The Train & Play program is for boys and girls in 13U and 14U and is tailored for athletes who want to improve their volleyball skills and stay active, but may not be ready (or able) to commit to a full-season team. It’s ideal for those transitioning from recreational play, trying out the club environment for the first time, or simply looking for extra practice and fun games without the full travel/tournament load.

What you’ll experience:

• Weekly sessions combining targeted skill drills and game-based play.

• Coaches emphasise technical foundation (serving accuracy, passing consistency, footwork, hitting technique) alongside decision-making in live game situations.

• Less pressure than a full club team: no long tournament schedule, fewer travel demands.

• Great environment for players to sample club volleyball, maintain fitness, and connect with peers.

When & Commitment:

• The Train portion will be on Tuesdays starting January 6, 2026, and the Play days will be on Wednesday evenings.

• It is a 9 week program.

• Cost and frequency are lower relative to full-season teams — making it a strong “in-between” option.

If you’re considering stepping into a full-season team but aren’t sure yet:
Train & Play is exactly the right place to start — build your confidence, sharpen your skills, and when you’re ready you can transition to one of our full-season programmes. It’s also a good choice if you didn’t make a team this year, but still want to stay engaged and growing.

Other programs you might be interested in:

• Jr Strikers (if you're younger or just starting out)

• Competitive 13U-18U (when you’re ready for full-season club commitment)

Want flexibility and growth without full-season commitment? Join our Train & Play program and keep your volleyball journey moving forward.

*Please note that Train & Play is First Come First Serve (FCFS) as we only have a limited number of spots for the program.

 

Please Also Note re: Train & Play Eligibility

We’ve had an exceptional turnout this season. To ensure space for our core development groups, 13U and 14U athletes will receive first priority for registration.

Late-birthday 15U athletes (born Sept 1–Dec 31) who are eligible to “play down” may be invited to join if space remains after initial registration closes. We will update families once final numbers are confirmed.

Thanks for your patience as we finalize details for the 2026 season.

Train & Play is for boys and girls in 13U and 14U which allows them to continue developing their volleyball skills.
