Regional weekend competition (Nevobo)
When you join a regional team you train twice a week and you automatically become a member of the Nevobo (Dutch Volleyball Association). In addition, you play a maximum of 22 matches a year, which are mainly played on Friday evenings and Saturdays. This competition starts in September and ends around April. If you don’t want to play matches you can also only become a training member with the regional teams.
Internal Mix competition
The Mix teams are women and men mixed. You train once a week and you also participate in an internal competition with your team. There are 10 matches played on Friday evenings that will take place in the sportscenter on campus, where you will play against other mixed teams from Harambee of an equal level. You can also only become a training member at the internal Mix Competition. You will join a Mix training once a week.
Regional Mix competition ( Nevobo)
These teams are also women and men mixed. You train once a week and matches are played on Wednesday or Thursday evenings, 9 evenings a year. You play against other teams in the region. This is different from the internal Mix competition where you only play against Harambee teams. We require that you have at least one year of volleyball experience. At Harambee we have two Mix Nevobo teams that are classified by level. A difference between Mix Nevobo and the regular Mix competition is the level, which is higher with the Mix Nevobo.
Beach
From April, the beach box at the UT will open again and then the beach season of Harambee will start again. You train once a week and play an internal beach competition on Thursday or Friday evening. Look for more information under the heading beach.
