Capital City Volleyball Incorporated is a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to promoting volleyball in Wellington. The organisation was established in 1978, driven by the efforts of John Witika Hall.
During his lifetime, John contributed an overwhelming amount of his time and money to developing the sport throughout New Zealand. We started our weekly leagues at the YMCA in Willis Street with 6 teams.
The organisation was incorporated in 1993 as Wellington Volleyball Society Incorporated, and today has over 60 teams playing every week.
Goals
The health of a sport depends on good administration and on opportunities for players at the grassroots level — that is, social volleyball and kids' and school volleyball. That level of volleyball has been, and is likely to remain, our key focus for the foreseeable future.
