It is a big weekend for Otago volleyballers.

Five teams have headed away with their eyes on the prize at the interprovincial championships, getting under way in Napier today.

The teams, competing in the under-17 women’s, under-17 men’s, under-19 women’s, under-19 men’s and under-23 men’s grades, will be hoping to go one better than last year.

Otago won bronze in the under-19 men’s grade last year, and Spencer Campbell and Stanley Paipuke were named in the under-19 men’s tournament side.

Players received their tops at a special presentation at the Edgar Centre earlier this week.

Former Otago volleyballer Maddy Campbell spoke at the event about her time playing college volleyball in the United States.
