'Volley 123' Clubmark
The EVA started this clubmark a few years ago to recognise clubs that catered for various things within each club.
Volley 123 is the club accreditation scheme for volleyball within England, and as such has been designed to recognise and reward clubs that stand apart from the rest in terms of good practice. A club that achieves accreditation will be a mark of a quality club that is friendly, inclusive, equitable, well-run and most importantly safe for all. With Volley 1 accreditation the club also achieves the prestigious Sport England Clubmark award, and therefore grants become available to them.
There are four accreditation awards: Side out (for clubs that do not cater for juniors); Volley 1; Volley 2; and Volley 3.
Clubmark accreditation is awarded to clubs that comply with minimum operating standards in four area:-
Portsmouth Volleyball Club achieved Volley 1 in August 2007, and October 2008 has just been accredited as a Volley 2 club.
