Volleyball Specialist Program
Helping students achieve their goals
The Greenwood College Volleyball Program is a Department of Education approved specialist program. It is designed for students who want to develop high-level performance and technical volleyball skill. Prospective students must complete a Volleyball Trial in Year 6 for acceptance in Year 7. Students may be able to try out later if there are vacancies.
Each child in the program will be given the best possible opportunity to play competitive volleyball. Our volleyball program is supportive while building character, self-discipline and a love of the sport. The program offers integrated indoor and beach volleyball for all students selected.
