Team CK

Carla teamed up with Claire Kelly to rekindle their partnership from 2004 when they took out the Queensland titles. The pair recently teamed up again after Carla returned to the circuit from her operation and they have been slowly re-building themselves and the team known as Team CK. The girls knew that to be competitive and beat the worlds best you need to play against them, study them and learn the things they do to be successful. So, against the odds, and with little money they set out to raise awareness and funds to play the remaining events of the Federation of International Beach Volleyball (FIVB) world tour.
Not without a lot of stress and obstacles, they followed through with their word, and in July and August travelled to Canada, Finland, England and Holland on the FIVB Tour. Many believed they could not do it. They proved them all wrong, and have started on their journey to Olympic qualification and now have a world ranking of 101 after only 3 tournaments.
Due to the new nature of their pairing there are opportunities for branding and product sponsorship for the 2011/12, Victorian, Australian and FIVB world tour events leading up to the 2012 Olympics.
