Our Association is proudly run by a dedicated Committee of volunteers who work hard to create opportunities for everyone in our regional community to enjoy volleyball—whether through social competitions, skill development, or tournament play.
Volunteers are the heart of our sport here in Ballarat. Without their passion and commitment, volleyball simply wouldn’t happen.
If you have an interest in the sport or a skill you’d like to contribute—whether it’s administration, coaching, event planning, marketing, or anything else—we’d love to hear from you. Please reach out to one of our committee members or via our email contact@volleyballballarat.com.au and find out how you can get involved.
