WELCOME TO SUVC!
If you are interested in playing Volleyball, you've come to 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 20 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 expect is that you share our enthusiasm and interest in 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 intramural competition. This is a great opportunity to meet new people and receive some coaching, along with giving you the chance to compete. This is also open to players with prior experience, although if you participant in this league you are unable to compete in our BUCS teams. This is a great pathway to progress your skills and be invited to play in our BUCS teams!
- If you have some experience, we have team training sessions for our 4 BUCS teams. This includes Men's 1st and 2nd team and Women's 1st and 2nd team. Training is once a week and we also compete in BUCS matches most Wednesdays all throughout the year! We also participate in the well-known Welsh Varsity against Cardiff in April-May. Both Mens teams train during the same session, this is the same for both womens teams.
