The team comprised of captain Will Richardson, internationalists Rich James and Rosie Barley, Olivia Burton, Pieter Drijfhout, Evan Morris, Zara Lovatt, Kate Jones, Zakk Hadgett and Georgina Reah. The Most Valuable Player trophy was split between both Zakk Hadgett and Olivia Burton.

Said NULC Academy of Sport manager Trevor Humphreys: "This has been a remarkable season for NULC sport. Not only is our mixed volleyball team top in the country, our men's basketball and volleyball teams and the women's cross country team are all national champions. And we have won several regional titles too. So, if you like sport, no matter what level, then our fantastic facilities and dedicated staff mean NULC is your college of first choice."
