Volleyball Queensland (VQ) is a not-for-profit, member-based organisation that aims to increase participation in all forms of volleyball throughout Queensland. Established in 1969, VQ is supported by 37 affiliated clubs and associations spanning from Cairns to the Gold Coast.
VQ provides volleyball opportunities for players of all ages and skill levels through their competitive, recreational, and school-based events. They organise tournaments, leagues, and events that cater to both experienced players and those new to the sport. Whether you're a seasoned player looking for the thrill of competition or a novice looking to try something new, VQ has something for you.
As part of their commitment to promoting the sport of volleyball, VQ works closely with Volleyball Australia and other state and territory volleyball associations. Together, they strive to further the sport nationally and compete in Australian Championships for both beach and indoor volleyball.
Volleyball Queensland is governed by an elected Board of Management and generates financial resources through various activities, including competitions, leagues, feature events, and corporate partnerships. They also receive grant funding from the Queensland Government, which further supports their mission.
The vision of Volleyball Queensland is to offer an inclusive range of competitions, create opportunities for players, coaches, referees, volunteers, and administrators, and ensure there are accessible locations to play the sport. Their mission is to foster a volleyball community in Queensland that provides lifelong opportunities to engage with the sport.
In line with their values, VQ aims to be inclusive, ensuring that everyone can “jump on a court” and participate in volleyball. They also prioritise equity, creating a gender-neutral sport and fostering a community that celebrates diversity. Above all, VQ values respect, promoting a positive and respectful environment for all participants.
Volleyball Queensland is dedicated to growing the sport and creating a vibrant volleyball community in Queensland. By offering a range of programmes and events, they aim to engage players of all ages and skill levels, bringing the joy of volleyball to individuals across the state.
