A message of support for our volleyball family in Victoria.

Volleyball Queensland is deeply saddened by the tragic passing of 14-year-old Tenesha Fieldsend, a junior player with Latrobe Valley Volleyball, following a road accident while travelling home with her family from the Volleyball Victoria Junior Country Championships in Horsham.

Tenesha had just celebrated a bronze medal with her Under 17 girls team. She will be remembered as a bright, bubbly young person and the heart of her team.

Our thoughts are with the Fieldsend family, Tenesha’s friends, teammates, coaches and the entire Victorian volleyball community during this incredibly difficult time. We also extend our heartfelt wishes for recovery to her younger sister and everyone affected by this tragedy.

A GoFundMe has been established to support the Fieldsend family as they navigate this unimaginable loss and the challenges ahead. Volleyball Queensland will be making a contribution, and we encourage our Queensland volleyball community to show their support if they are able.

Latrobe Valley Volleyball Inc is deeply saddened by the sudden passing of Tenesha Fieldsend, or more affectionately known as 'T'.

Tenesha was a much-loved part of our sporting community and will be sadly missed by her teammates, coaches, friends and our wider volleyball members.

It feels extra special that she was part of our bronze medal winning team at the Volleyball Victoria Junior Country Championships in Horsham, over the weekend. What a wonderful achievement to have shared with her teammates, and a memory for them to treasure.

Our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with her family, friends and all those who had the privilege of knowing her

She will be greatly missed and fondly remembered by our sporting community.

🏆 QUEENSLAND, THAT WAS SOMETHING SPECIAL 🏆

Buckle up, it's a long one....

The 2026 Australian Youth Volleyball Championships have come to a close, and Queensland has once again left its mark on the national stage.

7 GOLD 🥇 | 4 SILVER 🥈 | 2 BRONZE 🥉

And for the 12th consecutive year, Queensland takes home the President’s Cup - awarded to the state with the strongest overall performance across the Championships.

But there was one achievement this week that deserves a moment all of its own…

🏆 THE FIVE-PEAT 🏆

Our U18 Boys Maroon have done it again.

For the fifth consecutive year, this incredible 2009-born cohort has won the Australian Youth Volleyball Championships - winning the title in U14, U15, U16, U17 AND U18.

Five years. Five titles.

And in that entire five-year AYVC journey, they have lost just one match.

That one loss came this week, against Victoria, before Queensland went on to claim the U18 Boys Maroon title once again.

An extraordinary achievement from an extraordinary group of athletes. 👏🏆

🥇 GOLD MEDALLISTS - Every Queensland Maroon boys team!

🥇 U18 Boys Maroon
🥇 U17 Boys Maroon
🥇 U16 Boys Maroon
🥇 U15 Boys Maroon
🥇 U14 Boys Maroon
🥇 U17 Girls Maroon
🥇 U15 Girls Maroon

🥈 SILVER MEDALLISTS

🥈 U18 Girls Maroon
🥈 U17 Boys White
🥈 U14 Boys White
🥈 U14 Girls Maroon

🥉 BRONZE MEDALLISTS

And every other Queensland team finished inside the top eight in their respective divisions.

👏 U18 Boys White - 8th
👏 U18 Girls White - 6th
👏 U17 Girls White - 4th
👏 U16 Boys White - 5th
👏 U16 Girls Maroon - 8th
👏 U15 Boys White - 6th

From the athletes who stepped onto court, to the coaches, team staff, families and supporters behind them, this result belongs to the whole Queensland volleyball community.

Congratulations, Queensland. What a championship! 🏆
