Meet the Committee
Behind every successful volleyball club is a dedicated committee working hard behind the scenes to keep everything running smoothly. At Birmingham United Volleyball Club, our committee members give their time, energy, and commitment to supporting our players, organising activities, developing the club, and creating a welcoming environment for everyone.
From leadership and administration to player welfare, events, communications, and team management, every role plays an important part in helping our club grow. Together with our volunteers, coaches, players, and supporters, we work towards one shared goal: building a stronger, happier, and more united volleyball community.
