New U18 sessions at Crystal Palace

New U18 sessions at Crystal Palace

Deep Dish Crystal Palace is kicking off its first ever U18 indoor volleyball programme.

Known primarily as a beach volleyball hub in London – it is one of Volleyball England’s Beach Volleyball Development Centres (BVDCs) – it has ventured into indoor in recent years with their junior club. 

Last season, more than 100 juniors played at Deep Dish last season as part of the set-up. 

Now that number is set to increase as a new 16-to 18-year-old age group will be accommodated alongside the previous offering of an after-school club for 5 to 16-year-olds.  

The Deep Dish Junior Club kicks off with indoor volleyball at the Crystal Palace National Sports Centre from September to March before they head onto the beach volleyball courts from April to September. 

That will bring competitive opportunities in both indoor and beach, including the Volleyball England Indoor Grand Prix, local friendlies and the UK Junior Beach Tour tournaments. 

The Deep Dish U9 and U12 training is on Tuesdays from 5.30pm to 6.45pm, the U16 training is every Monday from 5.30pm to 7pm and Wednesday from 5.30pm to 7.30pm.

The U18 players will train every Tuesday and Thursday from 5.30pm to 7pm at the Crystal Palace National Sports Centre.

There are limited spaces and are on a first come, first served basis.
