Seeing as it’s been so long since
I’ve blogged it’s only fitting that I kick things off with a post about
volleyball!
On the 7th and 8th of
September, Crystal Palace will play host to VolleyFest – a combination of
beach, grass, sitting and indoor volleyball. The brain child of beach
volleyball players Chris Gregory and Jake Sheaf, VolleyFest will be the biggest
outdoor volleyball event of the year.
As part of the Paralympic
anniversary games, the GB Sitting Volleyball team will take on Holland in in
front of home fans once again. Captain Rob Richardson said, ‘Playing in front
of home crowds last year was incredible for us, so to be given the chance to
show off our fantastic sport once again at both the Copper Box and at Crystal
Palace is a great honour’.
On the indoor scene, top National
League teams such as London Polonia as well as Dutch National Team Pegasus
Nijmegen to keep the competition fresh and fierce. The beach tournament will
also see international competitors from Germany.
There will be music, a BBQ and a
beach bum lounge to host the spectators of the outdoor arenas.
Whether you developed an
appreciation for volleyball after London 2012 or were an avid enthusiast long
before the Games, this event is definitely worth getting down to.
