Student Commission

Volleyball in Scottish Universities is characterised by large numbers of participants in clubs run by elected committees of enthusiastic student volunteers. University clubs are often supported by large numbers of oversees players, who provide a unique blend of international experience of volleyball – often from countries where the sport has a much higher profile than in Scotland. 

University volleyball clubs suffer from a unique problem within Scottish Volleyball – they usually have too many club members to be able to cope! Each October sees a huge influx of players to university clubs – of all abilities from complete beginner, to those with international experience.

In addition to operating within the constitution of the SV, Scottish Universities Volleyball is also one of 36 sports administered and supported by Scottish Student Sport (SSS) – the national organisation for staff and elected students involved in providing for sport and exercise within the higher education sector in Scotland.

The respective development coordinator administers the domestic and international representative programmes for Scottish Student Volleyball. This includes:

Scottish Student Leagues (BUCS Tier 1A & 2A)

Scottish Student Cup

Scottish College Finals

SSS Beach Championship
