After a thrilling 5-set match, the Perth Steel Women walked away with Gold Medals around their necks, and the Championship Trophy, marking the 2nd time in three years they have earned this title. Pictured are the Southern Cross Representees in the final.

In this amazing and well fought end to the AVSL season, Southern Cross Volleyball Club’s very own Caitlin Waterfall (Setter and State League Captain) was given a plaque for her ‘Women’s MVP’ award. Well done, Cait, the club is so proud of you!

Southern Cross is very proud of our 14 teams that competed in the Junior League this year. Our success has a foundation in our 30-year history and is strengthened by our focus on grassroots through the Kids Volley and Junior Volley programs. In 2025, our programs had 175 participants, and 15 of our coaches are involved with teams in SSWA, AJVC, and AYVC. Southern Cross is proud of the new generation of athletes being inspired by the achievements of our State League Women’s team and led by our experienced coaches.
