JOIN DEEP DISH AT THE UKBT CLUB CHAMPIONSHIPS 2026

The biggest weekend in club UK beach volleyball is back!


On 6–7 June 2026, clubs from across the country will head to Sandbanks Beach for the UKBT Club Championships, a weekend packed with competition, club pride, incredible energy, and unforgettable moments on the sand.


And once again, Deep Dish is going all in, sending squads from all three clubs:


  • Deep Dish Crystal Palace

  • Deep Dish Bournemouth

  • Deep Dish St Albans




SO WHAT IS THE UKBT CLUB CHAMPIONSHIPS?

The UKBT Club Championships is one of the most exciting events on the UK beach volleyball calendar, bringing together hundreds of players from around 20 clubs all over the UK.


Across one action-packed weekend, clubs battle it out for the national title through multiple divisions and tournaments, with every team contributing valuable points towards the overall club standings. Every athlete plays a part in the final result.


But Club Champs is about more than results. It's about representing your Deep Dish club alongside teammates, coaches, and friends. It’s the atmosphere between matches. The packed sidelines. The early morning coffees, sunset games, music, celebrations, and the feeling of being part of something bigger than just one tournament.


Whether you’re an experienced UKBT player chasing medals or stepping into your first major beach volleyball event, Club Champs is for everyone as it has multiple divisions:


  • Championship Division (single gender): Advanced & Elite players

  • Trophy Division (single gender & mixed): Intermediate & Advanced players

  • Under 18 (single gender)
