Junior Volleyball

(tags: )

Melbourne University Renegades Volleyball Club has a junior volleyball program aimed at high school-aged children.  We hope to:

  • Develop volleyball skills
  • Establish teams to compete in local volleyball competition (Junior State League) &/or tournaments
  • Provide a pathway into the senior state league teams within the club

The program is a great way to have fun, meet new friends & train hard in readiness of school competitions such as Vic Schools Cup & National Schools Cup.

Training

Training is held on Tuesday afternoons/evenings at Melbourne Uni Sports Centre.  See our training page for specific dates & training times.

There are no strict age restrictions for training.  We have allocated training times for the following groups:

  • Year 7 - 10 Girls
  • Year 7 - 8 Boys
  • Year 9 - 10 Boys

Students in year 11-12 are invited to join in with the above age groups if they are quite new to the sport.  More intermediate/advanced students are welcome to join in the senior training if they are more suited to the later training times.

Cost:

  • $200 Club Fee ($115 for half a year)

All interested players should come along & join in a training session at the time specified on the training page.  The coach will discuss if you are better suited to a different training group.

Competition

Renegades will form teams to compete in Junior Victorian Volleyball League (JVVL).  There are 5 conferences throughout metropolitan Victoria that make up the league, and we are looking to field teams in the Kew Volleyball conferene &/or Western Region Volleyball conference. Games are played either on Thurdays or Fridays from 5pm.  The top 2 teams from each conference then play off in September, in line with Senior VVL finals.
