Mannheim Foundation Donation
The Leeds VC Academy squad recently received a £500 donation from a corporate charity, Manheim Foundation, to assist with their costs and to help build a sustainable development environment for aspiring junior players from less fortunate financial backgrounds.
Penny Speers, former England Volleyball International and head coach of Leeds Volleyball Club Academy development squad, said, "It makes a big difference to receive financial support from Manheim Foundation, and means that Leeds Volleyball Club will be able to continue to provide equipment and access to training to aspiring junior players”.

After a slow start to last season Leeds VC Academy team swept away the competition to win the Yorkshire Cup Final and, with just a few weeks to the start of the new season, we are looking for all junior players interested in playing for the Academy development team this season to step forward and contact either Robin or Penny so we can start to arrange training sessions and matches. Please drop us an email, or make contact through our Facebook site. We look forward to winning some more silverware this year!
Beverley Tournament - Sunday 4th August 2013

Last Sunday saw the inaugural Beverley Tournament held at Beverley Rugby Club, with Carlos Fandango being the only team flying the flag for Leeds VC.
A mixture of sun, cloud, strong wind and the odd rain shower was not always conducive to fantasy volleyball but an extended lunch break and a cheeky beer (or two!) seemed to produce a winning formula!
Unbeaten in both rounds of pool matches and surviving a slight scare in the semi-final, a great day of volleyball was rounded off in fine style with victory in the final against a very determined Wakefield Polonia team. Congratulations!!!

Sunday 21st April 2013 - Finals Glory For Leeds and Garforth

The season was rounded off in style with victories for Leeds Men's 2nd team and Garforth at the Yorkshire Cup Finals held at York College. First up in the Shield Final were Garforth, who were never seriously troubled by York University and ran out comfortable 3-0 winners. Next up were Leeds in the Plate Final against a typically strong Hawks team, Leeds having had their confidence boosted by beating the same team 3-2 in the league only two days previously. This match again proved to be a tough, competitive affair and, after edging a tight fourth set, Leeds managed to find another gear easily taking the fifth set and the match 3-2. Congratulations to players from both teams!!
