Coaches and pathway
Are your coaches qualified?
Every coach holds a current Working With Children Check and plays competitively. Meet the coaches.
How do you group players?
By skill level, not age, so beginners are never overwhelmed and advanced players are challenged.
What is the coach-to-player ratio?
It varies by level and by how many players book each class.
Is there a pathway to competitive volleyball?
Yes. From 2027 we enter junior teams in the Sydney Volleyball League; tell your coach if your child is keen.
