Volleyball is a dynamic and exciting sport that requires agility, coordination, and communication, making it both challenging and enjoyable for players.
The RAF Volleyball Association (RAFVA) is over 30 years old and although centralised at RAFC Cranwell, it is represented by personnel from Units throughout the United Kingdom so there is an opportunity to get involved wherever you are based! The RAFVA have Men’s (Harriers), Women’s (Hawks) and Mixed Development (Typhoons) squads.
RAFVA have a mission to promote the opportunities, challenges and advantages of both RAF Sport as a whole, and Volleyball specifically, ensuring they are capitalised upon fully to enable the widest inclusivity, broadest involvement and highest competitive quality.
With regular training camps throughout the year, the RAFVA is focused on the annual Inter-Services Tournament, Crown Services Tournament and Bi-annual AIRCOM tournament. Alongside this, the association feeds players into the UK Armed Forces teams with the majority of the current Men’s squad coming from the Harriers.
Training camps are run on a regular basis and are open for anyone that would like to get into volleyball, no matter your playing level or if you’re a complete beginner.
