Serving – spiking & setting in our community since 1982

Our first Annual Awards Night was a wonderful success with more than 50 people in attendance, in 2007. Subsequent nights have grown in size and popularity, providing a platform to thank sponsors, partners, friends and relatives.

2007 saw the successful integration of Kaiata and Freezone Volleyball Clubs; with Club teams ranked No2 in the State Cup tournaments in NSW. Up to 7 teams have played in local, interstate and international competitions over the course of the year. It was a proud momment for the Club President’s presentation to the B Div Girls team for their 2007 win in their division.

Major sponsors underpin the operation and finances of the club forming strong bonds within our community. We are thankful for the support of our sponsors, who make the day to day club operation easier. The Aids Council of NSW (ACON) and our various Tournament Sponsors (currently Mecca Espresso and TEAMM8 Leisurewear) ensure the ongoing support and financial viability of the club activities.
In 2011 The Sydney Star Observer was presented with a plaque to commemorate our relationship and thank the SSO Media Team for their ongoing support.  Club members participate in forums, fundraising and attend ACON events to cement the bond of our two organisations in promoting the health and wellbeing of members of our community.

2012 saw the club expand into the local volleyball arena with Freezone re-igniting the clubs participation in the Manly Cup, Baulkham Hills Volleyball Club events and the State Cup Series.  The introduction of the STATE SQUAD saw Freezone offering a higher level of training with a professional coach, initially Joe Seilman, followed by Bob Konakoff and then Oscar Konakoff.  This has seen the level of the club rise significantly to regular place in medals in the local competitions.  The club also enjoys a warm relationship with our local community and now stands firm as a presence in the local volleyball population of NSW.

2013 saw Freezone collect it’s first GOLD MEDAL at a World Outgames Event in the B grade division at the 4th World OUTGames in Antwerp, Belgium.  With two teams competing the club was well represented and enjoyed a wonderful journey competing alongside European teams from Germany, Canada, America, UK, Thailand, France and the Netherlands.  This year also saw the club begin to consolidate the work from the State Squad with Medal Placings in the State Cup series and particularly the Good Neighbour Tournament in Canberra ACT.

2014 was a significant year, with teams taking GOLD in the Asia Pacific Regional OUTGames in Darwin, a SILVER in the BB division at the GAY GAMES in Cleveland, Ohio and numerous medals at the State Cup Series, Melbourne Spikers Tournaments, BHV State Cup Series and the Good Neighbour Tournament in Canberra, ACT.  Freezone’s own tournaments grew to become two of the most popular tournaments in the local volleyball calendar with some 29-30 teams competing at both the Mardi Gras and Spring Tournaments hosted at Sydney’s Olympic Park Stadium.

Most notably in 2017 Freezone enacted changes to begin a ‘triple tier’ approach to our training and participation with the advent of the STATE REPRESENTATIVE SQUAD.   Marie Skelton came on board as Head Coach of the club and instilled a new regimen of training and commitment with the aim to compete at the Div 1 level of State cups.  The Squad has been instrumental in attracting new and highly skilled talent into the club and allowing our top players to find an avenue for play as well as imparting skills and development of our club at other levels.

The club always enjoys a healthy mix of ethnicities, sexual identities including Bi and Transgender as well as our wonderfully supportive heterosexual crew.  We have a broad palate of people who all come together in the spirit of equality and integrity to compete, socialise, interact and participate in our common goals. The club in recent years has averaged about 100 registered members  each year and is always willing to bring new players into the Freezone Volleyball family.
