This months Featured Club: Casualties
Based in Nottingham, Casualties volleyball club orginated from hospital staff at the Queen's Medical Centre. The club has now grown and welcomes players of all abilities (unknown sources now claim they only accept psychiatric patients). If you want to join, the club trains every Thursday evening between 7pm-8.30pm at the Portland Leisure Centre (NG2 2HE). Further details can be found on the website: www.hpjw.co.uk/volley/
A change of venue for the 16 year old tournament provided upgraded facilities all round. Showers that wet more than your big toe were a big plus and the bar and food provided the regular volleyball fuel. The rain appeared briefly on the Sunday, but teams endured the weather to play some quality volleyball.

SEPTEMBER EDITION
Drills, spills and autofills
The drills and sessions section to the website is going well, but still requires a few tweaks and more time. At the moment progress is going slow and the weekly sessions are not as weekly as one would like. Let me know if they are of any use to you (and if you read this trash) by sending an email to coach@thevolleyball.net. Go to the Coach section for further details.

This months Featured Club: Casualties (again!)
It's that good, why not. Based in Nottingham, Casualties volleyball club orginated from hospital staff at the Queen's Medical Centre.

As we come to the end of the outdoor season, clubs move their focus to the indoor season (September - March in the UK). The main factor of weather has been relatively good throughout and many new tournaments have benefited from this. Some of the more established tournaments have tried a few new things, but the level of consistency has been excellent. Do you have any pictures or comments about a volleyball tournament you've been to? Send them to monthlydigger@thevolleyball.net and we'll get them posted.
Thanks
