Growing and supporting our community-based beach volleyball club since 2008

Coogee Beach Volleyball Association has more than 350 members from diverse cultural backgrounds.

We are proud of the cultural mix in our association and how beach volleyball connects us all in a fun and social way.

We are based at Sydney’s beautiful Coogee Beach, with 2 permanent courts and 3 additional portable nets at the northern end of the beach.

CBVA is affiliated to Volleyball NSW and Volleyball Australia.

We are social

We play social games every day, all year long. We are open to whoever wants to join and partner with other members to play a few games and socialise. We also try to organise tournaments throughout the year, and offer coaching for all levels of players.

CBVA was founded by a small group of friends in 2008 and has since become a well-run association with a very popular beach volleyball program for kids, as well as adult training classes and squad opportunities for members.

CBVA board and subcommittees are run by volunteer members, who work together to ensure the smooth operation of the association.

    Member fees go towards the running and maintenance of the club, its equipment, and other activities for the benefit of our members and the community. CBVA also has insurance obligations as part of the club’s lease conditions, so the CBVA and VNSW membership pathways are there to ensure that the club is fulfilling these obligations.
