Volleyball is slightly different as lots of training is required to get the basic stances, postures and techniques for the basic skills. However, there are transferable skills from many different sports, so don’t be afraid to try it out! Even without a sporting background, as long as you are willing to put in the effort, you will get the hang of it really quickly! Don’t worry about being embarrassed as our members are very friendly and willing to help!
