Phantoms Committee
While our committee has been elected post the AGM if you feel like you could contribute to the club on our board in anyway we encourage any of our Associations, our members or others linked to the Club to get in contact with our President Ben Hassell or any other current committee member or alternately email info@phantomsvolleyball.com.au to discuss possible roles or joining the committee for 2024.
The role of the committee is critically important to the function and survival of any volunteer run organisation so we encourage you to consider how you might contribute to the future direction of the Club off the court, as well as on it. You can nominate as a full Committee Member or as a “Shadow” member where you are mentored by an existing member to understand the processes and responsibilities. Perfect for a first time person wanting to get invovled.

The 2020 Committee would like to acknowledge the unprecedented operating environment of the Covid-19 year and in particular pay tribute to our outgoing President Paul Byrne for the leadership he has shown in growing the club over the duration of his tenure as President and ensuring its survival through these uniquely challenging times. Paul has built strong on strong relationships for the club with key stakeholder, overseen continued financial stability and growth and most importantly, ensured that the safety and welfare of all our members and their communities was at the forefront of the club’s decision making during the year. The Committee would also like to thank Josh Gordon for his vigilance and diligence in identifying and successfully applying for grants to ensure only a minimal loss was made by the club in 2020. This was also made possible by the extreme generosity of many of our members and their family members who took out Associate Memberships in 2020, knowing that they would not be able to use them but their commitment would ensure the continued financial stability of Phantoms. Thank you!
The 2020 Phantoms Volleyball Club Committee met on several occasions throughout the 2019-2020 season. A copy of each of the minutes from the meetings can be downloaded below.

Phantoms would like to thank the 2019 Committee who have guided the Club through another growth period with 9 VVL teams including a full compliment of Women’s and Men’s teams plus an additional Division 2 Men’s team. The Club is in a strong financial and membership position and continues to grow it’s playing base but must also plan for the future. The Committee would like to thank all the coaches, players, administrators, parents and families for their commitment and efforts over the 2019 VVL season. It is an enormous commitment in time, travel and money but one we trust is worth the investment. In particular the Club would like to thank one of it’s foundation members and driving forces who helped take Phantoms from the infancy of an idea to fully established VVL Club, David Berry. Dave’s continued commitment to make Phantoms what it is today and create an elite pathway into senior volleyball for all regional players has been one of our pillars of success.
