Classroom

It is one of the University’s most active sports sections. Girls are trained in two groups.

The first team competes for the University of Warsaw in the Polish Championships, University Championships of Warsaw and other national and international tournaments in both indoor and beach volleyball.

The second team plays in the University Championships of Warsaw Second Division and is a direct reserve for the first team.

You do not have to be a champion. All you need is willingness, physical fitness for this sport, volleyball basic skills and a habit of hard work in a nice, friendly and sportsmanship atmosphere.

The women’s volleyball section is open for female daily, evening, extramural, postgraduate or doctoral students as well as university staff. The second group is for beginner players (starting their serious experience with volleyball), while the first group is for advanced players (with a record in other Polish volleyball clubs).

The students from the volleyball section compete for the University of Warsaw in the University Championships of Warsaw, Poland and Europe in both indoor and beach volleyball.

The volleyball season lasts from September to June or even July (for beach volleyball) for the first team and from October to June for the second team. Both teams are trained by the same coach according to the same schedule:
