The Senior competition for men and women – under the banner NEVZA Beach England – will run first, from Friday 27th June until Sunday 29th June. 

There will then be a transitional day on Monday 30th June, before the Youth sections – NEVZA Youth Beach Championships – will be staged from Tuesday 1st July to Thursday 3rd July. 

Countries who will compete include hosts England, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden, with no charge for admission to watch the action from 12:30 on Friday 27th June. 

Event organiser Rob Payne, Volleyball England’s Strategic Manager for An Ace Service is urging local people to come along and enjoy a fun and fast-paced version of the sport, which is quickly growing in popularity in the UK. 

“Having players of contrasting ages involved across the full week will add an extra dimension to the tournament and will help to showcase beach volleyball at its best to the people of Yorkshire and beyond,” he said. 

“With both the Senior and Youth events being free to attend, we’d love to see people come down and watch some live beach volleyball, whether they’ve never seen the sport before or are keen followers of it.” 

The expansion of the event in 2025 follows a successful staging of the NEVZA Youth Beach Championships 2024, where all matches were live streamed on the Volleyball England YouTube Channel.  

It will once again be hosted in partnership with East Riding of Yorkshire Council, whose input helped ensure the first edition of the event ran smoothly. 

Councillor Nick Coultish, portfolio holder for culture, leisure and tourism at East Riding of Yorkshire Council said: “We are thrilled to welcome such a high profile, international event to East Yorkshire to showcase some of Europe’s elite junior volleyball players 

“Bringing this event to Bridlington will hopefully help to inspire a new generation of players and supporters, both in the local area and beyond, as well as providing a huge tourism boost to our local businesses.” 

Host club Skyball Beach Volleyball Club are looking forward to welcoming a raft of international players to the East Coast. 

 Co-founder Pete Makowski, who is also a Lead Coach at The Gorse Academies Trust, said: “This event is amazing for the beach volleyball community in our area.
