Competition is a vital part of Let's Play Volleyball. Appropriate competition is essential to retaining young people in the sport.

Players who compete are more likely than others to play volleyball more often and continue playing, rather than dropping out of the sport. 

Clubs, schools, regions and counties can play a vital role in growing our sport by providing more young people with a fun and friendly introduction to competition with a clear progression for players who want to do more. 

Junior Competition Framework

The Junior Competition Framework include specific guidelines on game format, court sizes, net heights, ball weight and other elements to ensure that the level of play is suitable for the players' age and skill levels.
