Volleyball England Pick Bridlington for Senior Event in 2025

A junior volleyball competition held in Bridlington this summer, went so well that Volleyball England will now be bringing a senior event to the resort in 2025.

Volleyball England has announced that Bridlington will host a senior event in 2025.

The town played host to a junior event last summer, that went so well that it will be returning in June and will be joined by the NEVZA senior competition as well.

Piotr Makowski, co-founder of Bridlington's Skyball Beach Volleyball Club says it's great news for the town.

The NEVZA Beach England Championships will take place in June and feature both a junior and open age tournament.

Piotr hopes it will bring big players to the resort.

The confirmed dates for the Championships are Friday 27th June to Friday 4th July 2025.

The Senior competitions will run first, from Friday 27th June until Monday 30th June, while the Youth section will be staged from Monday 30th June until Friday 4th July.

Piotr says it's going to be a busy week.

Rob Payne, Volleyball England’s Strategic Manager for An Ace Service said:

“With this summer’s NEVZA event being so well received by member nations, we’re delighted to be given the honour of hosting an even bigger Championships, including Seniors in 2025,”

“Having players of contrasting ages involved across the full week will add an extra dimension to the tournament and will help to showcase beach volleyball at its best to the people of Yorkshire and beyond.”

The expansion of the event in Yorkshire follows a successful staging of the NEVZA Youth Beach Championships 2024, where all matches were live streamed on the Volleyball England YouTube Channel.

Prior to that, England had last hosted a NEVZA event in 2018 when the NEVZA U17 and U19 Championships (indoor) were contested at the National Volleyball Centre in Kettering.  

It will once again be hosted in partnership with Skyball Beach Volleyball Club and East Riding of Yorkshire Council, whose input helped ensure the first edition of the event ran smoothly.
