Training schedule will be provided to players selected in teams and Shadow players when provisional teams are annouced. Schedule will also be published in the website.

Shadow Players

Shadow Players will be selected during trials and will train with the squad during pre-season before Round 1. In the event a spot becomes available in a team, the coaches will select suitable Shadow Players to fill the spot. All Shadow Players must register and pay the Shadow Player fee to train with the squad and to be considered for teams if the opportunity arises. Should a Shadow Player be placed in a team, they will pay the difference between the Shadow Player fee and the full season fee.

Other Information

Club Expectations of our Members

Please see Conditions of Membership for our formal conditions of membership that every member must agree to before becoming a member of the club. In essence this boils down to:

  1. Play nicely with everyone, especially our younger members.
  2. Fulfil your commitments (registrations, payments, games, duties) when possible, and seek help/let us know when you can't.
  3. Display sportsmanship at all times.
  4. Respect the opposition teams and officials at all times.
  5. Fulfil your commitments (registrations, payments, games, duties) as best as you can, and get in touch with our coaches in advance when you can't.

Additional points specific to junior teams:

  1. Arrive at least 15 minutes to set up and get ready so training can start on-time.
  2. We are unable to take responsibility for any issues that may occur outside of the training time and venue. Our duty of care towards the child is during training session times and inside the training venue. For safety reasons, we recommend juniors wait inside the sports hall for parents to pick them up from there.
  3. There is zero tolerance with any form of bullying and vulgarity in any of our junior activities. We ask junior players to be mindful with your choice of words and posting photos/videos of others in social media platforms.

  4. Proper sports-wear and indoor court shoes must be worn to train and play! Spaghetti strap singlets (for girls) and denim are considered not suitable for indoor volleyball, especially for safety reasons.

Volleyball Queensland (VQ) Membership

As an affiliate club with Volleyball Queensland, each player must have a current Volleyball Queensland membership to participate in our programs. PVL requires a minimum membership level of 'Full'. Following registration for the PVL event, we will direct you to the Volleyball Queensland membership page, so that you can get that sorted. Please see VQ Membership Requirements for more information.

Registering

All players will receive email on trial outcomes. If you are offered a place in a team, you must accept the offer, register for PVL 2023, and renew/apply your VQ membership.
