Queensland Beach Schools Cup
The postponed Queensland Beach Schools Cup event will be held this coming weekend, the 27th and 28th of July, and has generated incredible excitement, with an eager 120 students opting to compete despite it being the middle of winter. This overwhelming participation demonstrates our athletes' genuine love for the game regardless of season or weather conditions. Their enthusiasm to embrace any competitive opportunity perfectly reflects our culture of elite competitors who are always ready to have a go and challenge themselves. We are excited to see our young competitors play hard and grow through this opportunity.
Senior Schools Cup: Final Chapter for Year 12 Athletes
As we are preparing for Queensland Beach Schools Cup, we are simultaneously preparing for the Senior Schools Cup, where we look forward to watching our Year 12 athletes compete for their final time as EVP representatives. This competition holds special significance as these senior athletes conclude their high school volleyball journey, having contributed significantly to our program's culture and success. We anticipate seeing them demonstrate the character, commitment, and competitiveness they have developed throughout their time in the EVP and look forward to cheering them on at their final Queensland Schools Cup event.
