The United Volleyball Conference is a National Collegiate Athletic Association Division III men's volleyball conference located in the northeastern United States.[1] Formed in August 2010 with play starting in January 2011, the conference operates out of the same offices as the all-sports Empire 8 league, though the two remain separate entities.[2]
The league currently has 8 members.
Note that because NCAA men's volleyball is a spring sport, the year of joining is the calendar year before the first season of competition.
