London Spikers Volleyball Club. (LSVC)
Spikers started as "Spiker Studs" back in 1995 as a cute name to rhyme with our sisters in their volleyball club "Dynamo Dykes". The club began life as a casual drop in play session and has grown into a much liked fixture of London's Gay Lifestyle.
Spikers has a long traditional history of being a friendly diverse place for men from around the world. It is probably the most diverse group of sporting gay men in the country and its members are proud of the friendships and team work that this diversity inspires.
The club has players who range from Beginners, through to the Advanced London Premier League.
Our yearly activity program includes
- Indoor training & Competition in London League (Sept to May)
- Outdoor Recreation Play (May to September)
- Year round weekend Tournaments in Europe and beyond.
- Yearly entry to the European Championships (Euro-games) & 4 yearly entry to the Gay Games.
Spikers is gearing up to invite new members for the start of the next season in September and will be providing coached classes for Beginners & Intermediate ability players, as well as drop-in recreational play sessions. We also welcome very experienced players for our Premier League Advanced Team.

We can be found playing on two outdoor courts in Hyde Park. Located inland from Speakers corner, closest Tube is Marble Arch. It has a friendly picnic atmosphere, so feel free to bring food & drink to make your time comfortable.
