Rottnest Island Competition
Volleyball WA have been working with the Rottnest Island Authority to organise an inaugural beach volleyball event. After substantial planning and research the 2019 event has regrettably been postponed until 2020. Volleyball WA, with the assistance of the Rottnest Island Authority, have been in contact with potential sponsors to help make the competition as affordable as possible for participants and families. Unfortunately Volleyball WA have been unable to secure a sponsor to proceed with the competition at this time. Volleyball WA will continue to work with the Rottnest Island Authority to find a solution for an event in the upcoming future.

The City of Stirling have notified Volleyball WA that a large scale National event is now set for the 23rd and we have agreed to move the competition to the 30th and 31st of March. Volleyball WA apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
