London Series

About The Series

Our London Series is set to take the capital by storm this summer! We have events catering for all levels at our two fantastic venues in East London: Kidbrooke and Loxford Park.

We have 3 different event formats as part of our series. Our Slams, Friendlies and Social events are all part of the UKBT, so they count towards your national ranking. This means you must have a valid UKBT membership to play these.

Our Slams are UKBT 3* tournaments: they are serious, competitive one day events for intermediate players and above.

Our Friendlies are UKBT 2* tournaments: they are casual pairs events perfect for people who are still finding their feet in beach volleyball.

Our Socials are UKBT 1* tournaments. These are for mixed pairs and are great events for people looking to have a chilled out day playing beach with friends.

All of our formats count towards your Fireball London ranking. At the end of the season we are hosting three ‘showdown’ events, where we invite the players with the most points across the series to do battle and see who comes out on top! We will have cash and stash prizes on offer for the winners of these, so make sure you book in to all our Fireball events in order to qualify!

FAQs

Our Social, Slam and Friendlies Series are all part of the UKBT.

We will clearly label the UKBT events on the registration page. You can get your UKBT membership and check the UKBT calendar here.

You should expect to arrive at the venue around 9am for a 9:30am start; it may be that you have a later start. You and your partner will receive an email either the day before or 2 days before the tournament with a full schedule of the games. The events normally finish around 6pm.

Whatever you want! We recommend you bring:

  • Comfortable sports clothes
  • Tracksuit/hoody & waterproof jacket or dryrobe
  • Plenty of food & drink
  • Sun cream

Yes! We are 100% committed to making our London Series events friendly, warm, welcoming events for everyone. If you don’t have a great day, we will give you a refund.

Our Slams are for players with at least 2-3 years of beach volleyball experience (or lots of indoor experience). All our other events are open to beginners (who are really welcome!)

We would love to be your first ever beach tournament!

Our Formats

Our Slam events are for players that have a few years of beach experience or are looking to challenge themselves. These are UKBT 3* tournaments and therefore count towards your national rankings. We play pool play, followed by elimination rounds. What’s great about our events is that we offer EVERYONE the same number of games, as we always play off for every position.

Our Slam Showdown is 2nd September.

These are relaxed, chilled out pairs events, perfect for players who haven’t been playiong for too long. We ask that anyone regularly playing UKBT 4* tournaments plays with a junior or a weaker partner for these events. They should be fun, relaxed events where everyone has a chance of doing well.

Our friendlies showdown event is Saturday 9th September.

These are UKBT 1* mixed events. You enter as a mixed pair and play out across the day!

Our format is a little different for these than most other organisers. We use the king of the court format for our pool play in the morning. This is fun, fast paced and something a bit different. Make sure you have a good warm up!

We then play single elimination and play-offs. Something special about our events is that we guarantee everyone the same number of games, as we always play off for every place. So great value for money and a full day of volleyball for everyone!

Our Socials Showdown is Sunday 3rd September.
