The Faith & Fire Invitational is a one-day volleyball tournament bringing together parish and church communities from across Australia for a day of sport, fellowship, and faith. It is organised by SMYM Adelaide South.

The tournament is open to teams from any Christian parish, church, or youth group in Australia. Players must be aged 16–25. All skill levels are welcome — the focus is on community and fun as much as competition.

Each team must register between 6 and 10 players. Six players are on court at any time, with a maximum of 12 substitutions per set. Mixed teams are welcome and encouraged.

Wear comfortable sportswear and clean indoor court shoes (non-marking soles). Bring a water bottle, towel, and any knee pads or braces you use. All team members must wear matching jerseys.

The registration fee is $225 per team for SA-based teams and $175 per team for interstate teams.
