Do you ever envy those international volleyball players? We do. Their agility, strength and concentration never cease to amaze us.

It almost seems impossible to achieve what they can: being professional sports stars.  However Mr Rencin, being a good volleyball coach, always encourages and supports us. We are currently receiving training from the professional coaches: Mr Rencin and Mr Nigel Japp at the Bishop Douglas Sports Hall.  We are joined by a couple of girls from the Bishop Douglas School, and are also looking forward to train with some boys from Christ’s College!

Our goal, at the moment, is to play brilliantly at the London Youth Games 2008 and, with luck, win the volleyball tournament, representing the Barnet borough.  We also compete with other boroughs, for example the West London Borough Tournament.
