Is there a competitive league?
Our club strives to enter teams into the SA State League which is a competitive league that plays on the weekends. Trials are usually held at the beginning of the university year around March-April. The commitment to the team is usually x2 2hour training sessions throughout the week and games on the weekend. We currently have 7 teams playing in the 2024 season.
What if I have never played volleyball before?
Dont worry. Our training sessions are split up into courts for beginners, intermediates and advanced. We cater for all skill levels so there will be a place where you feel comfortable. Our coaches on the beginner's court will guide you on the basics and run drills during the first part of training.
How much does a membership cost and what does it include?
An AUVC membership currently stands at $65 for Adelaide University students. Extra fees may be applied for non-students. An Adelaide Uni Sport membership is also required as per university policy.
