History

The Australian Volleyball Federation was founded in 1963, at the Interstate Cup played between men’s teams from Melbourne, Sydney and Adelaide. The presidency of the Federation rotated each year between these three states. The Federation grew rapidly with an inaugural National Women’s Championships in 1965 as well as the inclusion of the ACT. 1966 saw the restructuring of the Federation and the election of Bob Foot as the first representative president (1966-1975).
