Volleyball is the FASTEST GROWING youth sport in New Zealand, representing the second highest PARTICIPATION rate in girls sports. While we work to ensure our FOUNDATION can remain solid through this rapid growth, we also recognize the need for development frameworks to enable participation, and move players from performance to elite programs.
Our DEVELOPMENT FRAMEWORK comprises a pathway that enables participation, player development, coach development and referee development. Each of these pillars hold different values within each of our programs. The aim of the development framework is to ensure there is the appropriate balance of each within the programs delivered.
Our goal is that we can inspire, enable and deliver programs that successfully align to PLAY, COACH & REFEREE throughout each level of the game.
Keep an eye out on the development menu to see what programs are available this year.
