Competitive Mixed Teams: We have 1 competitive mixed team. The 1st Mixed team consists of players who also play in the competitive Women’s and Men’s teams (hence no explicit tryouts for this team) and competes in the London-based LUSL Division 1 league. 

Social Team: The Social Team is for everyone who wants to learn how to play volleyball or who doesn’t want to compete. There are no tryouts for the social team; everyone regardless of level and experience can join. The Social Team has a weekly coached training session on Fri. 9-1030am. While everyone is always welcome to join the trainings, there is no expectation in going on a weekly basis (or at all). Social members have access to all socials and parties, the weekly social team training sessions and to the highlight of the year… the end of year beach volleyball trip to Portugal!!!
