RESPECT Our facilitiesRespect and take care of our facilities. Maintenance almost entirely relies on volunteers, and that includes YOU.
Do not share key codes, they are strictly for members only. Clear up litter (yours and others), ALWAYS RAKE THE COURTS AFTER YOU FINISH, put the rakes in their shed safely. Consider saying yes sometimes, when we ask for volunteers to help with projects/tasks Make sure you lock up all doors and gates areas if you are the last to leave. Speak up and remind other users too if needed. |
Respect each otherBehave respectfully towards each other.
Treat all participants, parents, guardians, coaches, referees, event organisers, club officials and volunteers with respect and courtesy, regardless of their gender, sexual orientation, ability, cultural background or religion. Refrain from using foul language, offensive behaviour, or engaging in any form of harassment or violence. Use sportsmanship and fair play at all times, understanding that the spirit of the game is built on respect and cooperation. Play within the rules and publicly respect coaches, referees and other officials and their decisions. Be punctual and inform your coach or event organiser timely if you are going to be absent or late. Players must pay any fees for membership, training or events promptly. |

Our coachesCoaches, assistant coaches, club officials and volunteers are important club role models in fostering an inclusive, safe and positive atmosphere. They are expected to:
Hold the appropriate, valid qualifications and insurance cover Abide by the guidance provided by our club and governing bodies Volleyball Wales and Volleyball England, including their safeguarding policies for Children, young people and vulnerable adults. Consistently show high standards of behaviour and use appropriate language at all times. Act in a morally responsible manner with everyone, and particularly with young people. Develop an appropriate working relationship with players, based on mutual trust and respect. Always put the well-being and safety of players before the development of performance. Encourage fair play and good sportsmanship, valuing effort and performance, not just match results. Do not consume alcohol whilst working, or whilst in the presence of young people. Never condone bad behaviour in others either. |
Please take Notice
We have had notice of a Noise complaint made against the Beach Volleyball Centre.
Now I am sure most of you will want to comment and I ask you ALL to refrain from doing that PLEASE.
What we must do is remember that we are situated withing a highly populated residential area and have had over 10 years positive support from the residents and users of the “Public Park”.
With this in mind we have decided that we will be restricting “Amplified” music at the Beach Centre moving forward especially during Weekend Scheduled Events not I am aware that this may not please everyone, but as a Club and due to our location we have to consider ALL aspects and also the aspect of added pressure the Management has to deal with in the back ground.
So Please take the time to consider all those involved we are a community after all and the whole community has a voice, and we are hear to listen.
So moving forward please remember
NO Load music to be played – if you bring your own Bluetooth speaker we ask you to not use it or if you do keep it at a level that does NOT disturb others
If asked to lower the volume or turn off please “Respect these wishes”
Please keep shouting to a minimum (if at all) and under NO Circumstances will foul language be tolerated
When leaving or arriving at the Beach Centre “Please” do it quietly
Yours on Behalf of
Carl Harwood & Michael Constantinou
