UPDATES:

2009 : World Championship Qualification Yes! Yes! YES!! World Championship qualification. We have qualified after beating Thailand and China have beaten India giving us a guaranteed 2nd and qualification in the World Championships. A satisfying result for us all and well deserved. We outplayed both India and Thailand with clinical performances. Thailand have a very variable attack, we adjusted well and dominated the net with our block. Now its a chance to test ourselves against China. Its a great day for Australian volleyball. RESULTS...

2008 : The major competition was the Olympic qualification tournament in Japan. A very disappointing finish with us not qualifying for the Olympics. CLICK HERE for Olympic Qualification game reviews. The team did alot of travelling in preparation for this tournament. CLICK HERE for game reviews.

2007 : Competing at the World Cup 2007 was a first for Australia. We finished 8th and we had some tough games. We won the Asians and Commonwealth Championships in 2007. The Asian Championships was especially satisfying. I personally have tried 6 times to win Asians and I think the team could feel that this was our year. We had an unbelievable amount of tension and suspense with Japan losing the last game of the competition to give us the title.
