Flaming Chalice - Team Nominations Open
What is Flaming Chalice?
Dragons Volleyball Association runs the Flaming Chalice Volleyball Tournament each year on the Labour Day long weekend (first weekend in May).
This event has been running every year since 1991. Flaming Chalice is the largest association-run tournament in Queensland attracting teams from as far afield as Townsville, Dalby and Sydney, and occasionally international teams.
This year we are expecting more than 100 teams spread across 15 divisions!
