Entering the 2012-2013 season Williams Club Volleyball is coming off their most successful year ever, in which they placed 6th in New Englands (highest finish by a NESCAC school). The team was ranked as high as #3 regionally during the regular season. The team is geared to all skill levels, with players who have high school or club experience practicing on a regular basis and travelling to tournaments. The team holds regular open gyms for those interested in learning the game for which participants can earn P.E. credit even if they are not part of the final travel squad.

Club Volleyball is a co-ed sport, although does practice and play tournaments on a regulation men's net. Because Williams does not have a Men's varsity program the club team represents the highest competitive volleyball team on campus for Men. The travel team is said to have started the trend of NECVL teams "Tebowing" after aces during the 2012 season.
