A little while back I posted about the growth in the number of Western League volleyball teams competing in BUCS for the 2013-14 campaign<\/a>. As I noted then, we’re seeing net growth on both the men’s and women’s side such that in both cases there will A and B sub-divisions within Division 2 whereas in 2012-13 there was only Division 2A for both genders.<\/p>\n

Being the curious sort, I decided to take a look to see if there’s growth in other parts of BUCS system. As it turns out, there is.<\/p>\n

On the men’s side, excluding the Western League, there’s a net gain of 12 teams for the new campaign. The Midlands and Southeastern Leagues are both growing by 5 teams, leading to the addition of a Division 3 in both places where none existing last season. The Northern League added a pair of teams, while the Scottish League held steady.<\/p>\n

On the women’s side the gain was six teams. The Midlands League gained 5 teams, resulting in a split in Division 2 in to A and B groups. The Northern League actually lost 4 teams, seeing Division 3 dropped. The Scottish League gained 2 teams, causing Division 2 to be split to create Division 3. The South Eastern League gained 3 teams on net, adding a Division 3B.<\/p>\n

So here are the total 2013-14 net team gains by League:<\/p>\n

Midlands +10
\nNorthern -2
\nScottish +2
\nSoutheastern +8
\nWestern +8<\/p>\n

That gives us a total net gain of 26 teams in a single year, which is just over 13%. That puts BUCS volleyball up through the 200 team mark. Not bad for a place that supposedly doesn’t care about volleyball.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
