From first experiences in school sport through to representative opportunities with Team Vic, the school pathway provides students with opportunities to participate, develop and achieve at every level.   Through this partnership, Volleyball Victoria and School Sport Victoria will work together to strengthen participation pathways, support teachers and schools, expand opportunities in regional communities, and create stronger connections between school and community volleyball. We are excited to build on the momentum of recent years and ensure even more Victorian students can experience the benefits of volleyball, whether they are playing for fun, representing their school, or aspiring to wear the Big V.
