20.01.2022 Maroondah Vollyball’s state league program, Maroondah Cobras wouldn’t be possible without the help of our fabulous volunteers. From the coaches to the parent helpers, and the administrators all this means our players can take court each week. Beyond the club, many of our volunteers also get into the referee stands at Volleyball Victoria’s State League each week to support the wider competition. #NVW2021 #maroondahvolleyball #becomeavolunteer #referee #maroondahcobras

20.01.2022 Maroondah Volleyball - Spikezone Update for COVID-19. Maroondah Volleyball will continue to offer Spikezone for Thursday afternoons for the remainder of Term 1 while schools remain open. Maroondah Volleyball is complying with all government regulations and has increased our cleaning and hygiene requirements.

20.01.2022 What a fantastic night of Volleyball Australia’s Spikezone Program. It was great to see everyone in their new 2021 shirts, having an exciting time. With our 5:40pm session now full, we have opened sessions at 4:30pm on Thursday’s. #maroondahvolleyball #spikezone #volleyballAus #volleyballaustralia #volleyballvictoria

19.01.2022 Yesterday the federal government provided advice to the sports involved in the Coalition of Major Professional and Participation Sports (Netball, AFL, Rugby Union, Rugby League, Soccer, Cricket and Tennis) that Community Sport should continue across Australia for the following reasons: - For the physical and mental health and wellbeing of the community; - There is no suggestion or evidence that the virus can be transmitted through sweat. They recommended that community spo...rt continues with full compliance to government restrictions that limit gatherings to less than 500 people and all published hygiene guidelines. Here at Maroondah Volleyball we are following these recommendations, we have increased our hygiene practices for cleaning of all the equipment, and have allowed flexibility for teams that might have a player or two unable or uncomfortable attending at this time. Maroondah Volleyball sees the current COVID-19 health issues as externally serious for the community, and also acknowledges that the physical and mental wellbeing is also vitally important for the community at this time. When government regulations and advice changes, we will update and change our programs and competitions as required.

19.01.2022 Good stuff everyone, great to be back in it.

19.01.2022 A reminder we now have Social Sundays, starting tonight from 6pm to 8pm. Just a very low $5 entry. Tonight’s features include social music Volleyball and an introduction to light volley. Light Volley is a new program by Volleyball Australia which is low impact, larger and softer ball and great for people wanting a slower and easier paced game. Registrations online at https://bit.ly/MV-SocialSundays and pay at the door (cash or card welcome).

19.01.2022 Volunteer Achievement Award - Geoff Moss We are trilled that one of our life members, Geoff Moss was awarded the Volunteer Achievement Award in the 2019 Volleyball Victoria Affiliate Awards. This is a wonderful acknowledgement of all the work Geoff has done for Maroondah Volleyball right back to the inception of Croydon & Districts Volleyball Association in 1977 where Geoff was first involved as a player. In 1978 he joined the committee as the Vice President, a position ...he held until 1988 when we was elected as President. He remains our longest serving President stepping down in 2008. Since that time he continues to volunteer with the association out on the court as a referee, and mentor to our upcoming referees and new members. Behind the scenes he continues to work tirelessly in the office supporting the committee and volunteers in all manner of tasks, especially the planning and running of our annual tournament. Geoff was made a life member of Maroondah Volleyball (CDVA) in 1985, and was awarded the Presidents Award in 2017 for his continued service, one of just two recipients of this award. Congratulations to all finalists; Bethany Smarrelli, Geoff Moss, Jack Caret and Nic Ryan who are all deserving winners. This award is a great recognition that all our associations and clubs have dedicated volunteers that are the heart and soul.

18.01.2022 Most Outstanding Association - Maroondah Volleyball We are thrilled to have been awarded the Most Outstanding Association in the 2019 Volleyball Victoria Affiliate Awards.

It is a great honour for Maroondah Volleyball and is recognition of our continual growth over number of years in promoting the sport of Volleyball and our work with the wider Volleyball Community, Volleyball Victoria and Volleyball Australia.

Social Sundays are run entirely by our volunteers and has provided a new way for new volunteers to get involved in something less demanding of them and their time, and relieves the pressure of our other volunteers. Like all our programs at Maroondah Volleyball, if you would like to be involved and volunteer, please... get in touch with us. At the conclusion of this National Volunteers Week, we thank all our volunteers, not just at Maroondah Volleyball but the wider volleyball community. #NVW2021 #becomeavolunteer #thankyou #maroondahvolleyball #SocialSunday #VolleyballVictoria #VolleyballAustralia

15.01.2022 Maroondah Volleyball is working towards a safe return to the courts, however the current restrictions in place for Metropolitan Melbourne limit us to what we are able to offer our members at this time. As Metropolitan Melbourne moved to Third Step of restrictions on 27th October, it saw with it restrictions ease to: * Outdoor non-contact sport can resume for adults. This is limited to the minimum number of people required to participate in and facilitate the activity (e.g. cr...icket may be played with two teams of eleven players and the necessary coaching personnel and umpires). * Outdoor sport (contact and non-contact) can resume for people aged 18 and under, limited to the minimum number of people required for the activity (e.g. players, necessary coaches and umpires and those required for supervision of young children or to support people with a disability). * Outdoor sport and recreation facilities can open. - Fitness and dance classes can be held outdoors with up to 10 people, including classes associated with gyms. The ten-person cap does not include those necessary for the class such as the teacher. Classes must be outdoor. - Up to ten people can participate in outdoor personal training, with the trainer not included in the cap. From 11:59pm Sunday 8 November - VICTORIA WIDE (Subject to confirmation from the State Government) * Community sports for 18 YEARS OLD and Under can return to Outdoor (contact) Competition and/or Training.

12.01.2022 We have been reviewing the new COVID-19 regulations regarding 1 person per 4 sq meters of space to ensure we are still complying. A volleyball court is 9m x 18m, giving 162 sq meters, that limits us to 40 people on the court. However the FIVB rules only allow us to have 12 people on the court at one time, so for now we will continue cleaning all our equipment, practicing good hygiene and limiting you to 6 per team on the court.
