WELCOME FROM VOLLEYBALL AUSTRALIA PRESIDENT
Welcome to the Australian Junior Beach Volleyball Championships.
To all teams, welcome to Scarborough, we hope that this week’s event is challenging, rewarding and most of all
ENJOYABLE.
This year’s competition is being hosted by Volleyball WA in conjunction with Volleyball Australia, and we are excited to
be back in the home state of so many great Australian athletes, Olympians and coaches. The Australian Junior Beach
Volleyball Championships (AJBVC) is the premier competition for Australia’s junior beach volleyballers and is the
foundation for participation in the Australian Beach Volleyball Series and underage FIVB championships. Our sport of
Volleyball is experiencing a renewed enthusiasm in Australia and globally, following the success of the Rio Olympics.
We are also excited by the inclusion of the inaugural beach volleyball competition in the Commonwealth Games on the
Gold Coast in 2018. This also creates Youth Commonwealth Games participation opportunities in 2017.
Beach Volleyball in Australia has undergone considerable development post Rio as we prepare for Gold Coast 2018
and Tokyo 2020, A new coaching structure, the introduction of new Centres of Excellence nationwide and a new
National Pathways Program will provide to our junior and development beach volleyball athletes an exciting future in
our sport.
Each of you are part of that momentum for growth and improvement. We thank you for participating, we thank you for
your commitment and we trust you will find in your sport of Volleyball great opportunity and create great memories.
The next generation of Australia’s beach volleyball elite players is amongst you, so take this opportunity for excellence
and enjoy the competition. Your very participation here at this event will lift the overall standard of the competition, will
enhance the performances of your colleagues and your opponents and you will have a very real impact on the future of
our sport and those that will represent themselves, their schools, universities, clubs, state associations and Australia in
the future. We thank you for participating and making this important contribution.
The most important rule in our sport is respect. In winning our success is benchmarked against the quality of our
competitors and we all respect that contribution to our success. We also respect those that succeed against us, and
acknowledge their efforts, discipline and training to succeed. We respect our officials that often volunteer long hours to
support our great sport and our administrators, coaches and technical advisors that have one objective every day – to
improve the standard of your competition and to bring out the best in our young athletes. We respect those in our
personal lives that assist us, encourage us and motivate us to participate in this great sport of volleyball. In all of this
we encourage your respect for your sport and its rules and the beautiful environment in WA.
Welcome and good luck to you. We hope the sport and this opportunity will bring out the best in you as a participant
and as a person.

teams within the pool.
If two teams are on competition points after pool play / round robin is completed their point ratio (calculation below) will be
compared for all pool matches played. If a tie still exists the head to head result of the teams will determine ranking.
If three or more teams are tied on competition points after pool play / round robin is completed their point ratio (calculation
below) will be compared for the matches between those teams. If a tie exists then point ratio will be compared for all matches
played in the pool / round robin. If a tie still exists after this a drawing of lots will occur.
Points ratio is calculated by the following formula:
