Yes. You're welcome to book a single class for $40 and give it a try before committing, no strings attached. If your child loves it, enrol for the rest of the term and save 10% on every class. Book from the booking page.

Full days are $70 each. Book 5 or more days and every day drops to $60, so any five days are $300. Every player trains in the Obsidian jersey; add it for $36 at checkout if your child doesn't have one yet. Pick your days on the booking page and the total updates as you go.

A single class is $40. Enrol for the remaining weeks of the term and you save 10%, paying $36 per class upfront. Most families enrol for the term; single classes are perfect for trying us out or for genuinely week-to-week schedules.

Term enrolments aren't refunded or credited for individual missed weeks. If you know ahead of time that your child will miss several classes, contact us before enrolling and we'll try to help. Illness or injury with a medical certificate is always refunded pro rata. If your schedule genuinely changes week to week, single classes at $40 are built for exactly that.

We run programs for juniors aged 8 to 18. Players are grouped by skill level rather than age alone, so everyone trains at the right intensity.

Absolutely. Our beginner sessions are designed for kids with zero experience, and our coaches make it fun and welcoming from day one. During camp, coaches also move players up or down a level so everyone stays challenged and engaged.

By skill level, not just age. We assess players and place them in the right group, so beginners aren't overwhelmed and advanced players are properly challenged.

Yes. Players are grouped by ability so stronger players are always pushed, and our advanced sessions build toward representative and club volleyball. From 2027 we're entering junior teams into the Sydney Volleyball League, giving our players a clear competitive pathway.

From 2027 we're fielding junior teams in the Sydney Volleyball League. If your child is keen to compete, let our coaches know and we'll guide the next steps as teams take shape.
