Finding a Partner

If you have never played before, it can be difficult to find someone with whom to “partner up”. The following are a few suggestions on how you can find a partner to take you to the finals!

• Attending tournaments: Many players come along to tournaments in search of a playing partner, as well as to check out the action. Let the tournament manager know that you’re looking for a partner, and he or she will keep an eye out for anyone else that is looking around on the day. You won’t be able to play on the day, but you might pick up a partner for the next event.

• Email: VACT; maintains a list of people that are looking for partners. Email and put your name down on the list, and they might be able to give you the name of someone else that is also looking. Send messages to: admin@volleyballact.com.au

• Training: Come to a training session and play with lots of people and find one to play in the events with.

• The Player Network: once you get to know a few people, you’ll find that most partnerships are made through direct contact. Get to know the other players in your pool, or just hang out in the player’s tent. Before long, you’ll find someone that is ready to switch!

Note:VACT are not responsible for matching up players, but will assist in putting you in contact with interested parties where possible.
