Training and competition

Women’s volleyball training runs in a structured, supportive environment geared towards improving individual and team performance. Sessions are designed to build technique, teamwork, and competitive mindset.

Teams compete weekly in BUCS fixtures, with matches on Wednesdays during the season.

You’ll train and compete within a proven winning programme. The squad was crowned Western Conference Cup Champions in 2023/24, 2024/25 and 2025/26 and UWE Volleyball has also been recognised as Best Sports Club for three consecutive years (2023, 2024 and 2025) – a reflection of both on-court success and an exceptional athlete experience.
