NOMINATIONS CLOSED NOW FOR 2023!!

Closed February 12th 2023 

 

 

Background

The Hunter Academy of Sport (HAS) Indoor Volleyball Program plays a vital role in the VNSW pathway by identifying, monitoring, and developing the skills of young volleyball players. Working closely with our neighbouring academies as part of Regional Academies of Sport (RAS), members of the squad will be exposed to expert coaching services, and sport specific education in areas such as strength and conditioning and nutrition.

We have worked closely with the State Sporting Organisation, Volleyball NSW, and the Hunter Volleyball Association (HVA), to develop the HAS Indoor Volleyball Program. This program will assist our athletes in taking the next step in their sporting careers. The program will be conducted from March to August 2023. 

 

Objectives

The main objective is to prepare and provide an opportunity for athletes to progress into the 2022 Youth Phoenix Program, including:

  1. Provide localised quality training for athletes and coaches across Sydney Metro and Regional NSW (previously delivered only through the centralised State Team program)
  2. Increase the education level of athletes through access to strength & conditioning services and sports education (e.g. nutrition, psychology)
  3. Increase the education level of coaches through the development of a combined coaching cohort, with State-wide content led by VNSW  
  4. Provide a regional level representative championship opportunity within NSW
  5. Provide an opportunity for talent identification throughout NSW and therefore engage with more individuals
