In 2022, it’s estimated a whopping 3.4 million Australians stepped up to the plate, not as players, but as the unsung heroes in the sport and active recreation sector. Astonishingly, over 90% of these superheroes—3.1 million to be precise—were volunteers. They are the backbone, the heartbeat, and the true champions of our sporting community. From coaches to administrators, managers to board members, these volunteers make our volleyball world go ’round. 

Enter the Spotlight: Volunteer of the Month Award! 

Fast forward to October 2023, and the Volleyball WA Board decided it was time to give these incredible volunteers the recognition they deserve. And so, the Volunteer of the Month Award was born! However, we’ve noticed a shortage of nominations, and we’re on a mission to change that. 

Our First Winner: Rowan Simpson from Perth Scorpions Volleyball Club!
Volleyball WA proudly announced Rowan Simpson from Perth Scorpions Volleyball Club as the inaugural recipient of the Volunteer of the Month Award.
