover the extensive cost of court hire.
