Be a sport: From volleyball beginner to cup winner. Life at university is all about new experiences and taking up opportunities for the first time. Whether that's through study, socialising, activities or locations, there is never a shortage of ways to add a string to a bow. This is never truer than with sports with Sussex offering the possibilities of trying out in dozens of different sports and active pastimes. At university, students can discover a skill they never knew they had such as these members of cup-winning squads this season who have gone from novices to pros in a matter of months. In a three-part series, we're profiling our victorious sports teams and finding out how a step into the unknown has brought them huge personal satisfaction, new friendships and a host of fun memories. In the final piece in the series, the spotlight is on the women's volleyball team, who topped their league this season before clinching the National Trophy by strolling through their semi-final and final against Anglia Ruskin University and Coventry University without losing a set.
