Volleyball England is a member body of the FIVB, and has its offices at SportPark, Loughborough University, Loughborough, Leicestershire. In the past, men's volleyball in England has been dominated by London Malory, led by Canadian coach Jefferson Williams. However now Sheffield have become one of the strongest teams in the league winning the 2008 National Cup Final against London Malory. Sheffield is also one of the youngest teams in the league, and is led by coach Keith Trenam. Women's volleyball in England has also been dominated by London Malory in the past, again led by Jefferson Williams. However, in 2008, the University of London Union (ULU) women's team defeated London Malory in the Cup quarter-finals and left them out of the Final for the first time in 13 years. The student side, which competes in the London Premier League and is led by coach Mark Kontopoulos, then defeated Wessex-Team Bath in the semi-finals and London Polonia in the Final to become the first ever non-national league team to win the National Cup. Wesex-Team Bath won Division 1 of the 2008 National League.
