A classroom challenge in high school for a group of current Don students translated into a weekly game of volleyball.

Tanner, Cassidy and Ruby's joke of aiming paper into the bin turned into a serious suggestion of a weekly volley ball meet-up as the group commenced college. Over 2021 the group, the group met on a casual basis for fun but the start of the new year brought a more committed approach. 

When Physical Education teacher, Nic Haywood, mentioned the East Devonport Recreation centre had weekly rosters, the three decided to form a team of six, finding two other Don College students and one Leighlands Christian School student to make it complete. Since, February the team have been practising weekly playing against 10 other teams. 

Ruby said they had been surprised that there was opportunity to play the sport regularly and against so many teams and were pleased to see so many different age groups joining in to play. 

 Over the summer, they also enjoyed the outdoor courts at Devonport's Bluff, all chipping in to buy themselves a net to practise.
