In 2024, close to 2000 boys participated in the AIC Volleyball season. All schools were well represented across the year levels. The atmosphere inside AIC Volleyball venues is always exciting, particularly with the closeness of games and final sets being decided by the barest of margins. It is wonderful to see the commitment of AIC schools in giving opportunities to their students though out the year by participating in Volleyball Queensland Schools Cup competitions showing clear benefits and development of the skills throughout the AIC season.
Aggregate Competition
The AIC Volleyball Aggregate competition is calculated by combining the final standings of the 7A/B, 8A/B, 9A/B, 10A/B, 11A and First VI/Second VI/Third VI premierships together. In unprecedented Volleyball Aggregate result, Iona College was crowned champions with a record score of 87 “Aggregate Points”. Iona was able to win or come 2nd or equal 2nd in eleven out of the twelve aggregate premierships. This an outstanding effort from the school and their 13th Aggregate Championship in the history of AIC – the most of any school. St Laurence’s finished 2nd and Padua in 3rd place.
First VI Premiership
In a season that recorded more 5 set fixtures than many people can remember, Iona College was able to remain undefeated and secure the First VI Volleyball Premiership. An excellent team display which was built on strong defense which enabled the team good possession to build powerful attacks laid the foundation for the Iona team to win the premiership. Villanova and St Peters finished the season in second place in the First VI Premiership
