Men's BUCS

Players who have already some volleyball experience, or members of other teams that show very fast improvement who want to compete at the highest level possible for a university team. Men's BUCS is a team made of students only. We play in the British University and Colleges Sport - BUCS competition (until season 2007/2008 it was know as BUSA). It is the most important competition at university level. Because of this we travel around the country a lot, where besides playing we have loads of fun. Other indoor competitions we play include the Student Cup, SADVA and SEVA. For more details about these competitions, check here. If you are a full time student, commited and display good skills, you may be invited to become a member.
