Welcome to the UConn Men's and Women's Volleyball Club. Men's team competes in New England Collegiate Volleyball League (NECVL) while Women's teams competes in Northeast Women's Volleyball Club League (NWVCL). The teams are coached by Jung Park, 2007 NIRSA National Coach of the Year. Entering his 14th season with UConn, Jung also coaches at Choate where his team won 2009 New England Prep Boys title.

Jeff Sanith will continue as the Assistant Coach for the both programs. Jeff, former two time All New England selection as a setter (UConn '07) is entering his second season.

2009-2010 Season Highlights

Men's team finished 2^nd in NECVL (New England Collegiate Volleyball League) out of 39 teams in New England. Men's also qualified to play in D1 (top 48 teams in the country) at NCVF Club Nationals but struggled with a major injury to one of its key players, Steve Nemec (MH) who was having an all-star caliber season. Jeff Sanith who took over the head coaching duties in spring did an excellent job with the team. Three players were selected to All-NECVL tournament team; Min Yoon (L), Scott Rigott (Opp) and Rob Belden (S). The team will return many of its key starters led by captain Rob Belden, Ray Johnson, Scott Rigott and Patrick Carey. It will look to add some depth at middle and outside hitter positions next fall.

Women's team finished 5^th in NWVCL (Northeast Women's Volleyball Club League) out of 48 teams in Northeast region. Women's played in D2 at Club Nationals and finished 9^th (D2 Gold Bracket). Jane Sherwill (MH, captain), Ashley Bivona (OH) and Chelsea Lund (S) were selected to All-NWVCL all-star team. It was Jane's fourth time selection, marking it the second time it has happened in team's history (Megan Wolf 09' graduate was the other).

There are now over 400 Men's and 240 Women's club teams in the country, playing at very high level. If you are interested in participating in collegiate club programs around New England and Northeast Region, contact Jung Park who serves as the commissioner of both NECVL and NWVCL.
