We provide all-year-round volleyball with indoors from September to May and outdoors during the summer. Full Membership runs for 12 months and, in addition to the training sessions, includes registration for all indoor league and cup matches, coaching, insurance and priority for summer tournament teams. You need to be a Full member if you wish to play in competitive matches.

For those new to volleyball, or who just want to train and enjoy the social aspects of the club, then Casual Membership enables you to pay on a session-by-session basis. You can transfer from Casual to Full membership at anytime in the season. 

The move to Harris School Sports Centre has enabled the introduction of a dedicated junior training session on Wednesday evenings as we seek to build and strengthen the club.

Best wishes for the season from all the club officials!

In recognition of the standards set by Rugby Phoenix, they have been awarded Volley 1 (Clubmark) status, currently the only volleyball club in Warwickshire to attain such a level.

Volley 123 is the Club accreditation scheme for volleyball in England. Volley 123 is designed to recognise and reward clubs that stand apart from the rest in terms of good practice. A club that achieves accreditation will be a mark of a quality club that is equitable, inclusive, friendly, well-run and most importantly safe. With Volley 1 accreditation your club also receives the prestigious Sport England Clubmark award.

There are 4 accreditation awards: Side Out Accreditation (for a Club that does not cater for juniors); Volley 1; Volley 2; and Volley 3.

Clubmark accreditation is awarded to clubs that comply with minimum operating standards in four areas:  The playing programme; Duty of care and child protection; Sports equity and ethics; Club management.

As we build up the portfolio of information relating to the 4 key areas of the Volley 1 (Clubmark) award, the documents will be added to each section.
