In the club's first year of playing and representing volleyball in N.S.W, there have been seven players from Westside that were selected to play in the (A.V.L) Australian Volleyball League for other clubs within the state.

This is an inaugural club championship in which, the best known clubs from around the country, featuring current & ex national & state players, fighting it out to become crowned the best club team in the country.

This year there were three AVL teams from N.S.W, for men and women, they were Kumho Sydney Lions men and women, UTS men and women, Sydney University women & Bankstown Sports Cedars men. Each club consisted of it’s own SVL players plus many additions from various clubs in the state, to help strengthen each team. Westside on contrary were amongst the star additions to these clubs..

These were the players that were selected to play A.V.L for their respective teams;

Kumho Sydney Lions Men: Gamdan El Miski, Ibal El Miski, Nifae Sita

U.T.S Men: Jeffery Skinner, Douglas Skinner

Bankstown Sports Cedars Men: Shannon Flexman, Francis Uso

University of Sydney Women: Amy Uso

All selected individuals made a huge impact on their AVL teams, and were all part of the starting line up on each team. This evidently shows the depth of great talent that is vested in the Westside club.

Two of the Westside players, Shannon Flexman & Francis Uso eventually went on to represent Bankstown Sports Cedars in the Finals of the AVL which was hosted in Melbourne. Their team did extremely well, with two hard fought final games, and came away with an AVL Bronze medal.

Westside is hoping to gain enough sponsorship to be able to participate in AVL at a future stage. But for now, the focus is on winning the SVL titles that eluded it’s men’s division one and women’s junior teams this year, in what were two very close five set thrilling grand final matches in August this year. Not bad for first time comers to SVL. The coming New Year will bring many new surprises and future goals which Westside will look forward to accomplishing.
