Initially started as a competitive alternative to Intramurals and the Intercollegiate Team, the UCSD Men’s Club Volleyball Team has grown into a nationally recognized force. Prior to 2001, games were casually scheduled against local teams and were played very similarly to open court (no refs, scoreboard). In 2001, UC San Diego joined the Southern California Club Volleyball League (SCCVL.org). In the past several years, UC Slam Diego has grown to become a powerhouse in the world of club volleyball. The Tritons have qualified for the top division at Nationals for the past ten years, including a third-place finish in 2013. For five years now, two teams have been fielded to compete under the title of UC San Diego. In 2020, both of our teams were at the top of their respective divisions before the season was cut short by the pandemic. We hope to continue where we left off in the upcoming season, and compete at the Collegiate Nationals held in Phoenix, Arizona in 2022.
