Training Program Designed for Excellence

Our Junior Advancement Program is designed to elevate high school athletes to their fullest potential through structured, high-quality volleyball coaching. Led by our team of experienced and professional coaches, this program focuses on developing strong fundamentals, advanced skills, and game intelligence in a supportive and motivating environment.
We combine expert instruction, targeted drills, and progressive training methods to help young athletes grow with confidence - whether they’re preparing for school competitions, representative pathways, or simply striving to become the best players they can be.
​

Please feel free to self assess yourself on which class suits you as well as ask the coaches for their opinions on what would best suit your development. A key note is advanced training will be focusing more on teamwork, advanced techniques and drills, thus it would be highly recommended to build upon core fundamentals until you are comfortable engaging in more advanced drills. Additionally the fundamental class will also be very valuable to advanced players to refine key basics that will help them excel in volleyball.

​

The sessions are eligible for Active Kids Vouchers use.
