Welcome to the Ripon VX Club website!
Ripon was once the largest VX Club of all and was certainly one of the most successful.
The club was hit hard by Covid but is in the process of rebuilding and we look forward to more success in the near future.
We are delighted to have a close relationship with Ripon Grammar School - the VX National Centre of Excellence. This was an initiative led by Helen Mackenzie. We train thursday evenings in the school sports hall.
Several of our players have gone on to compete internationally and/or to become part of the England VX squad
