White Eagles Volleyball Club (WEVC) was formed in 1976 by members of the local Polish scout group and was based around the Polish community based in Balham. The club's success and friendly atmosphere now draws players from all nationalities and ethnic groups.
The club is based in South West London with training sessions taking in Balham, Battersea and Tooting, but this doesn't mean that you must live in the area to join. However, it does mean that training sessions and many of the club's activities are based in the borough.
WEVC went from a single men's team to a men's and a ladies' team within a few years of existence. After a slight blip in the 1990's, the club now comprises two men's , three ladies ' and a number of junior teams. All of the senior teams play in the London Volleyball League whilst the seniors and the juniors are represented in the National Cups. We also send teams to many of the summer tournaments both nationally and internationally.
The
Club is focused on developing players and has managed successfully to
bring several juniors up to standards for the England squads and
has two current GB players as well as several senior players who also have joined top National League teams.
We offer opportunities for people to become involved in playing, coaching, refereeing and running a vibrant and growing club that has teams for men and women, beginners and experienced players alike.
