Beach volleyball funding scheme launches
Volleyball England has opened the new 2012 Beach Volleyball Capital Investment Initiative in a bid to increase the number participants and spectators in beach sports next year.
Support has been made available through Sport England and will see £400,000 spent over a three-year period within Volleyball England's existing Go Spike campaign.
The national governing body is aiming to construct 10 permanent multi-court beach centres by 2013, which will be partner-funded and part of a legacy programme for beach volleyball.
Volleyball England chief executive Lisa Wainwright said: "We are excited about the opportunities to develop further facilities in 2012, enabling more people to experience our sport.
"The Beach Volleyball Capital Investment Initiative provides an opportunity to introduce exciting sports into communities, promoting healthy lifestyles and supporting local economy."
