ABOUT US
Gold Coast Beach Sports Association is a volunteer run association representing beach volleyball, Footvolley and Beach Tennis players. It is managed by a board elected every year at the AGM
OUR MISSION
Our mission is to unite the voices of beach volleyball, footvolley and beach tennis enthusiasts, fostering a vibrant and respectful community that thrives together on the sand
What we do
Advocating for beach sports
A key part of our mission is to advocate for better infrastructure that supports fair and accessible beach sports. This includes the installation of public, permanent posts and courts that can be freely used by the community, reducing reliance on temporary setups and ensuring safe, reliable playing spaces. We also believe in a fair balance between commercial activities and community use, so that while businesses and organised events can thrive, enough courts remain accessible to the public at all times. By promoting infrastructure that is both permanent and equitably shared, we aim to create an environment where everyone—from casual players to competitive athletes—has the opportunity to enjoy beach sports in a safe, inclusive, and sustainable way.
Organizational Transparency
As an association, we are committed to full transparency in our decision-making and operations. We are entirely volunteer-run, which means no money is involved in our activities—our only purpose is to represent and support the interests of the beach sports community. All key discussions, proposals, and agreements related to facilities and access are shared openly with our members. We believe that every player and community member has the right to know how decisions are made and how agreements with council or other stakeholders affect public access. By maintaining open communication and making documentation publicly available, we aim to build trust, encourage participation, and ensure that our association always acts in the best interest of the wider beach sports community.
Cooperation across sports
We embrace the diversity of beach sports and actively encourage cooperation across disciplines, recognising that our shared passion for playing on the sand unites us more than it separates us. Our association seeks to cultivate a spirit of teamwork, inclusivity, and mutual support among athletes of all beach sports. We provide opportunities for open discussions and collaboration between players of Beach Volleyball, Footvolley, and Beach Tennis, ensuring that the limited beach space is shared fairly and respectfully. By working together, we can promote each sport more effectively, support one another’s events, and strengthen the visibility of beach sports as a whole. This cooperation also extends beyond competition—helping us build new social groups, foster friendships, and create a welcoming community that thrives on interaction, respect, and shared enthusiasm for active beach life.
