The guys are working hard and really looking forward to the weekend. Fantastic that Mildura, its community, its juniors, its sponsors etc have all rallied to put this tournament on - thankyou all very much. The crowd will be great to play in front of, and its great that our lesser profile sport (unfortunately!) can be taken to a regional centre and have what some cities are unable to provide, and be recognised for the great sport and spectacle that volleyball is. Great precursor to the future. Go Mildura! Mt Lofty Volleyball Club are thrilled to be invited to take part in this inaugural tournament.

Lets face it, volleyball in the cities can be "swallowed up" by the more parochial sports, but put the sport at a high level in a smaller town and there would be a lot more interest. If the volleyball team is the only sports team representing the town on a national level, it would be more attractive to sponsors, there more interest locally...they might even start filling a few smaller stadiums. Great job Mildura- hopefully this may serve as an example of what is possible with a little organisation, initiative and passion. Perhaps they are on to something here.

Good to see that organisations like Nowra and Mildura can do more than the national federation can do. I remember the publicity, crowds and tshirts that we got from that week end and how easy it was to organise. good work guys and if you are looking to organise anymore tournaments i recommend that you contact shoalhaven volleyball association Anyone remember the Spike Fest AVL week end that happened in Nowra NSW two AVl seasons ago and how well that went.

I concur with what you say Devo, a small organisation can come up with something great, but the National body can't, unbelievable!
