Questions

Good to know

Do I need to have played before?

No. We welcome complete beginners as well as experienced players. Tell us your level and we’ll point you to the right session.

How old do I need to be?

Players need to be 18 or over. If you’re under 18, you’re welcome to join us, but your parent or guardian must be present with you at all club activities — training, matches and events.

How do I get into the NVL squad?

Trials are currently closed, as the 2026/27 season has started. Do still get in touch at puvc2022@gmail.com if you’d like to be considered — we look at requests case by case.

What should I wear?

Comfortable sports kit and indoor court shoes with non-marking soles. Knee pads are recommended.

Can I come and watch first?

Of course. Home league matches are a great way to meet the club — see fixtures.
