Welcome to all of you who will be joining Lionhearts for this 2011/2012 season, for either social or competitive volleyball.
We have quite a few updates to share with you.
Lionhearts is growing rapidly
Due to the very high interest of beginner/intermediate players in volleyball, Lionhearts has decided to register 2 new teams in the London divison 2 league, Women Team 4 & Men Team 2. So, we are growing from 4 to 6 teams this year. It is very exciting to see volleyball growing so quickly in England.
Feel free to raise your hand if you wish to be involved more actively in the club (assistant coach, social secretary, etc...)
Sport Center re-opening
We received confirmation yesterday that the sport center in Bethnal Green Technology College will be re-opening on Sunday 4th September. Hurray!
New coaches
Women 3 - Maggie is stepping down this season as coach of the women 3 team. She will be replaced by Walter.
Women 4 - Nico is taking charge of the new women 4 team
Men 2 - Men 2 will be training with the Men 1 team for a few months until we can find a dedicated slot for them
Club Registration
If you wish to join the club this season, I have attached the registration form. You can hand it over to me (Nico), Allan or your team secretary with a passport size photo.
I will be handing over registration forms before trainings/trials. Payment details are included in the document.
Schedule for oncoming trainings and trials
With so many new teams and new players, we need to make sure you are assigned to the team best suited to your level and expectation with some trials trainings.
