About Us

Our Story
Andy and Adrian first met as teenagers during their carpentry apprenticeship, quickly forming a strong friendship. One night, Andy invited Adrian to fill in for his sisterโs social volleyball team and from that moment, their passion for the sport was ignited.
With relentless dedication, they immersed themselves in all things beach volleyball, training with legends of the game such as George, Big Al and Hayden. Their hard work paid off, leading them to compete at the highest AAA Victorian level and on the National Tour, where they built strong reputations both individually and as a team. They played alongside and against Olympic representatives, consistently pushing themselves to compete at the sportโs highest levels.
Even now, at 50+, they continue to compete in local Casey tournaments, Vic Beach events and dominate in national and international Masters competitions. Their lifelong commitment to the game remains as strong as ever.
In early 2017, they founded Casey Indoor Beach Volleyball, combining their experience, strong networks and engaging personalities to build a thriving volleyball community. What started as a vision has grown into a place where friendships are formed, skills are developed and athletes of all levels can enjoy and excel in beach volleyball year-round.
