The 23/24 beach season has come to an end, but this doesn’t mean we stop training… no, we go all through winter. It’s the best time of year to get to grips with the elements, master technique and let those who move indoors marvel at your ability to brave the harsh conditions 4 to 6 weeks of an El Nino plagued Melbourne will bring. 

The winter schedule offers weekend sessions, both on a Saturday and Sunday. As we have lost quite a few of our elite crew to the AVA, interstate/country based universities, and international scholarships and travel, we are going to open the Sunday sessions a little more. Saturday sessions will continue in almost an identical way to the summer schedule, only 30 minutes later for all starts. 

Here is the breakdown of the Winter schedule (as of 13/04/2024):

WarriorsBV, VBVA and Vic Beach have come together for a camp in Khao Lak, Thailand from the 9th – 14th September 2024.It will be our first international camp.

Although it is targeted at an adult training group, we are accepting under 18s for training, but they must be accompanied by an adult or guardian.

The well known Robinson resort is the host venue. It’s a family friendly hotel, with five pools, and a range of sporting and recreational options. 

The camp itself will include twice-daily training sessions, as well as social evening play under lights. It will conclude with an inter-crew mini tournament.

A lot happened in Season 23/24… there were wins across all divisions at state level; some great results on the national tour and some podium finishes at the Youth Champs in Coolangatta.

So, let’s look back on the best results. We had very few playing the first round as it conflicted with junior competition… so, let’s start with:

VicBeach State Tour

Round 3 (Which came before Round 2)

In Open AA Women, Hilary and Lucy beat Jess and her partner James 18-9, 18-11, to win the division and give themselves an invite to AAA – the highest division in the state. In the final of Open A Women, Shalomi and partner Ellie beat Ella and her partner Ruby 18-13, 18-15. 

---

Round 2 (Which followed Round 3)

In Open AA Women, Gemma and Emma cruise through their final to win the division, beating Leah and Isadora in the semi. Max and Gui lose a tight semi in the Open AA Men’s division. Bobby and Brock took out the Open B Men’s, edging past Sanjhit and Jin in the final. They beat Remo and Seb in the semi. Jack and his partner Tate lost the other semi.

Round 4

Only a small number of the crew competed in the fourth round of the Vic Beach Series. Leah, playing with partner Alma, lost their first AA final. At the other end of the beach Jack and partner Lewis grabbed top spot in the Open Men’s B division.

Round 5

Max and Will – back on holidays from the AVA – lost a tight three-setter in the semi’s of Men’s AAA. In the Women’s AAA, Evie and Lucia lost their semi to eventual winners Anna and Daisy, having played almost immediately after beating Gemma and Emma in a tough quarter. Talia stepped back to AA to partner with sis Shalomi, losing a closely fought semi. Jess and partner Ellie-May lost the other semi. Ryan and partner Lucas took out the A division.

Round 6

Klaas, playing with partner Ben rolled through AA Men’s, as did Jess and her partner James in the AA Women’s… both winning their finals in straight sets. 

---

Round 7

Fresh from winning AA, Klaas and partner Ben blew up the script, and took out the AAA Men’s division, beating Justin and OG VBVA crew member Garang in the final. In the AA Women’s division Hilary and Lucy won their second AA event, beating Leah and Audrey in the semi’s. Isadora and her partner Alma lost the other semi.

James and Max bagged a 13th in the double elimination format. Evie and Lucia finished 7th in the Women’s AAA division; Emily and partner Olivia finished 9th. Talia, Emma and their respective partners finished 13th. Gui, Jayvier and Jack all made the AA Men’s quarters, and Remo and Jin lost 18-20 in the third set of a tight B final.
