Play Volleyball in Gladstone
Gladstone Volleyball Association currently runs a local competition with 2 divisions to cater for beginners and social players to more advanced players. Seasons run between February and November with breaks for public holidays and school holidays. Our competition runs on Tuesday & Thursday nights (B-Mixed Social Comp) from 5:15 & 6pm respectively, and also on Tuesdays (A-Mixed Competitive Comp) from 7:45pm.
We run 2 seasons a year. Each season has 1-2 casual volleyball rounds, which allow people to try the game, build skill and find or create teams for new individual players. Following this are a series of regular rounds with a round robin format for each division and 2 rounds of finals. The finals format varies depending on the number of teams.
Match format = Fast Fours (B Mixed)
The first match commences at 5:15pm (Tues) & 6pm (Thurs) and all matches finish by 7:45 (Tues) and 9:00pm (Thurs). Matches are 40 minutes + a 5 minute warm up. Each match consists of up to 4 sets. Each set is scored first 15 points (minimum margin of 2 points). If all 4 sets are not completed in 45 minutes, then the winner of the final set is determined by points played. One team must score at least 8 points in the final set for set points to be awarded. After winning 3 consecutive points the server must rotate.
Teams are required to provide a referee and scorer for duty as per the season draw.
Match format A Mixed
Warm-up commences 7:45pm Tuesday and all matches finish by 9:00pm. In A Mixed we play 3 sets to 25 points with a 2 point lead in each set. 2 courts will be in use with players rostered to each of the 'Championship' and 'Premier' courts for the season. Players must nominate their intention to play A-MIxed when registering for the season and entry to division is subject to selection criteria and numbers.
