Social League
About Social League
Social League are local competitions run by Brisbane Volleyball Club. We have a range of divisions to cater to all levels of player (beginner to more advanced), and we are constantly aiming to add divisions to cater to our players at each competition.
Seasons run all year around and only break for Public Holidays and a week off between seasons. Not only do we have multiple divisions, we also offer multiple venues and days of the week.
Our current Competitions on offer are:- Monday @ The Gap & South Brisbane
- Tuesday @Kedron & Banyo
- Wednesday @ Kelvin Grove & South Brisbane
- Thursday @ The Gap & Banyo
League Format
Social League consists of multiple seasons a year. Each season has Grading Rounds at the start to confirm Divisions for all teams, or to help find teams for new individual players.
We then run a series of regular rounds, where every team plays a Round Robin format against other teams in their division. Each season finishes with at least 2 rounds of finals.
The finals format varies each season depending on the number of teams entered in each division.
Match Format - Indoor Volleyball
Matches start at 6:20pm (earliest), and all matches are finished by 9:40pm. All matches are timed, so we always run on-time.
Matches are 50minutes, and we provide a 5-minute on court warm-up for teams.
Each match has 3 sets. The first two sets are scored first to 25 points, and the final set is played until the match time runs out. Any third and final sets finishing tied on points will play three more points until one team has a one-point lead.
Costs - Indoor Volleyball
Match Fees are $66 per team per match (inc. GST)
Match Fees are accepted via any of the following installments and payment methods:
- Weekly
- Part-Season
- Full Season
Teams who fail to pay overdue fees in a timely manner may be excluded from the draw and/or subsequent seasons.
Forfeits within 24 hours of the game will incur the regular game fee. Teams that forfeit within 24-48 hours will incur a 50% game fee charge.
Team Uniforms
We encourage all teams to wear matching uniforms, but they are not required to participate in the league.
Teams should check out our partner Game Clothing if they are looking uniforms and ask for offers for BVC Social League Teams!

Junior Teams - Frequently Asked Questions
Over the years, our social leagues have catered for many junior teams from multiple schools around Brisbane and have been found to be a great way to give school students regular match play, without requiring a high cost or time commitment from players, parents, coaches or teachers. Whilst we don't run separate Junior divisions, we have found that most school teams easily find a suitable division to play in amongst the adult competition.
Below are some FAQ's regarding entering school aged teams into the league. If you still have questions, please feel free to email the League Manager for the night you are interested in:
Monday's League Manager, Tuesday's League Manager, Wednesday's League Manager, Thursday's League Manager
Team Contacts (Captains)
To enter a team with Junior players, the team needs to have at least 2 Adult Contact Persons for the team – usually parents of players. Teams do not need to have a Coach or a School Teacher to enter, and Team Contacts are not required to have an ‘active’ role during matches.
Team Name
Teams should not register under their school’s legal name unless they have express permission to represent their school in this competition. In the past teams have entered under mascot names, or come up with their own unique team name.
Refereeing/Scoring Duties
Unlike VQ Schools Cup and many Inter-School Competitions, teams are NOT required to do refereeing duty on other matches. Teams turn up to play their own match, and leave straight after. All of our matches run on-time, making it easier for parents dropping off and collecting players.
Match-time Requests
We understand that Junior teams may not be able to compete late at night. Teams can request special consideration to avoid certain time-slots at the discretion of the League Manager. Please remember that whilst we do our best, we cannot always guarantee this.
School Holidays
Our leagues play all year round, breaking only for Public Holidays. If Junior teams cannot play during School Holidays (or other clashes), they simply need to email the Competition Manager with at least one week's notice (preferably two) to request Byes. Please try and give as much notice as possible, and don't forget if Exam Block may also cause clashes.
Team Fees
Fees are $66 per team per week. This can either be paid weekly, in installments, or upfront. To make things easier for Team Contacts (Parents), we recommend Junior teams divide the costs amongst players and pay in installments or upfront. We can accept payment by EFTPOS on direct online payment. Just talk to the League Manager if you require more information - we are happy to help with taking care of all player payments, too.
Team Composition
Due to the nature of the competition and the varied availability of players throughout seasons, we recommend Junior teams aim for at least 8 players in a team. Unlimited subs are allowed, either reciprocal substitution or rotating substitution. Talk to the League Manager if you are unsure of Substitution rules
