At the University of Bath Volleyball Club, we're proud to support seven outstanding performance teams! Our lineup includes the Women's First (W1), Second (W2), and Third (W3) teams, as well as the Men's First (M1), Second (M2), Third (M3), and Fourth (M4) teams. Both of our First Teams compete in the highly competitive Western League of BUCS, the UK University competition. Our M1s, M2s, and W2s showcase their talents in the Southwest Volleyball League, while our W3s, M3s, and M4s make their mark in the local Bristol League. We're committed to excellence, offering regular team training, position-specific sessions, and strength and conditioning programs with our fantastic, hard-working coaches. And of course, every year, we eagerly look forward to the thrill of competing in Varsity against Cardiff Met.

But that's not all—they also delivered a phenomenal performance at the annual Student Cup, achieving massive wins against some of the best volleyball teams in the country.
