The season runs for roughly five months and includes a number of multi-team tournaments, as well as, head to head competitions. The team travels from downstate New York to as far as Vermont. Practices are held a few nights a week and are designed to hone one s skills on the volleyball court in order to be competitive as a team. Depending on the team s success, there is the opportunity to make the national club tournament usually held in a southern state. The team is open to all students and encourages anyone with an interest in playing volleyball and has the drive and desire to work hard and win to come and try-out.
Membership is open to all interested students with or without prior rugby experience.
The team teaches the sport to newcomers and gives everyone an opportunity to play at their own level of competence.

Socializing and singing follow each match. The team is a member of the 30-college New York State Rugby Conference and plays matches every fall and spring against some of the best college teams in New York and New England.
