Warrnambool Volleyball Association

Welcome to the South West Pirates!

The Warrnambool Volleyball Association has a long and proud history of introducing players to one of the world’s most popular non-contact sports.

Our programs include junior and senior competitions, as well as representative squads for elite players. Squads train weekly in preparation for a number of state tournaments throughout the year, including our own annual Seaside event, held on the Labour Day long weekend each March, which is one of Australia’s longest running volleyball carnivals.

We would like to extend our continued thanks to our sponsors.

Seaside wrap up 2025Another successful weekend for seaside this year. Congrats to all the teams that won in there respective divisions. A big thank you to all the teams, family’s and especially volunteers that helped out over the weekend, we wouldn’t be able to put on an amazing tournament without them!Division 1 Men coached by Craig Gibbs:“Seaside saw our Men’s Div 1 side again put their continued hard training into practice over the weekend. After the usual sluggish start we managed to hit top gear and played some nice volleyball on the Saturday. Unfortunately Sat afternoons game saw us lose a key player which changed the structure of game play but all players adapted well, playing positions they aren’t completely used too but with good effect. This continued through for Sundays games. Overall, we only dropped 2 games across the weekend (both close losses) but we had enough points and % that we made it into the finals. Unfortunately, we weren’t good enough to pull the win off, finding ourselves outclassed against the team that went on to win the division. All in all a great weekend, everyone played their role and played it well, and we look forward to our next tournament.”Division 3 men coached by Isaac Hussey “The team went into the weekend excited to prove what we can bring to the court. Our team was well prepared with some experienced players coming into the mix to bring their wealth experience and knowledge. Our first games are usually a slow start but the boys come out to prove a point. With a strong start and some close games on Saturday. We come out undefeated with 3 wins and 1 draw. Going into Sunday we faced Bendigo who were also in the same position. With 3 wins and a draw, With a closely competitive division it was a must win game to qualify us for the semi final. The boys showed there class and were able to beat Bendigo in what was our best game of the weekend. Everything seemed to click and the boys were playing some absolutely amazing volleyball. We went into the semi final confident we could replicate this performance. Unfortunately after a hard thought 3 setter. We couldn’t get the job done. It’s a rough way to get knocked out right at the end. But all the boys should be so proud of what we accomplished over the weekend. I have no doubt that come this same time next year. The story will end differently. Couldn’t have asked for any better from anyone over the weekend. Can’t wait to see what we can do come the next tournament this year. ... See MoreSee Less
