NEW PARTNERSHIP AGREEMENT

In 2014 Bishop Sports and Leisure secured the manufacturing, sales and distribution rights for an exciting new sports net product from The Ruth Nicholls Volleyball Foundation. The ‘Multi-Sport Base’ supports four different sports – sitting volleyball, mini-tennis, badminton and junior volleyball and was developed by The Ruth Nicholls Foundation .

Volleyball England has now partnered with Bishop Sports and Leisure to package the multi-sport base with official Volleyball England sitting volleyball resources to assist schools in delivering sitting volleyball. As part of this initiative, The Ruth Nicholls Volleyball Foundation has generously donated 10 multi-sport bases to Volleyball England to help with the promotion of the product and the sport of sitting volleyball.

Chief Executive of Volleyball England said of the relationships: “We are delighted to have Bishop Sports and Leisure as a licensee and supporting our commercial activities. As one of the largest suppliers of sports equipment to schools, Bishop Sports and Leisure will be a great partner to assist us to get more schools and teachers providing volleyball and more students playing volleyball.
