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 downonthelist,andtheymightbeableto 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.
