About VolleyBuds
VolleyBuds is a free, independent Australian beach volleyball project. It is provided as a community resource and is not currently monetised.
How VolleyBuds works
VolleyBuds brings tournament discovery, season planning, partner history, player progress and athlete-controlled Coach sharing into one place.
Start in Tournaments, save events to My Season, record partners in My Partners, and use Player Stats to follow your progress. If you join a squad, you choose whether to share your player information with your Coach.
How competition levels are classified
VolleyBuds keeps the actual division name a player competed in while also mapping it to a common competition level where possible. This makes it easier to compare results across different states, tours and competition formats.
A Victorian athlete may have a result recorded as AAA, while a NSW athlete may have Div 1. VolleyBuds keeps those exact division names, but both are classified as 3 Star so Coaches and players can compare competition level consistently.
