PLAYER REGISTRATION
Players need to report on the beach between 6-6.30pm on Tuesday
evening. The courts will be located near the Boat cafe.
The Club have
permission for one car to be on the Esplanade to help organisation. No other
cars should be parked on the Esplanade at any time.
Players can enter as many weeks as they like, although
obviously the more weeks you compete the better chance you have of a higher
ranking
LEVELS OF ENTRY
Teams can start in any series they choose but the:
-
A series is designed for
experienced Beach players who are aiming to improve their standard of play. They
may be planning to enter the VEBT English series and/or qualifying for the
Weymouth Beach Classic.
·
B series is
for players who have some experience
of playing volleyball but are looking for a more social evening
·
The C series is for beginners to the game.
Once teams have played more than one event in the league there
will be certain rules about what series they can compete in. These are:
Any team/player playing in series A and who has reached a semi
final stage cannot then take part in a B Series event in the same season (except
in exceptional circumstances)
If a team wins Series B they are then expected to compete in
Series A the following week. After that week they may return to Series B if they
wish.
MATCH ORGANISATION
Each Tuesday at 6.30pm, after entry has closed a format will be
devised which gives as much playing time as possible but allows enough time for
the final to be completed before dusk. This format is the sole responsibility of
the organisers. The organisers will take into account number of teams, time of
dusk and weather conditions
MEMBERSHIP
All players who compete in the Series will fill in a
registration form with Weymouth Beach Volleyball Club. Parents of players who
are Under 16 must complete a parental permission form
