Career hall

Tamsin Barnett's volleyball talent was discovered and promoted at the age of ten. Her physical education teacher Ross Sullivan in her hometown of Ballarat encouraged her to apply for the Victoria's national selection . Barnett played on the state team for two years before joining the Australian national team at the age of 18 . After participating in the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney , where the team finished ninth, and sixth at the 2001 Asian Championships , the Australian decided to pursue a career in Germany. In the last three months of the year she played in Unterschleißheim .
