North West Regional Volleyball Tournament set for third year in Karratha

The North West Regional Volleyball Tournament is set to return for its third consecutive year, drawing teams from across the Pilbara for a weekend of high-level competition and community engagement.

Scheduled for June 7–8, the annual tournament will feature 13 men’s and women’s teams representing Tom Price, Port Hedland and Karratha, all competing for the sought-after Champions Shield.

This year’s event promises to be the biggest yet, with the inclusion of elite State League matches as part of the tournament program.

Thanks to support from the Western Australian Volleyball Association, round nine of the WAVL State League will be played in Karratha, marking a significant milestone for the region’s sporting community.

Two high-profile matches will be held on Saturday, June 7, at Karratha Leisureplex with a women’s match between Reds and Chequers at 4.30pm and UWA playing Chequers at 6pm in a men’s contest.

The showcase fixtures are expected to draw strong crowds and provide an opportunity for the community to witness top-tier volleyball action typically reserved for metropolitan centres.

In addition to the tournament and showcase games, the North West Volleyball Association is offering a series of free community workshops and clinics running from June 5-8.

These sessions are designed to support skill development across all levels, with a focus on coaching, refereeing and junior training. The clinics are open to the public and will be held at various locations including DLGSC, St Luke’s College and Karratha Leisureplex.
