PLAYERS & SKILL LEVELS
What age groups do you cater for?+
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.
My child has never played volleyball — is that OK?+
Absolutely. Our Beginner Blast program is specifically designed for kids with zero experience. Coaches are trained to make it fun and non-intimidating from session one.
How do you group players?+
By skill level, not just age. We assess players at the start and place them in the appropriate group — beginners aren't overwhelmed, and advanced players are appropriately challenged.
Is there a pathway to competitive volleyball?+
Yes. Our Elite Program prepares advanced juniors for club and representative volleyball. Talk to our coaches about your child's development goals.
VENUE & LOGISTICS
Where are the camps held?+
All sessions are at Baulkham Hills High School in the Hills District of Sydney. The venue has multiple indoor courts — sessions run rain or shine.
Is there parking available?+
Yes, free on-site parking. Enter via the school main entrance and follow signs to the sports hall.
What should my child bring?+
Sports shoes (clean, non-marking soles), a large water bottle, lunch and snacks for full-day camps, and sunscreen for any outdoor warm-ups.
What time do sessions start and end?+
Full-day camps run 9AM to 1PM with half-day options available. Exact times are confirmed on the booking page for each program.
COACHES & SAFETY
Are your coaches qualified?+
All OVA coaches are accredited and hold current Working With Children Checks (WWCC). They bring competitive playing experience alongside their coaching credentials.
What is the coach-to-player ratio?+
We maintain small group sizes to ensure each player receives meaningful coaching attention. Specific ratios vary by program level.
