Volleyball

EVERYONE

Welcome

Volleyball is a friendly, enthusiastic and diverse club, who welcome any level of player. Our club members work together to develop all of our players which creates a strong team spirit throughout the year. Volleyball can be played at a competitive level or you can participate in our social sessions alongside fellow Beckett students.

Our Ethos

Why join volleyball?

Being part of volleyball means that there is always something for everyone to get involved with - regardless of your ability! We aim to make all of our new club members feel a part of the family, not just on the court but also as part of our club social activities - which helps us all get to know each other better and develop strong and lasting friendships in the club. We are known for our ‘family’ ethos and help to support one another in all aspects of university life.

Leeds Beckett awards a number of sports scholarships to high performing athletes each year who are committed to upholding the values of the university and willing to represent Leeds Beckett in BUCS events.
