Good weather helped make the first Masters Volleyball outdoor tournament an amazing success. Players from all over the country came together to enjoy the sunshine and some exciting action for the first Masters Summer Shindig.

Ian Towers, the event organiser was really pleased how the tournament went “ Our first summer event went fantastically well. Building  a brand new event is never easy but thanks to a grant from Sport England and the Volleyball England Foundations support in gaining the funds. We were able to get all the equipment  needed for the event without passing the cost to participants.”

The grant was part of the Sport England ‘Return to Play’ fund supporting clubs, teams and player get back on court. Ian said “This event saw that in abundance, notably Janine Lancaster who hasn’t played since her Purbrook school days in the 80’s getting back on court. We would have struggled without the support of the Foundation but now we have an event that can build each year”.
