IPC – KING’S BIRTHDAY WEEKEND, WELLINGTON

IPC is the pinnacle representative event for the season.

All players and staff must:

• Travel together

• Stay together

• Participate fully in all team activities

There is no opt-out for transport or accommodation

IPC Cost 

“In 2025, IPC costs were around $1,300 per player estimate . Thanks to grants, athletes fundraised half(or paid)  and Volley South got grants this reduced the remaining balance to zero for all athletes who participated.”

For 2026, we aim to repeat this model through:

• Payment plans can start ASAP, if not selected can be refunded

• Grants

• Group fundraising

• Individual athlete fundraising

Full financial expectations will be released before the training camp.
