WARRIORS BV

WE'RE FULL! BUT, WE HAVE A WAIT LIST.

We know! It's the start of October, and we're already full for a camp in late April! And, that's with us opening our backup 4 spots. We're super thankful that we're in this position, but also aware that peeps and plans don't always work out. For this reason, we'll be keeping a wait list open just in case one of our confirmed crew has to pull out because... life.

Email info@warriorsbv.com to jump on the waiting list.

$20 TEES! LIMITED NUMBERS AND LIMITED TIME (AT THIS PRICE)!

We've been asked why we've not been doing Warriors tees over the last season or, outside of training camps, ever. The answer has been 'because peeps have been loving the playing singlets'. The response to that response has been... 'why not both?'

So, for ONE order, we're going to sell these tees at (about a dollar above) COST price.

We'll be printing on high quality AS Colour, unisex tees - plan to a male sizing (S,M,L,XL). We may be able to get some XS sizes in, but only if we get the numbers ordered to of that particular size.

Want a tee? Message Bam, with your size preference. Yes, we're only doing prints on a black tee for now; our next singlet is where you'll find the colour.

Payment via PayID or cash in person. If you're interstate, there will be an $11 charge (Aus Post) for standard delivery, which comes with insurance and tracking information.

If you've spotted our VBVA junior tees and want one of them, we can arrange that.

WE'RE GOING TO THE PHILIPPINES... AND WE'RE ALREADY HALF-FULL!

UPDATE: 2ND OCTOBER | We're full! But, as mentioned above, there's a wait list, so jump on it. .

_________________________

We're doing it again! In late April 2027 we're heading back to South East Asia. Where? Buruanga, in the Philippines. Never heard of Buruanga? Well, to be honest, we hadn't either. We were looking at Boracay, and stumbled across a fantastic boutique resort - Casa Loubel - with a great big bag of positive reviews... and two permanently erected beach volleyball courts, with floodlights. Only 25 minutes south of Caticlan port (the ferry port across to Boracay) on the west coast... perfectly sheltered, away from the North Easterly winds still blowing a touch in late April.

We'll be close enough to Boracay, to spend a midweek afternoon/evening playing at Station 3... and socialising in Station 2. It also means we can celebrate the LOVE Boracay Festival on the weekend concluding our camp.

Lock in these dates: 26th April - 1st May 2027

WHAT AN AWESOME LOCAL CAMP! THANKS FOR THE SUNSHINE, NEWCASTLE.

What a lovely first 'Local' camp! We had three fantastic Novocastrians, six exceptional peeps from Sydney and eight FIFO training crew from Melbourne. An advanced training camp, which brought out the best in all who attended, across three solid days.

Unusually high early Spring temps of 24, 30 and 24 degrees from Friday to Sunday meant 15 hours of solid training across three days would always be tough. But everyone pushed through and elevated the sessions.

A BIG THANKS

A big thanks to, in particular, Jordana and Murielle; two of our locals, who became our brains trust... and our climatologists, net maintenance aficionados and bar/pub/restaurant knowledge banks.

We trained for six hours, across two sessions on Friday, five on Saturday and four on Sunday. We lapped up the squeaky soft sand on Nobby's and the hustle and bustle of Newcastle Beach... with ZERO rain.

To make sure we catered to as many locals as possible, we also ran an awesome beginner/intermediate training session, too! Coached by one of our Asia camp coaches, Talia.

MU AND LEO WIN KQOTB

Congrats to Murielle and Leo, for stealing the crowns of some random Medieval Festival peeps, and proclaiming themselves the Kings and Queens of the camp... following an intense Ol'Skool King and Queen of the Beach. Their final point tallies ensured they would each secure a pair of sunglasses from one of the brand new styles dropping at the Deep Corner Moose site in early October.

On the back of this success, we're definitely going to head back to Newcastle; this could just be another annual event... speaking of which, Buruanga, Philippines is filling fast! Our next Asia camp is already half-full, and we haven't even started advertising beyond our previous crew and this site!

Thanks again, to all who who attended, both the advanced peeps and those who attended the Saturday midday session. We'll have more images from the camp, in the 'media' tab.

NEWCASTLE PEEPS: WE'RE RUNNING A TRAINING SESSION FOR THE LOCALS! WANT TO JOIN US?

Whether you're a beach volleyball diehard, or a beginner dipping your toes... if you live in or around the Newcastle area, we've got something for you. In conjunction with the Warriors training camp from the 4th - 6th September, we'll be running a 2 hour training session for all players, from advanced to beginner level. We'll have two coaches, across two courts, offering over three decades of experience... and that's just the old guy.

The best part... it's only $25 ($20 students) for the session. Spaces will be strictly limited, as we want you to get the most out of the session. If we fill the Saturday spaces, we will try to arrange a second session on Sunday, but don't bank on this.

So, if you weren't able to line up a spot in the camp, but you're keen to join us for a training session... get in touch (info@warriorsbv.com.au).

Saturday 5th September, from 12pm - 2pm.

Newcastle Beach (or Nobby's, depending on the wind)

NEWCASTLE CAMP 4TH - 6TH SEPTEMBER: IS NOW FULL!

You've been asking for it... so, we're doing it! Our first adult training camp inside the country!

We've been taking a whole big bunch of Australian and international peeps to some of the totally, bestest-like-eva locations in South East Asia - we've just had another in Khao Lak... and we've got another lined up for late April 2027 - but now we're also offering a localised training camp, in preparation for the start of the 26-27 beach season.

And we're doing it in Newcastle!

It's an easy flight or drive away... has great sand, well maintained courts, and we have a crew of locals who can show us why we should have done this sooner. The accommodation is reasonable and, according to the Bureau of Meteorology and weather is calm, dry and rolls around the 24 degree mark. Sounds perfect!

But this will be a little different to our usual camps. If you've been on one of our camps, think the 'Morning Hustle' but for ALL the sessions.

We need to prepare you for the start of the season... to make sure you can last through to finals. Yes, we'll go through technique, and you'll get to implement what we teach... through relentless repetition, serious hustle and some game-based fitness drills, focussing on turning defence into solid attack.

It'll be fun, definitely fun... but, ah... you'll feel it by Sunday.

Eight spaces for advanced women, Eight spaces for advanced men. Hopefully, we'll also be able to open up eight further spots for the lower/intermediate crew.

This will be a strictly limited camp.

SAMARA, CHRIS AND AMAN WIN THE 26 KHAO LAK INVITATIONAL EVENT!

The second official Asia Camp Invitational went down to a final playoff, as the top two teams were locked on the same points after a competitive Grand Final pool round, with eventual winners Samara, Chris and Aman of 'Family 5' taking the honours.

At our final group dinner the evening prior, a captain for each of eight teams of three were asked to place their hands into a sunglasses soft-case containing four dried pawpaw pieces and four dried pineapple pieces, spirited away earlier that morning from a rather lovely buffet breakfast. These dried fruits, would give us two pools: yellow and orange.

We are unsure whether these dried fruits were consumed.

TEAMS

Family 1: Talia, Helen and Julien

Family 2: Rob, Ted and Lori

Family 3: Jess, Elia and Luna

Family 4: Zabi, Antonia and Jo

Family 5: Aman, Chris and Samara

Family 6: Nasko, Chantella and Theresa

Family 7: Nick, Carlos and Joanne

Family 8: Brent, Brad and Marleen

--------

YELLOW POOL: 2, 4, 5 and 7 ORANGE POOL: 1, 3, 6 and 8

--------

The draw would see each pool play a 'Kings' format, with points earned only at the king end. After 20 minutes, the top two teams would move through into the Winner's bracket, whereas the bottom two would drop into the Loser's bracket. After the Second Round, the top two winners bracket teams would go directly into the Round Four finals. The bottom two from the Round Two Losers bracket would drop into the 5th-8th final group. The bottom two from the Winners bracket would drop into a Round Three pool. Top two head into the finals, the bottom two find themselves in the 5th-8th play-off.

Round One saw the Yellow pool top two, teams 7 and 5 move into the Winner's bracket Round 2, where they were joined by Orange pool top two, teams 1 and 8. Teams 4, 2, 3 and 6 dropped into the 'consolation' bracket. The Round Two Winners bracket saw teams 1 and 5 head straight to the Round Four 1st-4th finals. The bottom two teams, 7 and 8, dropped into the Losers bracket Round Three, where they were joined by teams 3 and 6. Teams 4 and 2 became the first teams into the 5th-8th final group.

Round Three saw teams 7 and 8 battle their way back, finding themselves into the 1st-4th Finals. 3 and 6 made their way into the 5th-8th final round.

In what could only happen on a perfect morning in a Khao Lak resort... two teams finished on the same points at the conclusion of the 20 minute finals. A 'best of five' winner-takes-all play-off between Nick, Carlos & Joanne (Family 7), and Samara, Chris & Aman (Family 5), saw the latter pinch the prizes.

The final standings:

1st: 5, 2nd: 7, 3rd: 8, 4th: 1, 5th: 3, 6th: 2, 7th: 6, 8th: 4
