Corporate Cup Info

By signing up to the Vic Beach Corporate Cup your team will have a great day out at Melbourne's beach volleyball HQ, South Melbourne beach - team building, networking, stretching themselves - and your support will help bring a great result for our beach volleyball women's team and for Australia.

This year, Vic Beach's Corporate Cup event will be a fundraiser to help the Australian pair of Tamsin Hinchley and Natalie Cook to ensure they can travel and compete with their coaches and support team, to be at their competitive best for the London Olympics.

Victoria's Tamsin Hinchley is already a dual Olympian and her partner Natalie Cook has competed at 4 Olympics - bagging a Bronze in Atlanta and of course Gold in Sydney.  For Natalie, London will be her 5th Olympics, a record for an Australian woman and a feat that will put her as 'odds on' to carry the Australian flag at the Opening Ceremony - a massive attention grabber for our sport!! 

Having won the last two National Tour events in Australia and with Olympic Gold Medal coach Steve Anderson and Vic Beach's own Peter 'Chico' Jones in the coaching box, this pair are legitimate medal contenders.

Entry to the Vic Beach Corporate Cup is $250.00/team plus GST, 10% of which goes to Kids Under Cover www.kuc.org.au/

Plus, an extra $250.00 will get you a "Supporting Our Olympic Dream" framed photo of your team with Tamsin Hinchley and your logo AND your team goes into the draw to have a dual Olympian coach one of your Round Robin games in the Cup.

There'll be plenty of fun and opportunities to mix with other teams and Tamsin during the day as well as at the Beach Hotel for Presentations and after tournament refreshments.

We look forward to seeing you and your team at the beach.
