Volleyball NZ Club Nationals 2025 – We’re Bringing Home Medals!

What an incredible week in Hamilton — our teams have done us proud!

Southern Storm Women – Silver (Division 4)

Tavalu – Bronze (Division 4 Men)

Southern Storm Men – Top 8 finish (7th overall)

We couldn’t be prouder of the effort, growth, and spirit shown by every athlete. You’ve represented South passion and pride — now it’s time for a well-earned rest!

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has been part of our Development and Performance Programme over the past 12 months — our dedicated volunteer coaches, managers, board, and staff. Your vision, time, and energy make all of this possible.

To every parent, caregiver, and whānau member who has driven to practices, warm-up games, and tournaments, helped fundraise, or simply cheered from the sidelines — thank you. Your support means everything.

We also give thanks to God for blessing us all throughout this journey.

And to our funders, sponsors, supporters, and the amazing ILT Stadium Southland — your continued support allows our athletes to chase their dreams.

What’s next?

Trials for 2026 will be held on Saturday, 18 October.

We’ll have a light pre-Christmas build-up before focusing on:

Lower South Island Championships – Dunedin

VNZ IPC – Wellington (King’s Birthday Weekend)

Southern Zone & Club Nationals for those progressing on that pathway.

Let’s keep the momentum going — the future is bright for South volleyball
