Sheffield Volleyball Club was founded in 1989 and in its short history has already had an illustrious past. Starting as a recreational volleyball side it quickly established itself as one of the major volleyball clubs in the country and currently have won the English super league twice (2014,2009). Currently, the club runs multiple other teams alongside their Men's and Women's performance teams. Sheffield Volleyball Club also offer opportunities for junior players.
Men's 1st team
[edit]The men's 1st team are one of the most consistently successful teams in recent history in English Volleyball. The team is largely made up of students based at the performance programme of Sheffield Hallam University and relatively local talent. The team has always had a history of developing players from the university level and preparing them for potentially embarking on a professional career as a volleyball player overseas. As of 2023 the men's 1st team compete in National Division 2 North after withdrawing from the super league due to lack of players.
