How to get started with volleyball

Volleyball is played at clubs. You train once or twice a week with your team and play matches during the season. Prefer no competition? Most clubs also have recreational groups.

  1. Pick a club near youThe list above shows who each club is for and whether it offers a trial training. Bring indoor shoes.
  2. Ask for a trial trainingYou train along once or a few times with a group at your level, before you decide. Write to the club in English if you don't speak Dutch.
  3. Become a member if you like itThe club places you in a team. Membership fees differ per club and are usually paid per season.

Studying at the University of Groningen or Hanze? You can also do this sport through ACLO, the student sports centre.
