What is the difference between regular teams and recreational teams?
The biggest difference between regular and recreational teams is that the recreational teams usually play volleyball once a week. This can be a home game or a practise, since both take place on Thursday. Sometimes there will be a second day on which these teams play volleyball, this is the case when the team has an away game on another day of the week. For recreational teams, the weekends are always free. Regular teams always have practise on Monday and sometimes on Wednesday (in case of Ladies 1 and Mens 1). Besides that, they also play home games on Thursday and away games usually on Saturday. This means that for regular teams, the weekends are not always free.
On which days do you have practise?
Regular teams train on Mondays and/or Wednesdays from 19.00 to 21.00 or from 21.00 to 23.00. Recreational teams train on Thursdays from 19.00 to 21.00 or from 21.00 to 23.00.
On which days do you play matches?
For both regular teams as or recreational teams, home matches are on Thursdays at 19.00 or at 21.00. Away matches can be on every other day of the week. However, for recreational teams this will never be during the weekend, but for regular teams away matches can take place during the weekend.

This is why we organise lots of events where members get the opportunity to get to know each other better. Below, you’ll find a selection of some of our greatest activities during the year:
Drinks in our pub Pardoen (Oude Haven), where each week, you’ll be assured of a very ‘gezellige’ night.
Tournaments, where teams get mixed so you get to know other members better. This is the optimal combination of volleyball and fun. You should definitely join our amazing night tournament in January!
The EV Gala, where you get the chance to see other members in an other daylight by seeing them in something else than just their sports clothes.
Beer cantus, seems clear enough. AD FUNDUM!
The EV weekend, the big closing event of the season where the gezelligheid reaches its highest point!
These events are highlights of the season where every member looks forward to!
