CitySide Sports – Volleyball is a vibrant and exciting volleyball club located in Braybrook, Australia. Operating at the state-of-the-art 4-court indoor sports centre, the club offers Hardcourt Volleyball competitions on Monday and Wednesday evenings. The club hires the courts from RecWest Braybrook (YMCA) to ensure a high-quality sporting experience for its members.
One of the standout features of CitySide Sports – Volleyball is the absence of an entry fee at RecWest Braybrook. This means that both players and spectators can enjoy the games without any charge at the door. This inclusive approach aims to make the sport accessible to everyone, regardless of financial constraints.
The club features four divisions in both the Monday and Wednesday Volleyball competitions, providing opportunities for players of different skill levels to participate and compete. The game start times for Monday Volleyball are from 6:45pm to 9:25pm, while Wednesday Volleyball starts at 9:25pm. Additionally, if the Braybrook nights do not suit, the club offers a nearby competition in Footscray on Tuesday evenings, with two divisions available.
CitySide Sports – Volleyball is part of the larger CitySide Sports organisation, which is Melbourne's premier social sporting competition provider. In addition to Volleyball, the club offers a range of other sports, including netball and indoor beach volleyball. Netball competitions are available in various locations across Melbourne, including Richmond, Footscray, Clifton Hill, Preston, and Doncaster. Meanwhile, Hardcourt Volleyball competitions are held not only in Braybrook but also in Footscray, Reservoir, and Bundoora.
CitySide Sports also owns an indoor rebound beach volleyball centre in Brunswick, which can be hired for casual games, social and corporate events, and even glow-in-the-dark volleyball. The venue also boasts a licenced bar, adding to the vibrant atmosphere.
CitySide Sports has a strong reputation for its netball competitions, having opened its first venue in Clifton Hill in 2007. It has since become the largest provider of social netball in Melbourne, with a total of eight different locations. The club takes pride in its excellent service, dedicated umpires, and community involvement. Through various charity initiatives, CitySide Sports has raised over $111,000 for organisations such as headspace, MND Vic, and SANDS Victoria.
When it comes to netball, CitySide Sports goes above and beyond to ensure a pleasant and enjoyable experience for its players. The club provides nail tape for players who need it, eliminating the need to purchase a whole roll for just a few nails. The bibs used in the games are freshly washed and clean for every match, a testament to the club's commitment to maintaining hygiene standards. Additionally, the club offers comprehensive insurance coverage for players, providing peace of mind in case of any injuries.
The enthusiastic and active umpires at CitySide Sports are dedicated to ensuring fair play and an enjoyable game for all participants.
