RHINS

About Rhinos

Rhinos Volleyball Club was formed from Cambridge University players and members of a local club called Hash House Harriers. Rhinos continues today drawing it members from the University and the Cambridge area.

Rhinos aims to compete at all levels. We enter weekend tournaments throughout the year and run our own to raise money or just for fun.

Rhinos is a mixed club and has member of all ages and abilities, so come along and try - the first session is free.

Indoor Season (September - April)

We have training every Tuesday (8:15pm - 10:15pm) and Sunday (usually 4pm - 6pm) at the Leys school sports center. The Tuesday session is mixed and is coached by one of the Rhinos players. The session is usually part training drills and part games (depending on the coach). The Sunday sessions are split between free training (exact format decided by whoever turns up), mens team training and womens team training. Please check the training schedule for details.

We usually go for a drink in The Panton Arms afterwards.

If you are interested in playing, come along to the training sessions, the first week is free. If you want to let us know you are coming or ask more about the training then please email us.

Summer Season (April - August)

During the summer we play outside on Tuesdays from about 7pm until dark on Parker's Piece and drink in the Free Press afterwards.

We also play in many of the outdoor events held in East Anglia and further a field. We are well known for our annual trip to Ostend to compete with the best in Europe.
