Volleyball was invented by the American William G Morgan in 1895 and became an official sport at the Tokyo Olympics in 1964. With over 260 million players, it is one of the top 3 most played sports in the world.

Volleyball has been played in BGS since its beginning in 1991. It can be a recreational or a competitive game; it's a real team sport which may explain its popularity amongst the gay and lesbian community.

You can play volleyball all year round (summer school holidays included) on a Tuesday evening ( 9.00pm to 11.00pm ). Each training session lasts 2 hours ; there is a professional trainer present. We start with a warm up, getting in shape and working on improving our technique. The second part of the training involves a game and concentrating on our tactics.

We have different levels of players from beginners to advanced but one thing we are sure of is a good atmosphere and a sporty attitude.

Friendly matches are played regularly between other gay Belgian teams ( Antwerp et Leuven ). What's more we take part in the annual 'Benelux Homocompetitie' where Belgian and Dutch players meet.

We play abroad too - every year we take part in international tournaments in Paris , Amsterdam , Hamburg and Barcelona as well as the beach volleyball tournament in Delft which involves many different levels. We went to the Gay Games in New York in 1994, Amsterdam in 1998 and Sydney in 2002. Every year we go to the Euro Games, which is the European equivalent of the Gay Games.

Every September we have our own international volleyball and badminton tournament.

Whether you are male or female, a top sports person or an amateur, gay or straight you are very welcome to join us !
