Scottish Volleyball has announced a comprehensive update to its competition rules, bringing in a series of changes to age categories, play-off formats, uniforms, and administrative procedures
Scotland’s young beach athletes made a big impression this summer at the SCA Zonal U17 and U19 Beach Volleyball Championships, coming away with silver medals in both boys’ age groups and securing Main Draw qualification for the 2026 CEV U18 and U20 European Beach Championships.
In true Scottish fashion, Sunday at the SCA Zonal Tour in Ayr delivered every season in a single afternoon: sunshine, showers, and all. But the drama on court outshone the weather, as the competition came to a thrilling close with six semi-finals, four medal matches, and a clean sweep of podium finishes for the host nation.
Scottish Volleyball is pleased to announce the launch of its 2025–26 programme of Development Coach Award courses for both Indoor and Beach Volleyball. With a range of dates confirmed across Scotland and financial support available through sportscotland and Scottish Volleyball, this season presents a valuable opportunity for new and aspiring coaches to begin their coaching journey.
Scottish Volleyball is delighted to welcome Renfrewshire Volleyball Club to our growing volleyball community!
Scottish Volleyball is pleased to unveil a refreshed structure for the Tartan Talent Pathway, marking the beginning of a new two-year cycle for our pathway athletes and National Team coaching appointments.
While the shape of the pathway remains consistent, the revised structure spreads sessions more evenly across the indoor season. This change is designed to provide more consistent development opportunities for over 150 athletes involved in the pathway, enabling them to train more regularly with peers at similar stages of development.
The Scotland Senior Men’s National Team finished second at the 2025 CEV SCA Championships in San Marino, securing a silver medal after three competitive matches across the weekend.
Scottish Volleyball are delighted to announce the appointment of Lorna McAvoy as our new Community Development Officer. Lorna was selected as the successful candidate from a very competitive process and started in her new role on Monday 2nd June.
Scotland is set to make waves on the international beach volleyball stage this summer as it prepares to host a leg of the 2025 SCA (Small Countries Association) Beach Volleyball Zonal Tour. The tournament, scheduled from the 18th to the 20th of July, will be held on the inland courts at Kyle Academy in Ayr, marking a major milestone in Scotland’s growing beach volleyball scene. Having last hosted in 2023, Scottish Volleyball is excited to be bringing international beach volleyball back to the sand in Scotland.
Scottish Volleyball is proud to launch the Tartan Talent Beach Pathway for the 2025 season – an ambitious and inclusive programme designed to inspire and support Scotland’s next generation of beach volleyball athletes.
With five interconnected elements – Discover, Futures, Academy, League, and International Events – the pathway offers clear progression from first touches at local sessions to elite international competitions against future Olympians. Each strand plays a vital role in ensuring athletes at all levels have the opportunity to grow their game, gain exposure, and develop within a supportive national structure.
