I am new to Macedon Ranges Volleyball and would like to join a team, what do I do?
You can contact us via contact@macedonrangesvolleyball.com and come down to the stadium during a competition night to check it out and discuss options. Depending on the time of the season and the numbers in each team, we may be able to add you to an existing team or create a completely new one with interested players as we have done regularly in the past.
I have my own team organised, can I enter the competition?
New teams are always welcome to join the Monday night Competition, however, depending on the status of the season, this may be able to happen immediately or it may take some time to fit you into the draw and make any operational arrangements necessary to support new teams.
Please email contact@macedonrangesvolleyball.com with any inquiries or entries.
Do I need a uniform to play?
No uniform is required.
Are there referees provided?
In order to keep our playing fees low, we do not have paid referees to officiate matches. Due to the nature of the competition, teams are scheduled to do duty for a match they are not playing in before or after their own match. At the moment we ask any team rostered for duty to provide a main referee and a scorer for their duty match on average once every 2-3 weeks.
We have a number of qualified referees that can help teams to learn the processes when they first start and it is quite a simple system we use.
Is there a junior competition?
Unfortunately at this stage we do not have a dedicated full junior competition running, however we do have a dedicated timeslot for junior training and development game play from 3-4.30pm on Sunday afternoon. These sessions are a mixture of game play and skill development with qualified coaches providing guidance to players throughout the sessions.
Does Macedon Ranges Volleyball have representative teams?
Macedon Ranges has a long and proud history of representative volleyball. Currently we enter Men’s and Women’s teams in the Victorian Country Volleyball Championships on the June long weekend each year. There are also a number of other regional and metro tournament opportunities to participate in based on player availability.
