Each season, Scottish Volleyball organises various senior and junior league and cup competitions. These competitions are governed by the FIVB's Official Volleyball Rules,[18] the FIVB's Official Beach Volleyball Rules[19] and the SVA's Rules of Scottish Volleyball Competitions.[20]

Senior competitions

Scottish Volleyball League (SVL)

Organised volleyball leagues began in Scotland in the 1960s and were known as the National League. The number of divisions and number of teams in each division varied over the years, with the lower divisions sometimes split into East and West.

In season 201516, the National League was renamed the Scottish Volleyball League (SVL), the top division renamed from Division 1 to SVL Premier and the second and third divisions renamed League One and Two.[21]

As of season 2023–24, there are three divisions in the senior men's and two in the senior women's SVL.[22] The teams winning the SVL Premier division gain the title of Scottish Champions and are entitled to enter the CEV Cup the following season.

As of the 2022-23 season, SVL Premier has had a series of post-season playoffs to determine the Scottish Champion.[20] Currently, the top four teams in SVL Premier go into a series of semi-finals and finals, each played over two legs.[20]

The divisions are:

  • Men's SVL Premier
  • Women's SVL Premier
  • Men's League One
  • Women's League One

Interruption of Season 201920

On 13 March 2020, the day before the Scottish Cup and Plate Semi-finals were due to take place, the 201920 season was interrupted as part of the country's response to the COVID-19 pandemic.[42][43] As of the end of April 2020, an SVA Board decision on the outcome of the season's outstanding competitions was still to be finalised.[44] In May 2020, a final decision was made on the outcome of competitions in the 2019-20 season.[24] The national knockout competitions (Scottish Cup and Scottish Plate) were declared null and void. Winners were declared for Men's and Women's SVL Premier as well as Women's SVL One; no winner was declared for Men's SVL One because there was not a clear enough margin between teams.

Men's U20 European Championships 2024

In January 2024, Scotland became the first UK Volleyball Federation to qualify to a European Championship Finals ever by winning the 2024 CEV SCA U20 Men's Championships in Dublin, Ireland.[45] The Scotland U20 Men's National Team were the fourth Scotland team to win a CEV SCA Championships (after U20 Men in 2014, Senior Men in 2019, and Senior Women in 2021) and following a change in CEV rules, were eligible to directly qualify for the Finals to be held in Serbia and Greece in August/September 2024.
