Volleyball Equipment Supplier in Australia and New Zealand
Elson Volley was formed in 1983 by State and National volleyball coaches David Eldridge and Harley Simpson, after a visit to Australia by USA guru coach, John Kessel. Between them, they have coached and competed at both National and international levels for many years, and that experience still decides what we put on the shelf. Today we supply volleyball equipment to schools, clubs, coaches and players throughout Australia and New Zealand.
Formed by Coaches, for Volleyball Players
During John’s coaching sessions in Australia, he recommended improving kids’ volleyball by using better coaching aids and higher-quality equipment for players.
Harley Simpson and David Eldridge continually tried to get Australian sports stores to stock this higher quality volleyball equipment but were told that volleyball was too small a market and that importing specialist volleyball products was not worthwhile.
That is why Elson Volley was formed by volleyball coaches, for volleyball players. For more than 40 years, we have supplied volleyball equipment at competitive prices throughout Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific region.
How We Choose the Gear We Sell
As coaches and players ourselves, we choose products that have been tested in real training and competition environments before we offer them to customers. If a ball, net or knee pad does not hold up in a school gym or on a beach court, it does not go into the range.
We do not carry the biggest range in the country, and that is deliberate. We focus on supplying equipment that meets the needs of schools, clubs, coaches and competitive players, rather than listing everything on the market. We will not waste your time with inferior products or try to talk you into purchasing something different.
We supply a wide range of Mikasa volleyballs to clubs, schools and players throughout Australia, alongside Molten balls and Acromat court equipment.
