## What it does

This skill covers Dutch volleyball: Eredivisie, Topdivisie, Superdivisie and the lower tiers of the pyramid. Everything comes from the Nevobo (Nederlandse Volleybalbond) open API, so there are no API keys to manage. Under the hood it ships a `sports-skills` CLI and a Python SDK, plus reference files for endpoints and competition IDs.

Eight leagues across the top three tiers are pre-configured: `nevobo-eredivisie-heren`, `nevobo-eredivisie-dames`, four Topdivisie pools and two Superdivisie entries. For 1e/2e/3e Divisie, regional, youth and beach competitions (6,400+ poules), you discover IDs through `get_poules`. Never guess a club or competition ID — call `get_competitions` or `get_clubs` first.

One hard limit: Nevobo removes past-season poules and exports, so standings, schedules and results always cover the current season only. A `season` value for anything else returns a clear error. Matches without a date come back as `date: null`, cancelled ones as `status: "vervallen"`. Setup needs Python 3.10+; on an older default interpreter, install the package under a specific version instead.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add machina-sports/sports-skills --skill volleyball-data -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/volleyball-data/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/volleyball-data/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add machina-sports/sports-skills --skill volleyball-data -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/volleyball-data/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add machina-sports/sports-skills --skill volleyball-data -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/volleyball-data/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install machina-sports/sports-skills volleyball-data
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/volleyball-data/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add machina-sports/sports-skills --skill volleyball-data -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/machina-sports/sports-skills --path skills/volleyball-data
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/volleyball-data/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add machina-sports/sports-skills --skill volleyball-data -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/machina-sports/sports-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/volleyball-data/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- check the Eredivisie table for men and women
- see recent match results with set-by-set scores
- list upcoming fixtures for every LSV team
- find a club's organisatiecode by name
- explore which divisions exist in the Dutch pyramid

## Example prompts
- Show me the current Eredivisie volleyball standings for men and women
- What matches does LSV have coming up?
- Give me recent Topdivisie results for men's pool A

  Dutch volleyball data (Eredivisie, Topdivisie, Superdivisie, and the full Dutch pyramid) via the Nevobo API. Standings, schedules, results, clubs, tournaments, and news. Zero config, no API keys.

  Use when: user asks about Dutch volleyball, Eredivisie volleyball, Nevobo, volleyball standings, volleyball match results, volleyball schedules, or Dutch volleyball clubs.
  Don't use when: user asks about other sports — use football-data (soccer), nfl-data (NFL), nba-data (NBA), wnba-data (WNBA), nhl-data (NHL), mlb-data (MLB), golf-data (golf), cricket-data (cricket), cfb-data (college football), cbb-data (college basketball), tennis-data (tennis), or fastf1 (F1).

# 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:
```bash
which sports-skills || pip install sports-skills
```
If `pip install` fails (package not found or Python version error), install from GitHub:
```bash
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:
```bash
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:
```bash
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):
```python
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_id` uses a valid value from `references/competition-ids.md` — never guess.
- For club-specific commands, you have a valid Nevobo `club_id` (use `get_clubs` to find one — the `organisatiecode` field).
