Workplace Volleyball League

Are you interested in getting your workplace more active, then why not try volleyball! Go Spike brings you Nottingham’s very first Outdoor Workplace Volleyball league! To introduce everyone to Volleyball we will be holding two taster sessions on the 18th and 25th May, two weeks prior to the league commencing, to introduce everyone to the simple rules of volleyball. Here you will be able to try out the sport with your colleagues without committing a team to playing in the league. The taster sessions will be £2 per person, per session. If your workplace enjoys the taster sessions you can sign up for the NEW outdoor league, which will run for six consecutive Wednesdays from the 8th June until the 13th July (weather permitting, of course!). Fixtures and results will be logged on League Republic and will be accessible to all participants.

If your business or organisation would like to register their interest in attending the taster session, please complete the following survey https://www.surveymonkey.co.uk/r/SportsNottsWorkplaceLeague

Rebound Basketball

Rebound is a social recreational basketball project created to get more people playing informal basketball in Nottinghamshire. The project has sessions running every night of the week across Nottinghamshire including, Womens Only, Beginners session, 16+ Mixed, 50+ Mixed (Walking). The sessions are aimed at beginners and people returning to basketball after not playing for a couple of years or since they left school. All sessions are very relaxed and social with the main focus being on enjoyment and not performance .

Basketball is an easy sport to learn as there are many skills that cross over from other sports and activities, for example; Netball – passing is the same, shooting is very similar.

Your first session is always free so you have nothing to lose by coming along and trying something different:

Wednesdays | Harvey Hadden Sports Village (NG8 4PB) | 5pm – 6pm | FREE

Thursdays | Sherwood Academy (NG4 4HX) | 7pm – 8pm | £2

For more information, find Rebound Basketball on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram under @ReboundNotts
