Top Beach Volleyball Clubs for Kids in the UK

Beach volleyball is a great game to involve your children in. It’s not a common sport for children to want to participate in, but that makes it no less fantastic! To start with, it’s fun and sociable; your child will make new friends and be part of a community of players.  The game is physical, so they will improve their general fitness, but it will also teach them excellent life skills, such as strategy and quick-thinking problem-solving.

Finding a beach volleyball club in the UK may be more challenging than other more common sports, but it’s not impossible, and if you live near the coast, you’re more likely to find somewhere. However, if not, you could consider indoor volleyball, which uses a similar skillset.

So, if your child is showing signs that beach volleyball is for them, here are some of the top beach volleyball clubs for kids in the UK.

This club will train children for fun and introduce competition if your child wants to.
