25.01.2022 Want to be like Jeff Menzel? Come down to BASC tonight for training from 6:30pm, and you'll be blocking with your chest in no time! Everyone welcome!

23.01.2022 Hey everyone! This is our fixture for the first 4 weeks of competition. We've managed to get our Mixed, Men's and Women's competition running. There are a few quirks (including duty for the Mixed competition), that we'll explain this coming Friday night. Can Team Captains / someone from each team please ensure your team knows what time you are playing this week (and take note of duty requirements from the 7:30pm games).... We'll see you down at BASC from 6:30pm this week for training, before games begin! Also, don't forget to ensure you are registered with Volleyball Victoria. We will have a list printed out tomorrow of everyone who is registered and, if you're not on it, you will need to complete your registration before taking the court at 7:30pm. Cheers!

22.01.2022 We'll see you tonight from 6:30pm for more volleyball! . Please note a few things: 1. No volleyballs will be made available until everyone present who is going to be playing in our season has submitted their individual registration form (available from bellarinevolleyball.com/downloads). It is a fillable pdf if you are on PC. We will have hard copies available tonight as well. We will also need Team registration forms. This is so that we can start our competition next week. ...2. Mitch will be demonstrating how to set up the courts. It is falling to the same people each week, and we should all be chipping in 3. Tom will be demonstrating how to use our digital scoresheet for those who will be scoring games. 4. Importantly, in line with Government regulations, everyone must check in to the centre on entry, and MUST be wearing a mask whilst not actively playing (this includes in between social games, having a rest from training etc). Anyone who is feeling unwell, or has been to any of the listed exposure sites here, is asked to please refrain from coming down tonight: https://www.dhhs.vic.gov.au/case-locations-and-outbreaks-co Thanks everyone!
