No matter what ever your results are I hope that you all enjoy this season’s volleyball. Last season saw the European Volleyball Federation (CEV) impose on us that all NVL Clubs follow the correct procedures for International Transfer of players. This effectively means that annually any player competing in the NVL whose Federation of Origin is not England would need to follow this procedure and pay the appropriate fee. We were successful in negotiating a phased implementation of this with it only applying to Super 8 teams last season. However this season Division 1 Clubs must also now follow this new procedure.
