Volley 123 is Volleyball England's national club accreditation programme, designed to recognise and reward volleyball clubs with junior sections, that stand apart from the rest in terms of good practice. Volley 123 recognises that clubs have one of the most important roles in volleyball development, ensuring Volleyball England works together with clubs to get more young people into the game and offer a quality experience for players of all ages and abilities.

Volley 123 has 3 levels of accreditation: Volley 1, Volley 2 and Volley 3. To view the criteria and guidelines for each, please visit the Volleyball England website.

Volley 1: Volleyball England has worked with Sport England to integrate Volley 1 accreditation with the Sport England Clubmark scheme, the only national cross sports quality accreditation scheme for clubs with junior sections. It is built around a set of core criteria (Club Management, Playing Programme, Duty of Care and Knowing Your Club & its Community) to ensure that accredited clubs operate to a set of consistent, accepted and adopted minimum operating standards.

Volley 2 and Volley 3 are about demonstrating further quality across the four key areas required by Clubmark and with each award there is an increase in expectation. By the time your club has reached Volley 3 it will be a fully-fledged, self-sustaining club that is a major part of its local community.
