Volleyball

WELCOME TO SUVC!

If you are interested in playing Volleyball, you are now in the right place.

Here is a summary of all the information you may need. Feel free to contact us if you have any questions!

Club Description

Having won Sport Swansea's Most Improved Club of the Year in 2013, it is our goal to keep on excelling, always ensuring we provide our players with the greatest experiences. Since Volleyball is quite an international sport, we have a wonderfully diverse club, counting on over 10 nationalities. Our people are lovely, friendly and engaged and they will surely make you feel welcomed and included from day one.

Regardless of your level of experience, we are confident SUVC is the place for you —all we simply expect is that you share our enthusiasm and interest for this wonderful sport!—. There are two joining routes available for you (scroll down for more information):

If you have never played before, you are welcome to our open sessions. They are dedicated to beginners, so that you will get to play casually, meet people and receive some coaching.

If you are an experienced athlete (normally 1-2 years of experience minimum), we have team training sessions for our two BUCS teams. They train twice a week and then compete on exciting matches every Wednesday all throughout the year, including the well-known Welsh Varsity against Cardiff in April-May.

Social

Like any other Sports Club at Swansea University, SUVC has a strong Social element, ranging from nights out on Wind Street to non-alcoholic meet-ups (friendly club tournaments, bowling, laser zone, meals...). Our social events are open to everyone (members and non-members) alike and will be broadly advertised throughout the year on all different kinds of social media —so connect and stay in touch!—.

This year, we are proudly sponsored by Las Iguanas. According to our Club members, definitely one of the greatest restaurants in Swansea! Chill and cozy atmosphere, delicious South American food, an extensive cocktail menu and good music, what else could we ask for? Check out their webpage here.
