The ONE DAY Otago Volley Fest Tournament took place on 27th December 2024 at Pembroke Park in Wanaka, offering a fantastic day of grass volleyball under the summer sun. Teams of all ages came together for a lively mix of competition, laughter, and community spirit, making it a highlight of the holiday season.
We were thrilled with the turnout of 15 teams who had come from the likes of Dunedin and Invercargill, as well as having teams comprised of Wanaka locals! The tournament featured four different grades: Open (18+), Secondary School (Y9-Y13), Primary/Intermediate School Age, and a Family Group category, which required at least two players under the age of 18. The first round of games started at 9:00am with the final games held around 3:00pm.
We could not have had such a successful day without the help of the volunteers who assisted us with the preparation of the event as well as the set up and pack down on the day! Our thanks also extend out to our sponsors whose contributions ranged from donating spot prizes, equipment use, playing balls, and support with the event.
