Volleyball Club
At Glasgow University Volleyball Club, we take great pride in our commitment to supporting all members, regardless of whether you have a passion for recreational volleyball, a drive to compete in BUCS, or simply seek some fun at our social events. Our club fosters inclusivity and extends a warm welcome to everyone, aiming to offer the finest student experience possible. Keep an eye on our social media channels for updates on drop-in sessions, social event details, and opportunities to get involved!
Performance
Our club's competitive division consists of two teams for both women and men. We actively participate in the BUCS Scottish 1A & 2A leagues and have a remarkable track record of achievements, thanks to our top-notch training sessions and positive club environment. Come along to tryouts at the start of each semester to meet our exceptional coaches and players and compete for a place on the court!
Training
We offer three weekly recreational training sessions, one of which is dedicated to development. This particular session is designed to cater to players who want to refine their technical volleyball skills. These sessions are not only a fantastic opportunity to forge new friendships but are also open to individuals of all skill levels, whether you're a beginner or an experienced player who prefers non-competitive play.
For those seeking a more competitive atmosphere, we hold two training sessions per week, for both men and women. Our dedicated head and assistant coaches put in tremendous effort to support the players and maintain the team's ongoing success.

Social
Come and join our amazing club for a ton of fun social activities! We've got everything from pub crawls, karaoke nights, and movie marathons to chilled-out games of volleyball in Kelvingrove Park when the weather's nice.
Wednesdays are all about Sports Night, where we have organised socials. And on Sundays, we kick back and relax with post-match hangouts. But that's not all! We also throw a fancy alumni ball once a year, and we even organise an epic week-long Tour abroad where we play volleyball and have an absolute blast.
Getting involved is super easy, and everyone is welcome in our inclusive and diverse community.
