About
We are the University of Bradford Volleyball Club (uobvc)!
About the Club:
The aim of our club is to increase awareness and participation of the sport of Volleyball to new and returning students at the University, building a community of students who share enthusiasm for Volleyball. The club is open to all students, no matter your skill level or previous knowledge of the sport, due to the adaptability of training and sessions provided for students. We provide regular team and club bonding experiences such as BBQ’s, movie nights and nights out for all to take part in and to get to know other players in the club and other students from different clubs. The aim is to provide these activities on a fortnightly basis, as well as monthly social Volleyball tournaments open to all students at the university of Bradford as well as the wider community. We also aim to actively raise money for charities including the chosen RAG charities for the University.
Our Volleyball Club is comprised of 2 competitive BUCS teams, 2 Local league teams and our HEVO programme, which includes one of the only disability sports offered at the university as we will be running regular sitting volleyball sessions and hope to enter some competitions later in the year. Both our Men’s and Women’s BUCS teams are in their respective Northern BUCS division after previous years success and promotion by the teams. These teams have regular sessions delivered by qualified and Volleyball England registered coaches and are given further playing opportunities such as the Volleyball England Indoor Student Cup and the BUCS Beach Championships. Our local league teams provide a pathway from recreational volleyball to competitive teams and develop players at all levels of ability. They will be competing in the Men’s and Women’s Championship League of the Yorkshire Volleyball Associations local league system. These teams will receive coaching from a variety of experienced players, including qualified student coaches and our Higher Education Volleyball Officers (HEVO).
