We have some exciting news and updates to share first.
HARBOUR VOLLEYBALL STRIKE 3x GOLD AT IPC
The 2024 VNZ IPC was another very successful tournament for Harbour Volleyball! Our Senior Men and Women went for the Double Gold, both taking out the championship at the end of the 3-day tournament in Wellington over Kings Birthday Weekend. Our U19 Boys also brought home a gold medal in a thrilling final. And our U17 Girls brought home the bronze medal, while our U19 Girls fell 2 points shy of winning another bronze to finish 4th. As always we are very proud of how our 11 teams represented Harbour Volleyball both on and off the court.
