Here is the draw for Week 1 of the Spring Social Comp starting tomorrow night!
Like every spring, we will be sharing the Illawarra Hockey Centre with indoor hockey. To reduce interruptions and to respect their playing space, please keep the following in mind:
- Access the volleyball courts via the westernmost fire doors. These will be open the whole night.
- Do not cross the eastern courts, you may be hit by a stray hockey ball. If you need to access the bathrooms please exit the stadium via the fire doors and re-enter via the main entrance.
- If a hockey ball rolls on to a volleyball court stop play immediately. You may replay the rally once the ball has been removed.
Season Format
Due to a massive influx of teams and the limited court space in spring, we will need to run with one entire grade having a bye every week. Week 1 will see A Grade with the bye, followed by B Grade in Week 2 and C Grade in Week 3. This cycle will then repeat 2 more times over the 9 week season before we play finals on December 10.
This is the most equitable way to get the most people playing the most volleyball we can with the space provided.
There are also uneven teams in A and C Grade, so there will have to be more byes there too. I have doubled up games for some teams so that they can make up for the bye weeks. In Week 1, 6 and a half players have the bye.
Team Fees
Costs will reflect the lower court time this season. You will be invoiced the full amount after the first few weeks of play.
