National Athlete, Creator & Brand Partnerships
The Famous Frenzy Is Expanding
Sharks Volleyball is reviewing athletes, coaches, creators, volleyball accounts, clubs, organisations and aligned brands for paid and supported partnership opportunities across Australia.
Established name or emerging talent, we want to understand what you can contribute, who you can reach and what we could build together.
Australia-based applicants and international profiles with a meaningful Australian audience are eligible. Under-18 applicants require parent or guardian involvement.
A network built across every stage
Famous Is Not the Entry Requirement
The Famous Frenzy has been shaped through genuine relationships with Olympians, Australian National Representatives, professional players, international representatives, collegiate athletes, coaches and developing talent.
Sharks considers potential as well as proof. Audience relevance, content quality, sporting journey, professionalism, creative ideas and alignment all matter. Follower count and elite credentials are useful signals—but they are not the whole decision.
Partnership pathways
Where Could You Fit?
The Famous Frenzy is broader than a traditional athlete sponsorship program. Sharks is considering people and organisations that can create value through their story, audience, expertise, content, credibility or connection to the game.

A relationship built over multiple years
Luke Perry Has Done More Than Visit Sharks
Luke Perry has worked closely with Sharks across multiple Camps, private training programs, specialist clinics and pathways mentoring.
His continued involvement gives junior athletes access to elite experience while demonstrating what sits behind the Famous Frenzy: meaningful relationships, repeated contribution and opportunities that extend beyond a single appearance or social post.
Student. Coach. Australian National Representative. One of our own.
Athlete. Coach. Paid Content Partner.
Junae Numata started training with Sharks in Year 8. As his volleyball journey progressed, he returned to the same community as a coach, became an Australian National Representative and is now part of a tailored paid content partnership with Sharks.
His story is a reminder that the Famous Frenzy is not reserved only for people who are already established. Sharks can recognise potential, support the journey and build a deeper partnership as the person and the opportunity grow.

No. Audience size is one part of the assessment. Sharks also considers Australian audience relevance, engagement, content capability, sporting journey, professionalism, ideas and future potential.
Do I need to be a professional athlete?
No. Established and emerging athletes are both eligible. We are interested in where you are now, where you are headed and why your story may connect with the Sharks community.
Are paid opportunities available?
Yes. Selected partnerships may include paid content work, a financial component or another form of support. The structure depends on the opportunity, deliverables, expected value and rights required.
Can someone under 18 submit a profile?
Yes. Parent or guardian information and verification are required before an under-18 profile can progress.
