OUR STORY
BUILT FOR
THE HILLS
Obsidian Volleyball Academy exists because Hills District juniors deserved better access to quality volleyball coaching — without travelling across Sydney.
THE ORIGIN
WHY OVA EXISTS
Dan founded Obsidian Volleyball Academy in 2025 after seeing firsthand how difficult it was for talented junior players in the Hills District to access quality volleyball coaching.
The options were limited: travel across Sydney for a good program, or settle for inconsistent local coaching. Neither was good enough.
OVA was built to solve that problem. By securing a permanent venue at Baulkham Hills High School, Dan created an academy that brings professional coaching standards to the Hills District.
Today, OVA runs holiday camps and term programs for juniors aged 8 to 18, with coaches who have competitive playing experience and a genuine passion for developing the next generation of volleyball players.
