Queensland Claims 12th Consecutive Title at 2026 Mahindra Youth Volleyball Championships
Queensland made it twelve titles in a row, taking home the overall Presidents Cup on the final day of the 2026 Mahindra Youth Volleyball Championships (AYVC), held this week in Perth.
The championships saw 458 matches played across three venues over the course of the week.
Queensland’s U18 Boys team claimed a fifth consecutive national title and its U17 Girls team taking home its third, while Victoria’s U18 Girls team capped off the week as four-time national champions.
Cameron Jagga, a member of the U18 Queensland Boys team that defended its title to become five-time champions, described the achievement as unreal, and said he couldn’t be prouder of his teammates, some of whom have been a part of the title-defending group since U14’s.
“It’s unreal, just being a part of the program for so long and watching everyone develop. It’s amazing how far we’ve come,” said Jagga.
“The best part about AYVC is honestly being able to catch up with people from all over Australia. We only get to do this once or twice a year, so it’s just unreal.”
Taylah Tulloch-Juleff, a member of the Queensland’s three-time champion U17 Girls team, was thrilled with both her own performance and her team’s.
“I’m really excited! That was a really good game,” she said.
Ruby Longmuir, member of Victoria’s U18 Girls team who are now four-time champions, said that it’s hard to describe how she feels after the victory.
“Coming into the game, I definitely felt nervous, we had such good opponents on the other side, like Queensland is insane,” she said.
“But it feels incredible, you can’t describe it.”
The AYVC leads into the Mahindra Australian Club Volleyball Championships, starting Saturday, September 26, which will bring together teams from across Australia and around the world for three days of high-energy competition in Perth.
