The S’PORT (Women) are Finalists

Come and support the S’PORT Women 💙🧡

“Congratulations again for reaching the Cup Finals.

Yesterday we softly launched the ticket sales through a web article and are already seeing lots of tickets being purchased, so we don’t want you to miss out.

This year we will be orientating both tiered seating banks towards your court and are selling allocated seats. 56 of the 96 have already sold. There will be the opportunity to purchase floor seats at the ends of the court, but they are on a 1st come, 1st served basis.

Here is the link for the tickets on the Saturday and Sunday:https://www.eventbrite.com/…/volleyball-england-cup…

Any questions please get in touch

Kind regards

Moor Than A Club

A natural choice of name with the Club, Heaton Moor – but also FC Barcelona that Owner, Adrian Stores used to work for (The motto Mes Que Un Club is a Catalan phrase and it means ‘more than a club‘)

Make sure you remember to put in your diary!

Barnsley cut ties

A few days after a new sponsorship agreement at Barnsley Football Club was realized, HEX.com, a crypto currency company, was allegedly found to have posted homophobic social media comments. Not something applauded or tolerated in this day and age.

We are advised that “Brent Morrisey, the owner of HEX.com made a statement saying he did not condone the actions of the 2 members of the company and said the members where not associated with the sponsorship deal however he also stated “charitable donations in the thousands of pounds have already been made to the Barnsley food bank by members of the HEX community in the past few days and continue to be made in solidarity between the communities”. So that’s the corporate take but the Club weighed up the implications and decided to cut ties.

Within 7 days after the post the Club decided to cancel the sponsorship with immediate effect. In a statement they said they “valued their fans and core beliefs above everything else”. Well done Barnsley.

The Barnsley LGBTQ+ group were happy with the decision and the Club’s stance.

Discrimination of any sort is tackled head on quite rightly, and even in our own sports enterprise a key consideration.

Some notworthy organisations worth following includes:

Kick It Out

Women In Football

Council of Europe

Out On The Fields

UK Parliament

Stonewall

PT: ACH

We are delighted to announce that Stockport Volleyball Club, “the S’PORT” has agreed to extend and retain the services of our first ever professional PT. He has kept members fitter, stronger and conditioned throughout the pandemic. We salute you Adam Heywood of @achperformance. He has become a firm favourite every Thursday for the S’PORT ZOOM Fitness sessions. We have also been blessed by other sessions run by NVL Coach Ant, Ruth and Marion.

For those that don’t know Adam has been a reliable supporter since we moved NVL fixtures to Brinnington Park and was an instant hit with his knowledge and enthusiasm. His professional routines have been used by Oldham Rugby League and Stockport County Football Club. Coaches will work with this valuable PT resource so we #return2play bigger and better. 💙🧡💪💪
