Frequently Asked Questions

I missed pre-season training & team selection.  Can I still join a team to compete in the VVL?

Renegades welcomes all potential players to come along & join the club at any stage of the year.  Players should come along to training on the appropriate night and discuss the matter with the coaches.  Entry into VVL is not permitted after Round 7, however there may be an opportunity to train with squads in preparation for post-season tournaments.

What are the fees?

All members that play VVL are expected to pay Club Membership, VVL Competition Fees & VVI Player Registration Fees.  The actual amounts owed vary depending on whether the member is a High-school student, university student or Non-Student.  Melbourne Uni students receive the largest fee subsidy.  Fees are to be paid in full before a player takes to the court.  Payment plans are available on request.

Can I train only?

If you cannot committ to the whole VVL season but have reasonable esxperience playing volleyball, you may be able to take part in training only.  Coaches can tell you if this is an option depending on team numbers.  Alternatively, social volleyball is available on Tuesday nights.

Where do I buy my uniform?

Playing tops are provided by the club in exchange for a bond.  The bond is returned to team managers at the end of the year once all tops from the team have been received.  Plain black shorts (bike shorts/spandex for the ladies) are not provided.

Club tracksuits are mandatory for all players at a cost of $120.  Other merchandise (including socks & drink bottles) are also available.
