ENGLISH VOLLEYBALL ASSOCIATION LIMITED FRAMEWORK DOCUMENT of English Volleyball Association Ltd 1 1. INTRODUCTION Volleyball England is the brand name of the English Volleyball Association Limited (referred to in this Framework as the “Association”). The Association is recognised by FIVB, CEV, World ParaVolley, ParaVolley Europe, British Volleyball, UK Sport and Sport England as the National Governing Body for volleyball, beach volleyball and sitting volleyball in England. The Association is responsible for the development, promotion and delivery of the sport of volleyball, in all its disciplines, across England. This Framework document forms part of the constitution of the Association, and supplements the Association’s Memorandum and Articles of Association (“Articles”). This Framework has been introduced as a result of the comprehensive governance review that has been carried out by the Association to set the Association up for the next stage of its development, building upon recent Sport England audits which confirmed the Association’s status as a well-governed National Governing Body. The Articles detail the categories of membership of the Association, establishment of Associations, Committees, and Commissions, organisation of member meetings, the appointment of directors, the governance of the Association by the Executive Board and other matters. This Framework builds upon the Articles by providing further, more operational or administrative details relating to: membership of the Association, the mechanisms for becoming a member of the Association and the administration of membership; the benefits available to members of the Association; the, roles, structure and administration of the Regional Associations and Area Associations, Committees and Commissions; important policies that have application across the Association’s activities; the core sports technical rules; and the disciplinary regulations dealing with disputes and appeals with the sport or its administration.
