The Tasmanian Echidnas are back in 2023! After an incredible 2022 season, expressions of interest are now open for 2023.

The format has changed this year to a 6-team format called the Australian Volleyball Super League. There will also be an AVL 2nd division running in 2023. While negotiations are ongoing in relation to the exact nature of our participation, we are confident in our proposal for the Super League and know that regardless of the outcome, we will provide participants with an incredible season of volleyball. More detailed information will be available in February.

If you would like to be part of the Echidnas, your first step is to contact our coaches to express your interest.

It’s important to remember that we’re competing on the national stage and building a permanent pathway for our youngsters to the elite level in Australia. Please consider the following expectations we have for our athletes:

• Engagement with local competitions and state league
• Commitment to improvement through strength & conditioning and court training
• Abiding by the Volleyball Tasmania Code of Conduct
• Availability during the season – likely to be three home rounds and three away rounds between August and September (yet to be finalised by Volleyball Australia)
• Commitment to assisting with fundraising and promotional activities.

The cost per player is likely to be around $2500. This includes all training costs, uniform and travel costs. This cost will be lowered upon the signing of major sponsors, which is an area the club is constantly working on.

All players who are selected for a training squad will be asked to pay a $250 training fee at the start of the training period. This fee is part of the $2500 figure above.

If you think you have what it takes to play at the highest level in Australia, we would love to hear from you! Please click apply and provide a brief history of your volleyball experience by February 27 2023.
