2012 OLYMPIC GAMES
The Road to London
For almost every athlete the Olympic Games is the pinnacle of their sport. To have the chance to perform in an Olympic arena is an honour not many sports men or women will ever have, so the desire to reach such an event is limitless.
In 2012 the Olympic Games return to London for the first time since 1948 as this historic city gets ready to host the biggest sporting event on the planet. Volleyball and Beach Volleyball will be there, with both events taking place in two of the capital's most famous landmarks.
Volleyball Australia will be seeking representation in the Men's Volleyball Event and the Mens and Womens Beach Volleyball Event. Click on one of the links below to follow the team's progression as they seek Olympic glory.
