With passion, power, and pride, the NSW Phoenix is set to light up the national stage – and Scape Australia’s renewed partnership reinforcing its commitment to empowering young athletes, building community, and fuelling the future of volleyball in NSW.

The 2025 Mahindra Australian Volleyball Super League will commence on Saturday, 20th September, featuring six teams in a national home-and-away format. The competition will culminate with the Semi-Finals on 26th October in Melbourne, VIC, and the Championship Final on 2nd November in Brendale, QLD.

Each round of the competition will showcase both men’s and women’s match in a dynamic, fast-paced format. All matches will follow a guaranteed five-set structure, delivering an exciting indoor volleyball experience for spectators. The action will be broadcast live via Kayo Sports.

Commenting on its most recent volleyball commitment, following the company’s recent announcement as major partner of the FIVB World Volleyball Championships, Craig Carracher, Co-founder and Executive Chairman, Scape Australia, by The Living Company, said, “At Scape, we are committed to creating more than just student accommodation, we build communities that empower young people to thrive, grow and pursue their ambitions. Our renewed partnership with the NSW Phoenix reinforces that commitment, supporting youth development, resilience and excellence both on and off the court.

With Volleyball NSW’s strong connection to the university sector, we’re excited for our student residents to share in the energy and inspiration of national league volleyball throughout the 2025 season.

Watching these athletes represent their state with passion and pride is inspiring, and we are honoured to stand beside them as they soar into the season.”

Rebecca Walter, Interim CEO, Volleyball NSW went on to say "We’re pleased to renew our partnership with Scape Australia for the NSW Phoenix teams. This collaboration highlights our mutual commitment to empowering young athletes and strengthening community ties through volleyball. With Scape Australia's support, we look forward to another season of excellence and growth, both on and off the court."
