Solent Volleyball Club is a non-profit, member-based sports organisation, run by committee of dedicated volunteers. Founded in 1976, the club has provided volleyball opportunities to its members for more than three decades. Over the course of the club's history we have fielded Men's and Ladies' teams at nearly all levels of national and local competition.

There are currently two Men's teams competing in Divison II and Division III of the National Volleyball League (NVL), and a Ladies' team in Division III. For the Southampton and District Volleyball Association (SADVA) league we have Men's, Ladies' and Mixed teams in their respective league competitions.

Solent Volleyball Club is affiliated to Southampton and District Volleyball Association (SADVA) as well as the English Volleyball Association (EVA).
