We appreciate that you probably already load your match videos to your own club YouTube channel, and it will be duplicate effort to also upload them to the MVL channel.
We therefore thought it might be easier to just add a link to your existing video to a playlist on the MVL channel.
If you are interested in doing so, please use this FORM to send the URL of your videos.
Please feel free send the link to any other matches earlier this season so they can also be added.
Thanks!
We are pleased to announce the launch of the MVL YouTube Channel!
The idea is to create a centralised channel where any match videos taken by MVL teams can be uploaded and shared with the wider MVL community.
If you are interested in uploading your videos, then please use the form below to request editor access to the channel.
Please only register one editor per team.

A couple of other points:
Just a reminder that insurance coverage is mandatory for all volleyball clubs and their members. Proper insurance ensures the safety and protection of players, coaches, officials, and the club itself in the event of accidents, injuries, or unforeseen incidents.
If you have not already arranged your insurance, please can you look to do so as soon as possible.
A Remembrance gathering for Alan Bell with take place on Friday 19th September 6.30pm onwards at the Cheshire County Sports Club.
Alan’s wife Sue is providing some catering and needs to know roughly how many will be there, so please could you let Andy Fuller know if you plan to attend.
Due to the recent sad passing of Alan, and also Raivo deciding to take a step back, there are therefore a couple of open positions on the MVL committee that we are keen to fill as soon as possible.
This is a great opportunity to support the the league, and help drive it to future success and expansion!
Please see the role descriptions below for more details of what these roles entail.
Although they may initially look a little daunting, please do not be put off! The rest of the committee will welcome you and give you all the help and support you need!
If you are interested in either role please make contact with Andy Fuller (07931 791036).
Many of you will be aware of the sad and recent loss of Alan Bell, head coach and founder of Wirral Volleyball Club. It was unexpected and came as a great shock to us all at the club. Alan was loved by many I feel we should start this letter by saying how much he will be missed.
For those who don’t know, Alan started Wirral Volleyball Club over 30 years ago as a not-for profit organisation to provide, in his own words, “a community sports club for girls aged between 13 and 18 to offer weekly training sessions and the opportunity to play in local leagues and national age group competitions.”
Alan was proud of how well all his young players have done this season, with the U15 placing 5th in the VE U15 Gold Cup, the U16 being VE U16 Silver Cup Winners and the U18 placing 6th in the VE U18 Silver Cup. He had high hopes for next season.
Alan’s dedication and commitment to volleyball were second to none and the youth development of volleyball was his passion. He was a driver of junior volleyball development in the North West and as such we, and his family, feel that it would be fitting for us to do all we can to keep his club, Wirral Volleyball Club, alive.
With this in mind, we are looking to hold a meeting of parents and players. The meeting is open to anyone who is interested in playing, be that continuing to play or interested in starting. We also ask the parents of players to please attend. In order for the club to continue there will be roles to fill and help needed and we would be keen to hear of any ideas or suggestions. Andy Fuller, Chairman of the Merseyside Volleyball League, was a friend and colleague of Alan and has very kindly offered to run the meeting.
The aim will be to try to identify a path forward, together with the names of players who would wish to train and parents who may be willing to provide some initial support. We very much hope for your support and to see you on the 24th June.
If in the mean time you have any questions which need to be asked prior to the meeting, or if you will be unable to attend but wish to be a part of the future of the club, please don’t hesitate to contact Andy on afuller704@gmail.com.
It was great to see so many clubs from the league and beyond turning up to play some fantastic volleyball and I’m grateful to be part of such an amazing community.
Looking forward to the upcoming season and hope to see you all at the Des Jeffers later this year.

What an amazing day it was!!!
Our first Brian Kendall Juniors volleyball tournament was even more than I had expected.
All of the juniors left their heart on the court, fighting for every point. Loud cheering from the parents and smile on everyone’s face has assured me that we will come back next year even bigger and stronger!! I would like to thank everyone who helped and attended, the players, the parents and the coaches!!!
Thanks
Dagmara
