Presenting the 2023/2024 Tour Series
The Australian Roundnet Association is proud to present the 2023/24 Tour Series in Australia.
We are so excited to launch this product which will propel the sport of Roundnet forwards in our country. With an updated format and ranking system, we’re pushing the competitive side of Roundnet upwards, as more and more people join and we work towards the World Championships in London in 2024!
The aim of the Tour Series is to provide an opportunity for Roundnet players in Australia to compete and play the sport we all love. We are seeking to bring the community together and to provide a structured, organised, professional way of doing this.
We are confident that this Tour Series is the way that we will best grow the sport of Roundnet in Australia, and we’re so excited for you to join us in this. We have several committees working to run, grow and improve the various aspects of our Tour Series, so you can rest assured that we are doing all we can to make this the best it can possibly be!
At each of the Tour Series Events, there will be ranking points up for grabs. These are determined by our points system, which you can find detailed on the ‘Get Serious’ Page of our website.

The Australian Roundnet Association seeks to incentivise, reward and cultivate a flourishing domestic community of roundnet players who can compete and on the world stage. It is for this reason we have eligibility criteria in place for our National Championship.
The Australian Roundnet National Championship (Open and Women's Divisions only) is open to those who are Australian citizens, permanent residents, have a valid immigrant visa or who have lived permanently in the country since before January 2024.
Eligibility criteria is not in place for the Casual Division on the 23rd March nor the Mixed Division on Sunday 24th March as these divisions/tournaments won't contribute to National Rankings.

How to Play
If you aren't familiar with the rules, that's okay, we are here to help. Our video below will get you up to speed really quickly.
Roundnet Basics
2 vs. 2
With two people on each team, the server sets up opposite their opponent. The point starts when one team hits the ball down onto the net so it bounces back up towards the other team.
3 Touches, 360 Degrees
Just like in beach volleyball, teams then have up to three alternating hits to return the ball onto the net. After the serve there are no sides. It is a 360 degree game and the ball can be hit in any direction.
Scoring
If a team can't return the ball onto the net with their 3 touches, the opposing team scores 1 point. A shot that hits the ground, rim, or bounces more than once on the net is no good. First team to 21 wins!
Go on. Get out there!
If you haven't already got yourself a kit we suggest you make friends with someone who does or treat yourself. We don't mind what gear you play on but we use the Spikeball Pro Kit for all of our tournaments and think you'll be really happy with the quality. You can buy a kit and replacement parts online at spikeballaustralia.com.au.
