Our Teams – Play at Your Level:
Whether you’re aiming for high-level competition or just want to pick up a new hobby, we’ve got a team for you:
• Men’s BUCS Teams: Competing in the South-Western league, our First Team play in Tier 1 and our Second Team in Tier 2. Both teams also battle it out in the Hampshire Volleyball Association Grand Prix, with the Firsts in Div.1 and the Seconds in Div.2.
• Women’s BUCS Teams: Just like the men, our Women’s teams compete at high levels, with our Firsts in Tier 1 and Seconds in Tier 2. They also take part in the Hampshire Volleyball Association Grand Prix, showcasing their skills in the ladies division.
Student Cup – A National Showdown:
One of the most exciting highlights of the volleyball calendar is the Volleyball England Student Cup. This prestigious knockout competition sees university teams from all over the country competing for national glory. Last season, our Men’s 1st team made an impressive run, finishing 8th in the nation—a testament to our players hard work, dedication and skill. But that’s not all; our Men’s 2nd and Women’s 1st teams also delivered strong performances, representing SUVC with pride and passion.
This year, we’re aiming even higher. With the addition of our Women’s 2nd team joining the competition for the first time, we’re excited to see what new heights we can reach. The Student Cup is not just about competition; it’s about pushing ourselves, building team spirit, and showcasing the best of what SUVC has to offer.
Development & Recreational Teams – Grow with Us:
• Development Teams (or as we call them, our FAWNS): If you’re rekindling an old love for volleyball or relatively new to the sport, our FAWNS are the perfect fit for you. This team is all about growth and development, helping players dramatically improve their skills with the goal of someday joining our competitive BUCS teams. Our FAWNS also get a taste of official matches by competing in the Hampshire Volleyball Association’s mixed competition, where both men and women team up to enjoy the thrill of the game in a fun, supportive environment.
• Recreational Team: Looking for a weekly dose of fun? Our Recreational Team is where you can learn the basics, improve your skills, and most importantly, enjoy the game without the pressure of competition.
Socials & Highlights:
Our club isn’t just about volleyball; we know how to have fun off the court too! From regular socials to our highlight of the year – the Beach Volleyball Tour in Portugal during the Easter Break – we’re all about creating memories that will last a lifetime.
