VVL is a weekly competition played on Saturdays usually at the State Volleyball Centre in Dandenong. VVL is open to all members of the public, not just Melbourne University students.
Members committing to play VVL are expected to be available to train and play for the entire season. Trainings are held on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays at various venues and times, depending on the team.
Depending on the size of the team and skill-level of the player, the club will offer ‘Training Only’ positions to players who are unable to commit to the VVL competition, but would like to train at VVL level.
The club will seek to enter the following teams into the new restructured 2025 Victorian Volleyball League:
| 2025 TEAMS – MEN | 2025 TEAMS – WOMEN |
| PREMIER LEAGUE DIV 1 | PREMIER LEAGUE DIV 1 |
| PREMIER LEAGUE DIV 2 | PREMIER LEAGUE DIV 2 |
| STATE LEAGUE DIV 1 BLUE (1st) | STATE LEAGUE DIV 1 BLUE (1st) |
| STATE LEAGUE DIV 1 WHITE (2nd) | STATE LEAGUE DIV 1 WHITE (2nd) |
| STATE LEAGUE DIV 1 RED (U/19) | STATE LEAGUE DIV 2 |
| STATE LEAGUE DIV 2 | STATE LEAGUE DIV 3 |
| STATE LEAGUE DIV 3 | JUNIOR U19 &OR U17 &OR U15 |
| JUNIOR U19 &OR U17 &OR U15 |
