As has been the tradition over the last few years, Austral will be holding a pre-season trip for all of its players, both young and old. The trip will be focused on preparation for the volleyball season in both fitness and club bonding while also being a weekend of fun and socialisation.
The trip is scheduled for the 12th-14th March at the Toc H camp site in Victor Harbor. Ensure you keep that weekend free as it will be mandatory for all senior players to attend! Junior players are also encouraged to attend, and if any parents of family would like to help out, you are welcome too!
For further details please email us at Australvc@gmail.com
See you all there!

Dear Austral Member, Family & Friends,
It seems like just a short time ago that the 2009 league volleyball season ended and we kicked our heels up at Victor Harbor for the End of Season Trip. That was, however, almost 3 months ago and a lot has happened in that short time. The newly elected committee has been working hard to prepare Austral Volleyball Club for the 2010 season.
Items that have been high on the agenda are appointing coaches for 2010, creating an all new website, organising an events and fundraising structure and calendar for 2010. Part of this also sees us broaden our activities and provide incentives for members to get involved and aid in strengthening the club.
We have set up an email address to assist with speedy communication – Australvc@gmail.com – so please add this to your “safe senders” in your email and be sure to let us know if your email address changes so you stay up to date. Also feel free to ask any questions you have of the club.

Regards,

Austral would like to send out a big congratulations to all of the athletes, coaches and officials that participated at this year’s Australian Schools Volleyball Cup in Melbourne earlier this month.
Austral had many of its younger members participating in the event for both Unley High School and Mercedes College. The athletes and coaches all represented their schools, Austral and themselves in an exemplary fashion and played some great volleyball too.
A special mention must go to the Unley High School Open Boys side who won the gold medal in the Division 1 competition under the guidance of Austral’s own volleyball tragic Peter Bawhey.
