The VBC Galina (more rarely Vbc Galina) is the most successful volleyball club from the Principality of Liechtenstein . After numerous problems in the past, an attempt is currently being made to get back to successful times. Both the women's and men's teams of VBC Galina are currently playing in the Swiss National League B. In the 2009/2010 season, both teams made it to the National League B (NLB). The entry of the men's team into the semi-finals of the PAX Volley Cup 2010 can be regarded as the greatest success in the recent past. In the semifinals, the reigning and serial Swiss champion SEAT Volley Näfels failed.

Venues
The main venue of the first team of the VBC Galinas is the triple sports hall in Resch in Schaan . It is owned by the municipality and can accommodate up to 1000 spectators. The main training facility, however, is the smaller WST1 sports hall in Triesen, in which championship games are often played, especially towards the end of the season for reasons of time.
Trivia
- Traditionally, the dress handover to new players takes place at sunrise on the Galinakopf (2198 meters).
