Hello from Scotland

    A big hello and Happy New Year from bonny Scotland.


    Loving the videos great to see some world class volleyball, not much volleyball on TV in this part of the world.


    Cheers


    Barry

    how nice to see someone from Scotland here.welcome to the forum :win:
    in addition to Nastja's question ı would like to ask a question.
    why do you think volleyball isn't so popular in Scotland or England?and how did you get interested in volleyball?
    ı hope you enjoy here.

    Hi Barry and Everyone.


    I am also from Scotland and a friend of Barry. Barry told me about this site and I love it!


    I play for Martinus in Holland at the moment, the same team that the Dela Martinus girls play for so I am lucky to see them often :)


    Happy new year everyone!

    In my opinion it is because of the lack of the tradition. It is one of the main reasons. Great Britain doesn't have traditions at team sports (of course except of football, rugby, field hockey which are typical British sports), so British fans are not interested in this much and their volleyball, handball or basketball NT are very weak.


    By the way, it is very nice to see somebody from British Isles on this forum. :wavy:

    I found the site while watching a volleyball clip on youtube and the web address was in the bottom right of the footage so decided to look it up, and very glad I did.

    To a degree Konrad is right in what he says, we have no history in team sports apart from football, rugby as these are the sports that are taught to us at school and read about in the papers, easily accessible to watch on TV.


    But with the Olympics coming to London in 2012 a lot of money is now being put into “minority sports” and has led to the revival of a Great Britain’s Volleyball Squads, who are now in full time training programme (for the first time ever) for the Olympics in 2012.


    Like most people that play volleyball in Scotland I was introduced to the game by my PE teacher at school who played, and he ran a lunch time session so I went along and 12 years later I still love the sport.


    If you want to learn a bit more about Scottish Volleyball have a look at www.scottishvolleyball.org and for English Volleyball www.volleyballengland.org

    Thanks, Baz. It is very interesting what you have written above.

    Still can't believe that you joined a forum guys :thumbup: I don't know exaclty, but maybe you are the first serious players writing here.


    Is there a way to watch your games on satellites or download from the net? Can you post some multimedia here on the forum?
