Conor Keeling and Pat Lynch founded the Aer Lingus Volleyball Club in June 1984 in the ALSAA Sports Complex (Cloughgran, Co. Dublin). Both Conor and Pat were playing volleyball with Tallaght and the National Team at that time and decided to use their expertise in starting up a club at Dublin Airport. In our first season as a club we had 1 ladies' and 1 men's team. We got our first club victory by winning the Division 3 Men's National League title.

Over the years our Club has gone from strength to strength and currently its 4 teams are competing in National Leagues. Add to this a thriving Junior section and you will know why the club is one of the biggest in the country. To date the Club has won a total of 27 National Titles. Many of our Current and past members have been on the Irish Ladies or Men's National Squads.

The 1997/98 season was the most successful since the foundation of the Aer Lingus Volleyball club back in 1984. With 6 teams competing in all Divisions of National League 2 of those team finished in first place while the the other 4 finished in second place in their respective divisions. In the National Championship, 3 teams reached the finals wining their respective divisions.  3 players Received the coveted National All-Star awards.

Our Club has competed in many tournaments abroad over the years. The furthest we have traveled is to Japan and Australia in 1993 and 1995 respectively, and we have participated in tournaments in the following European cities - Amsterdam, Antwerp, Brussels, Cologne, Dusseldorf, Frankfurt, Hamburg, Lisbon, Nice, Paris, Prague and Zurich - over the last 19 years. There has also been many great tournament weekends in England, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and of course the 26 counties.

In 2003 Aer Lingus Volleyball Club made history in Irish volleyball when one of their men team, winners of the National League premier division, participated for the first time ever in the CEV Cup competition.

With an eye on the future we have taken steps into spreading and developing volleyball. Our first was in 2001 to form a coaching and development partnership with 4 secondary Schools in Swords, Co Dublin. This entails running an Inter-Collegiate Volleyball Competition and Coaching Courses for the interested Pupils and Staff. This competition was originally the brain child on Sean MacDonaill who ran this competition for 5 years and has championed volleyball in the Swords area for many years.

Our second initiative is our Junior section for under 16 year old. This was a major step and has proved very successful. We now have a thriving under 12 year old section with two dedicated coaches. The emphasis at this level is on Fun and play. We also have a growing under 16 year old group of players both boys and girls who we hope will enter Division 3 competition in 2002-2003 season.
