Competition CANCELLED Monday 16 December
After significant deliberation the Committee have decided the safest course of action, given the weather forecast for tomorrow, is to CANCEL the final round of competition for the year.
While we appreciate it is a disappointing way to end 2024, the forecast temperature to set to still be at or over 40 degrees at 6pm and there are significant winds contributing to an “extreme” fire danger rating for the day.
The stadium will be very hot and uncomfortable for playing, and we feel anything we can do to minimize travel in potentially dangerous conditions is in the best interests of you, our members. We appreciate your understanding and please ask that you share this with your team mates and double check that they are aware so they don’t come to the stadium unnecessarily.
On behalf of Volleyball Ballarat, thank you for all your support and participation in 2024 and we look forward to welcoming you all back on court in February for an even bigger and better 2025!
Merry Christmas and a safe and prosperous holiday season to you all!!!
THIS GIRL CAN – AND SHE DID! THANK YOU
Volleyball Ballarat are proud to have support the THIS GIRL CAN campaign, with plenty of young girls and women turning up to a free training and game play session. A special shout our to Fiona Abbott for her organisation and Loreto College for their support in providing the venue free of charge./p>
2024/25 summer Season
Our 2024/25 Summer Season has kicked off with A and B Grade competitions up and running. The competition will play from October to December and then break for the summer school holidays before resuming from February to April. This season we will be re-introducing MVP and All Star 6 voting for both divisions for the first time in 30 years.
We have also decided to move away from Teampay this season and back to individual payments which will be invoiced through RevSport. These can be paid by term or weekly, online in advance or on match night by card or cash. Payment must be made prior to the start of the match to take the court.
Competition fees:
Adult = $10.00 per match
Concession/student = $7.00 per match
