Club Description

Having won Sport Swansea's Most Improved Club of the Year in 2013, our goal is to continue excelling, always ensuring that we provide our players with the best experiences. Since Volleyball is quite an international sport, we have a wonderfully diverse club, counting on over 20 nationalities. Our people are lovely, friendly and engaged, and they will surely make you feel welcomed and included from day one. 

Alumni

Regardless of your level of experience, we are confident SUVC is the place for you — all we expect is that you share our enthusiasm and interest in this wonderful sport!

There are three joining routes available for you (scroll down for more information):

BUCS Team

Looking to compete at a higher level?
We run structured training for our four competitive BUCS teams: Men’s 1st & 2nd and Women’s 1st & 2nd. These teams are aimed at players with prior volleyball experience who are ready to commit to a more serious level of play.

Training takes place once to twice a week, and teams compete in BUCS league matches most Wednesdays throughout the academic year. We also take part in the prestigious Welsh Varsity against Cardiff each spring — one of the biggest student sporting events in Wales.

Men’s teams train together, as do the women’s teams, to ensure consistent development, team cohesion, and a high-performance environment.

Intramural Team (Beginners) 

New to volleyball? Start here.
Our intramural league is the perfect place for beginners to get started. Whether you’ve never played before or have limited experience, this is a fun, friendly, and supportive environment to learn the game, meet new people, and develop your skills.

The sessions are coached and led by our Intramural Officer, who helps guide players through the basics and builds confidence through regular games and light training.

While the league is open to all, players in the intramural competition cannot compete in BUCS teams during the same season. However, it’s a fantastic pathway; many of our BUCS players began here before moving into more competitive play.

Development Squad (Men & Women)

Looking to level up? Join our Development Squad.
The Development Squad is designed for players with some volleyball experience who are working toward earning a place on our competitive BUCS teams. It’s perfect for those who aren’t quite BUCS-ready yet but are serious about developing their skills in a more focused environment.

Now in its second official year, the squad is run by our Development Officer and offers structured, intermediate-level training with an emphasis on technical improvement, game understanding, and team play.

For current intramural players, this is the next step.
