Install
Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.
npx skills add https://github.com/machina-sports/sports-skills --skill volleyball-data- 01
Install
Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.
- 02
Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads volleyball-data automatically when relevant.
- 03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.
SKILL.md
The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.
Volleyball Data (Nevobo — Dutch Volleyball)
Before writing queries, consult references/api-reference.md for endpoints, ID conventions, and data shapes.
Setup
Before first use, check if the CLI is available:
which sports-skills || pip install sports-skills
If pip install fails (package not found or Python version error), install from GitHub:
pip install git+https://github.com/machina-sports/sports-skills.git
The package requires Python 3.10+. If your default Python is older, use a specific version:
python3 --version # check version
# If < 3.10, try: python3.12 -m pip install sports-skills
# On macOS with Homebrew: /opt/homebrew/bin/python3.12 -m pip install sports-skills
No API keys required. All data comes from the Nevobo (Nederlandse Volleybalbond) open API.
Quick Start
Prefer the CLI — it avoids Python import path issues:
sports-skills volleyball get_competitions
sports-skills volleyball get_standings --competition_id=nevobo-eredivisie-heren
sports-skills volleyball get_results --competition_id=nevobo-eredivisie-dames
sports-skills volleyball get_schedule --competition_id=nevobo-topdivisie-heren-a
Python SDK (alternative):
from sports_skills import volleyball
standings = volleyball.get_standings(competition_id="nevobo-eredivisie-heren")
results = volleyball.get_results(competition_id="nevobo-eredivisie-dames")
CRITICAL: Before Any Query
CRITICAL: Before calling any data endpoint, verify:
- The
competition_iduses a valid value fromreferences/competition-ids.md— never guess. - For club-specific commands, you have a valid Nevobo
club_id(useget_clubsto find one — theorganisatiecodefield). - Do NOT guess club IDs or competition IDs. Use
get_competitionsorget_clubsto discover them.
The competition_id Parameter
8 leagues across the top 3 tiers of Dutch volleyball are pre-configured. The competition_id follows the pattern nevobo-<league>-<gender>[-<pool>]:
- Eredivisie (Tier 1, 8 teams):
nevobo-eredivisie-heren,nevobo-eredivisie-dames - Topdivisie (Tier 2, 10 teams/pool):
nevobo-topdivisie-heren-a,nevobo-topdivisie-heren-b,nevobo-topdivisie-dames-a,nevobo-topdivisie-dames-b - Superdivisie (Tier 3, 10 teams):
nevobo-superdivisie-heren,nevobo-superdivisie-dames
For lower divisions (1e/2e/3e Divisie, regional, youth, beach — 6,400+ poules), use get_poules to discover them.
See references/competition-ids.md for the full reference with team counts and the Dutch volleyball pyramid.
Commands
| Command | Description |
|---|---|
get_competitions | List all available competitions and leagues |
get_standings | League table (rank, team, matches, points) |
get_schedule | Upcoming matches (teams, venue, date) |
get_results | Match results (score, set-by-set scores) |
get_clubs | List volleyball clubs (name, city, province) |
get_club_schedule | Club's upcoming matches across all teams |
get_club_results | Club's results across all teams |
get_poules | Browse Nevobo poules (for lower divisions discovery) |
get_tournaments | Tournament calendar |
get_news | Federation news |
See references/api-reference.md for full parameter lists and return shapes.
Current season only. Nevobo removes past-season poules and exports, so get_standings, get_schedule and get_results always cover the current season. Their optional season ("2026-2027" or 2026) returns a clear error for any other season. Matches without a date yet have date: null; cancelled matches carry status: "vervallen".
Examples
Example 1: Eredivisie standings User says: "What are the current Dutch volleyball standings?" Actions:
- Call
get_standings(competition_id="nevobo-eredivisie-heren")for men - Call
get_standings(competition_id="nevobo-eredivisie-dames")for women Result: League tables with rank, team name, matches played, and points
Example 2: Recent match results User says: "Show me recent Eredivisie volleyball results" Actions:
- Call
get_results(competition_id="nevobo-eredivisie-heren")Result: Match results with home/away teams, match score (e.g. "3-1"), and set scores (e.g. ["25-21", "25-18", "21-25", "25-20"])
Example 3: Club schedule User says: "What matches does LSV have coming up?" Actions:
- Call
get_clubs(limit=10)and find LSV's organisatiecode (CKL5C67) - Call
get_club_schedule(club_id="CKL5C67")Result: Upcoming matches for all of LSV's teams with venues and dates
Example 4: Second tier standings User says: "Show me the Topdivisie standings" Actions:
- Call
get_standings(competition_id="nevobo-topdivisie-heren-a")for men pool A - Call

If a command is not listed in the Commands table above, it does not exist.
Error Handling
When a command fails, do not surface raw errors to the user. Instead:
- Catch silently and try alternatives
- If a club name is given instead of ID, use
get_clubsto find theorganisatiecodefirst - If a competition_id returns no data, use
get_competitionsto verify available leagues - Only report failure with a clean message after exhausting alternatives
Troubleshooting
Error: sports-skills command not found
Cause: Package not installed
Solution: Run pip install sports-skills. If not on PyPI, install from GitHub: pip install git+https://github.com/machina-sports/sports-skills.git
Error: Standings returns empty list
Cause: The competition's regular season phase may have ended, or the season hasn't started yet
Solution: Use get_results to check recent results, or get_poules to discover current active poule paths
Error: Schedule returns 0 matches Cause: The competition phase has completed and no more matches are scheduled for that poule Solution: This is expected between season phases. Check other leagues (Topdivisie/Superdivisie may still be active)
Error: Club schedule/results returns error
Cause: The club_id may be incorrect
Solution: Use get_clubs to find valid club IDs (the organisatiecode field, e.g. "CKL5C67")
Error: Connection errors or timeouts Cause: The Nevobo API may be temporarily unavailable Solution: Wait a moment and retry. The API is public and unauthenticated but may have brief outages
