Lots of places, so I guess you want to know where other people in London play and go and join them. The good news is you're in the right place. The bad news is you'll have to do some work yourself.

Firstly, the London Volleyball Association doesn't have a team that plays volleyball - it is the organization that governs volleyball in London - it runs leagues and other competitions for volleyball clubs in London.

Secondly, we can't recommend a club or group to suit you. You will have to choose one yourself. However many clubs and volleyball groups in London are known to us and this gives you a better start than stopping people in the street and asking!

So use the Directory or the link Find ... a London Club (front page > right sidebar) to see clubs and venues where you could play.

I recommend approaching several clubs, visiting their training sessions and meeting their members before deciding which to join. To find a club in a convenient location you will have to check the venue's address from the website with a good street map.

When clubs are contacted by people wishing to play they often like to know what standard they are, how old, male or female, how long they are staying in London. Also, there is no professional volleyball in the UK so players pay all the expenses of playing which many visitors from abroad find a surprise. So ask each club how much they charge and whether the money is paid 'per session' or 'per season'.

If you are interested in other aspects of the sport, like coaching, officiating, spectating etc. or have specific questions, you can try the Volleyball in London forum for logged-in users.

Start with that and if you run into difficulties (like the club details are out of date, or you get no sensible responses) tell the LVA Secretary how far you've got and they will try and help in other ways.
