Other Information

Club Expectations of our Members

Please see Conditions of Membership for our formal conditions of membership that every member must agree to before becoming a member of the club. In essence this boils down to:

  1. Play nicely with everyone, but especially our younger members.
  2. Meet your commitments (registrations, payments, showing up for games) when possible, and seek help/let us know when you can’t.

Volleyball Queensland (VQ) Membership

As an affiliate club with Volleyball Queensland, each player must have a current Volleyball Queensland membership to participate in our programs. PVL requires a minimum membership level of 'Full'. Following registration for the PVL event, we will direct you to the Volleyball Queensland membership page, so that you can get that sorted. Please see VQ Membership Requirements for more information.

FAQs

What if I sometimes have conflicting commitments between study/work and Dragons club training and/or games?

Dragons understand and accommodate for "life" (e.g. school/work/uni and family commitments). Have a chat with the Dragons PVL Coordinator to discuss your availability.

What if 'something comes up' during the PVL season?

Have a chat with the Dragons PVL Coordinator to discuss your availability, or alternatively talk with your team manager.

Am I able to move between teams during the PVL Season? Can I be considered for a higher team, or dropped to a lower team?

There is limited scope for player movements, noting that we have to carefully follow the PVL by-laws to avoid team forfeits.
