Volleyball is an exciting and fast-moving team sport that combines agility, power, and

strategy. Whether you’re diving for a save, setting up the perfect spike, or working with your teammates to control the game, volleyball offers a full-body workout and a chance to build strong bonds both on and off the court. It’s a game for all ages and abilities that brings energy, teamwork, and fun to every match.

 

Our Volleyball Club welcomes players of all skill levels — from beginners learning the fundamentals to experienced players competing at a high level. We run regular training sessions, social games, and competitive leagues to help you improve your skills and enjoy the sport in a friendly, supportive environment. More than just a game, we’re a community united by passion and teamwork. Join us — it’s more than volleyball, it’s a lifestyle.

About Us

LJMU Volleyball Club is a vibrant and fast-growing community that welcomes players of all levels—from total beginners to experienced competitors. Volleyball is a dynamic team sport that brings people together, and our club is proud to offer an inclusive space where everyone can enjoy the game. We currently have three competitive teams playing in the British Universities and Colleges Sport (BUCS) League: Men’s 1st in Northern 1A, Men’s 2nd in 2A, and Women’s in 3A. In addition, our Men’s B and Women’s teams compete in the Merseyside Volleyball League Division I. Off the court, our club is just as active, hosting a range of social events throughout the year including club nights, fun outings, and summer beach tournaments—promoting the family feel we’re known for.

Key Information

Training takes place at the LJMU Sports Centre, located next to the Student Life Building at 85 Brownlow Hill, L3 5AJ. Sessions run on Tuesday mornings from 7:15 to 8:45, Tuesday evenings between 6:00pm and 9:00pm (split evenly between men’s and women’s sessions), and on Sunday mornings from 12:00pm to 3:00pm for a mixed session that also includes some home games. To help new members settle in, we host taster sessions at the start of Semester 1, offering a great opportunity to meet the committee, ask questions, and get a feel for the club.

Why Us?

LJMU Volleyball offers so much more than just sport—it’s a place to make friends, grow your skills, and be part of a supportive and energetic team. Our weekly Wednesday socials are a highlight, giving everyone a chance to relax and connect outside of training. Major events like Varsity week, the Christmas meal, and our end-of-year awards night bring the whole club together to celebrate our progress and achievements. Whether you're new to the sport or looking to compete at a high level, you'll find a welcoming community, great training, and unforgettable memories waiting for you. Come say hello during Freshers and find out why so many students call LJMU Volleyball their university family.
