Beach Blue & White Jacket 2024 Award Winners
Published Mon 17 Jun 2024
The annual Volleyball Victoria Beach Blue & White Jacket dinner was held on Saturday evening, 15 June 2024, at the Manningham Hotel in Bulleen. Hilary Hannagan and Ryan Hutchings were announced as the recipients of the Blue and White Jackets for 2024, the most prestigious individual award presented in the State Youth program.
The evening was hosted by MC Benny Jones, and the Manningham served up a 3-course dinner for the 200 attendees (athletes, coaches, parents, and invited guests) while awards for all age groups were presented from the Australian Youth Beach Volleyball Championships (AYBVC) held in Coolangatta, QLD, in March earlier this year where Victoria won three gold medals and one silver medal.
Thank you to our senior program coaches Tamsin Hinchley and Greg Jury, and to Australian Volleyball Warehouse for sponsoring gifts packs for the Blue & White Jacket winners.
