Kewin Sasak is a Polish opposite hitter who plays for Bogdanka LUK Lublin and represents the Poland men’s national volleyball team. Born in Dębica in 1997, the 208 cm attacker took a long route to the senior national team, moving through Poland’s lower divisions, several seasons with Trefl Gdańsk and a year in Czechia before becoming a championship-winning starter in Lublin.
His international breakthrough came unusually late. Sasak made his senior Poland debut at 28 in 2025, then immediately became the team’s leading scorer during its Volleyball Nations League campaign. Poland won the title and Sasak finished the competition with 172 points before being selected as the VNL’s Best Opposite. He later added World Championship bronze in 2025 and remained part of Poland’s title-winning squads in both the 2026 VNL and EuroVolley.

Early Life & Volleyball Beginnings
Sasak comes from Dębica in southeastern Poland. His youth development included MKS MDK Warszawa before his senior career began away from the country’s biggest volleyball centers. He joined BAS Białystok for the 2016–17 season, then moved to Ślepsk Suwałki in Poland’s second tier.
That route differed from the direct academy-to-PlusLiga path taken by many eventual Poland internationals. Sasak reached the top division with Trefl Gdańsk in 2018, initially entering a roster in which Maciej Muzaj was expected to carry much of the opposite-hitter workload. Over the next four seasons, he gained top-flight experience without yet establishing himself as one of the league’s leading Polish scorers.
His youth international record also predates his senior breakthrough by several years. CEV competition records show Sasak in Poland’s U20 setup in 2016 and in the European qualification process for the 2017 U21 World Championship, but almost a decade would pass before he made his first senior national-team appearance.
Club Career
Gdańsk, a Czech Gamble and a Different Role on Return
Sasak’s first long PlusLiga period came with Trefl Gdańsk from 2018 through 2022. He spent four consecutive seasons at the club, gradually accumulating experience but not yet following the rapid national-team trajectory often associated with highly rated Polish attackers.
The most important decision of that period came when he left Poland. For 2022–23, Sasak signed with VK ČEZ Karlovarsko in Czechia. The move traded the stronger domestic competition of the PlusLiga for a clearer route to regular responsibility. A 2025 account of his career path later described that Czech season as a turning point: Karlovarsko won the Czech SuperCup and finished third in the domestic league, while Sasak returned to Poland with greater experience as a primary opposite.
Trefl brought him back for 2023–24. This time his role was substantially different from the one he had occupied in his first Gdańsk spell. Sasak carried a larger share of the offense and became one of the team’s central figures alongside outside hitter Mikołaj Sawicki. Their performances led both players toward Bogdanka LUK Lublin for the following season.
Lublin: European Trophy, Polish Championship and a Career Breakthrough
Sasak joined Bogdanka LUK Lublin in 2024, just as the club was preparing for the most successful season in its history.
The first major trophy arrived in Europe. Lublin defeated Cucine Lube Civitanova 3–1 in the opening leg of the 2025 CEV Challenge Cup final, then survived a difficult return match in Italy. Lube took the first two sets of the second leg, but Lublin recovered sufficiently to secure the aggregate victory and win the first European trophy in club history.
Less than two months later, the club added its first Polish championship. Lublin defeated Aluron CMC Warta Zawiercie 3–1 in the championship series, closing the final with a straight-set home victory in May 2025. Sasak had gone from leaving Poland in search of regular playing time two years earlier to becoming the starting opposite for a team that won both a European trophy and the PlusLiga title.
The success continued into 2025–26. Lublin won the Polish SuperCup and then captured its first Polish Cup in January 2026. Sasak scored 24 points, including five blocks, in the five-set semifinal against Indykpol AZS Olsztyn and followed with 12 points in the 3–0 final against Asseco Resovia. He was named both Polish Cup MVP and Best Opposite.
Lublin also made its CEV Champions League debut that season. Sasak immediately produced one of his strongest European performances, scoring 19 points with 15 kills at 75% success, two blocks and two aces in a 3–0 win over Halkbank Ankara. He received the match MVP award. The club eventually reached the quarterfinals, while its domestic title defense ended with a five-match championship series against Aluron CMC Warta Zawiercie and a silver medal.

National Team Career
Sasak’s senior international career began much later than his club career. He was 28 when Nikola Grbić brought him into the Poland setup in 2025, and he made his senior debut during the Silesia Cup in Katowice against Ukraine.
The timing made his first major international tournament particularly notable. Rather than entering the VNL only as depth behind Poland’s established opposites, Sasak received substantial responsibility during the opening weeks and quickly turned it into production. He scored 19 points against the Netherlands in Poland’s first match and another 20 against Japan, with his service run contributing to Poland’s recovery from 20–24 in the opening set of the Japanese match.
The 2025 VNL Breakthrough
By the VNL Finals, Sasak had become Poland’s most productive scorer. His best knockout performance came in the semifinal against Brazil, when he delivered 19 points with an 81% success rate in attack as Poland won in straight sets.
Poland then swept Italy in the final to claim its second VNL championship. Across 15 appearances, Sasak accumulated 172 points, including 141 attack points, 16 blocks and 15 aces. He finished as Poland’s leading scorer and was selected as the tournament’s Best Opposite.
The speed of that transition was unusual: Sasak had entered the summer without a senior international cap and finished it as an individual award winner on a VNL championship team.
World Championship Bronze and the 2026 Season
Sasak stayed in Poland’s senior group for the 2025 World Championship in the Philippines. Italy ended Poland’s title challenge in the semifinal, but the team recovered against Czechia in the bronze-medal match. Sasak contributed 11 points, including three aces, as Poland won 3–1 and secured its first World Championship bronze medal.
His role changed during the 2026 VNL. Sasak remained on the roster but was used much less heavily than during his breakout summer, scoring 10 points across the competition while Poland successfully defended its title.
He was again selected for EuroVolley 2026 and wore number 35. Poland used both Sasak and Bartłomiej Bołądź at opposite during the tournament, with Sasak receiving court time across the championship. The team defeated France 3–1 in the final to retain its European title and secure qualification for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games.
Two seasons into his senior international career, Sasak had therefore collected four major medals: VNL gold in 2025 and 2026, World Championship bronze in 2025 and European Championship gold in 2026.
Playing Style & Strengths
Sasak’s strongest evidence as an elite opposite comes from his scoring load during the 2025 VNL. Producing 172 points in 15 matches immediately after his senior international debut required more than isolated substitute appearances; Poland repeatedly used him as a primary right-side attacker, and he responded with 141 kills while also contributing 16 blocks and 15 aces.
His 208 cm frame gives him a large attacking window, but his best performances have combined reach with efficient point production rather than relying on height alone. The clearest example came against Brazil in the 2025 VNL semifinal, when Sasak converted at 81% in attack while scoring 19 points. In his first Champions League match with Lublin later that year, he again showed high-end efficiency with 15 kills from 20 swings against Halkbank.
Serving became another visible part of his international breakthrough. Sasak produced three aces in his first VNL match against the Netherlands and finished the competition with 15. Against Japan, his turn at the service line helped Poland erase a four-point deficit late in the first set. That pressure from behind the line gave him a second way to influence matches when Poland was already relying heavily on him for right-side scoring.
His blocking numbers also add useful context. Sixteen kill blocks during the 2025 VNL and five blocks in the 2026 Polish Cup semifinal show that his production is not limited to attacking. For an opposite, that combination of high attacking volume, service pressure and right-side blocking is what made his late international breakthrough sustainable beyond a single good week.

Personal Life
Sasak is married to Weronika Sasak. The couple maintain a relatively low public profile compared with the visibility of his volleyball career, although they have appeared together on his social media. A 2025 Przegląd Sportowy feature on the partners of Poland’s national-team players identified Weronika as his wife and noted that Sasak shares personal-life material only occasionally.
Where Is Kewin Sasak Playing Now?
As of the 2026–27 season, Kewin Sasak remains with Bogdanka LUK Lublin and wears number 35. The current Polish league registration lists him at 208 cm, 106 kg and a 355 cm attack reach, while CEV has him registered with Lublin for the 2027 Champions League.
He enters the season after two trophy-heavy years with the club. His first campaign in Lublin produced the CEV Challenge Cup and Polish championship; the following season added the Polish SuperCup, Polish Cup and league silver. The 2026 Polish Cup also brought his first major domestic tournament MVP award.
Sasak remains an active member of the Poland men’s national team and continues to wear number 35 internationally. His 2026 season brought a second consecutive VNL gold and his first European Championship title, although his role was smaller than during the 2025 campaign in which he had been Poland’s primary scorer.
