History

Welcome to UNC Women’s Club Volleyball! Our club has grown to produce two nationally competitive teams of about 10 girls each. The teams practice together and go to about four tournaments in both the fall and spring semesters. Tournaments are mostly single day events (Saturdays) with a few multi-day tournaments (Saturday and Sunday). Club members pay one-time dues in the fall. Dues vary from year to year, so if you have questions about the upcoming year, please contact one of the co-presidents under “Contacts.”

The club volleyball season culminates in a national sports club competition in April. For the first time ever in 2010, the club sent two teams to the NCVF National Championships in Louisville, KY. Team Blue finished second in the Bronze Bracket of Division I, while Team White finished second in the Silver Bracket of Division III, placing 10^th overall in their division. This was an excellent showing for Carolina Volleyball!

Both teams are part of Carolina Women’s Club Volleyball League (CWCVL), which includes 16 universities in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia.

Commitment: The Women’s Volleyball Club expects commitment and hard-work from each of its members. Traditionally, practices are from 8 to 10 pm on Tuesday and Thursday evenings in Fetzer Gym, though the schedule varies with gym availability each year. In order to play and perform well in tournaments, it is of the utmost importance that club members attend ALL practices. It is expected of the potential members to have no other commitments (class, work, friends, etc) during practice times. Tournament schedules are given out well in advance to get off work also. Each member is allowed to miss practices with prior approval. No practices can be missed the week before a tournament.
