Scottish Volleyball is proud to celebrate the successful conclusion of the 2024–25 Local League season, which brought together community clubs from across the country in a powerful demonstration of grassroots volleyball at its best.
Despite facing challenges such as hall closures and scheduling hurdles, local leagues thrived thanks to the commitment of players, volunteers, and local organisers. From school-aged teams to seasoned veterans, the season showcased the growth, talent, and passion that continue to fuel the sport across Scotland.
