Volleyball has been played in regional Victoria since the early-1960’s. During those early days, most competitions, like the founders of our great sport, were run by, or in conjunction with, the YMCA. Competitions were running at the Ballarat School of Mines and the YMCA’s of Bendigo, Geelong and Warrnambool. In August 1966, an invitation was extended by the Victorian Amateur Volleyball Association to play in the first State-wide event at Monash University. Geelong and Bendigo accepted the invitation with Melbourne represented by Sisu. For Bendigo players at least, this was the first exposure to ‘international rules’, which prevented upward scoops with open hands, introduced an action called a ‘dig’ and seemed to penalise most overhead actions using the fingers as ‘double hits’! Over the next few years, the sport expanded through the YMCA movement with weekly competitions starting up in Ararat, Warrnambool and Latrobe Valley. The Victorian Regional Council of YMCA’s proposed the first Victorian YMCA Championship in Warrnambool on 30th March 1968 with an entry fee of $4.00 per team. The sport continued to grow with additional regional associations affiliating with the Victorian Amateur Volleyball Association (now VVI) who provided the coaching and refereeing assistance needed to raise the standard of play. In 1970, the YMCA Championships started to give way to the Victorian Country Championships with the first ever event held in Bendigo. In 1973, a re-organisation of the VAVA saw the proposal to create separate Victorian Country and Metropolitan Volleyball Councils. The VCVC was established in 1974 and took over the organisation of the Victorian Country Championships. For the next 10-12 years, the Country Championships grew in stature with the inclusion of two divisions for open men and women and junior divisions for boys and girls. Representative teams successfully contested Australian Country Championships between Victoria, South Australia and New South Wales on several occasions. In October 1985, the VCVC voluntarily wound up the Council and handed the responsibility for the Country Championships back to Volleyball Victoria, who by that time had full-time State Executive and Coaching Directors. Since that time, the Long Weekend in June has continued to be the date of the major annual volleyball event for most regional associations, even though in 1986 the Junior Country Championships were wound up in favour of state and national schools events. A number of regional associations have ceased to exist, as have a number of regional tournaments. Regional leagues were created in both the Gippsland and Central, North-West regions, with Gippsland the only one to survive. Some associations have successfully competed in the State League competitions at various times. Following the experience gained by a number of regional administrators working on the Sydney Olympic Games, a proposal to revamp the Victorian Country Championship was put to VVI in early 2002. Later that year, the Volleyball Victoria Country Championships Commission was formed to implement the recommendations of the review and take control of the event into the future. These championships now provide regional players and officials an opportunity to participate in a consistently well-managed event, using many international protocols and a high standard of presentation. Without doubt, this event now ranks as one of the best volleyball events in Australia. Source: 2022 Country Championship regulations The management of the Country Championships by the Victorian Country Championship Commission certainly achieved the objective of raising the standard of presentation, and delivering a consistently high quality event. However, the demands on Host Associations began to take their toll, with several Associations declining the opportunity to host the event due to the high workload. Similarly, the workload of the volunteer Commissioners also took its toll, with the Commission unable to fill casual vacancies. In 2023, the Commission handed the organisation of the Championships back to VVI, who with paid staff, were better equipped to manage the event.This item contains Correspondence of the Council in 1975 andreports on the Country Championships for that year; it include. the following documents: 11171.4a Three letters from VAVA Secretary Wolfgang Gollong 11171.4b Letter from Ballarat YMCA Volleyball Association 11171.4c Letter from Swan Hill Volleyball Association 11171.4d Letter from Geelong Amateur Volleyball Association 11171.4e Letter from Latrobe Valley Volleyball Association April 1975 11171.4f Letter from the Ballarat YMCA Volleyball Association 11171.4g Three letters from VAVA Secretary Wolfgang Gollong 11171.4h Letter to Joe Hiller re refereeing at the Country Championships 11171.4i Letter to Eric Hayman President of VAVA re Asian Championships 11171.4j Letter from Ballarat Volleyball re registration of players 11171.4k Letter from Bendigo YMCA Volleyball association list of office bearers 11171.4l Letter from Ballarat Volleyball re rule books 11171.4m Letter from Ballarat re referees for finals 11171.4n Letter from VAVA apology from Eric Hayman 11171.4o 1975 Country Championships Conditions 11171.4p 1975 Country Championships Teams Registration forms 11171.4q 1975 Country Championships Team entry forms 11171.4r Letters from VAVA re State Coaches 11171.4s Treasurer Report Sept 1975 11171.4t Letter to all associations re contact information 11171.4u Telegram from Swan Hill Volleyball 11171.4v Letter to VAVA Secretary re Meeting Wangaratta June 1975 11171.4w Notices from VAVA re Australian Tournaments 11171.4x List of Accommodation for Bendigo Country Championships 11171.4y VCVC Financial Statement 32 Aug 1976 11171.4z Two letters from VAVA Olympic team Appeal and Coaches Course 11171.4aa Agenda VCVC Meetings Morwell Dec 1975 11171.4ab Letter from Ballarat Volleyball re Australian Volleyball Constitution 11171.4ac VCVC List of Executive Contactsvictorian country volleyball council, vcvc, victorian amateur volleyball association, volleyball victoria
