Event description

WELCOME!

Adelaide Spikers Volleyball Club is an LGBTQIA+ club that welcomes anyone interested in social volleyball in a safe, supportive and all-inclusive environment!

We offer social and non-competitive style games of mixed abilities. Each team is allocated randomly to encourage players to mingle and get to know each other!

It is essential that you pre-purchase your ticket as we often sell out and can't guarantee a spot will free up. Please check-in on time to avoid delays in the team allocation process.

We can't wait to meet you!
