Events Attended by AVWThe best part about the Australian Volleyball Warehouse is that we get to go out on the road. We get to travel to some of the best volleyball events in the country. We just wish that we could attend every one. When we go to an event, we don't take our spare shop thats stored in the back of a crowded factory somewhere, we actually pack up all of our clothes and racks and shoes and volleyball and the rest of the assorted bits we have into boxes and toss them into the back of a van or two and head out on the road... Sometimes it is the tyranny of distance that stops us from travelling, sometimes it is family, sometimes it commitments to our own volleyball teams. We do try our absolute darndest to get to as many as possible, and when we do arrive, it is always worth the trip. Below is a list of the ones that we shall be attending this year.
