Volleyball achievement

NHS Volleyball Program

Over a weekend 4 teams represented NHS at the Victorian Volleyball School’s Cup. Each team spent 3 days playing and refereeing games and it was very pleasing to see the players represent the school with lots of enthusiasm and demonstrating fairness and a sporting attitude.

Here are the results:

Year 10 Girls Div 1

GOLD MEDALISTS!

The Year 11s did a fantastic job at this tournament given that they only had 6 players. This is their highest place at a state tournament.

Year 9 Girls Div 2: Fourth place

Charlotte Stone, Chloe Pattas, Brooklyn Rush, Milly Shell, Mila Dimkovska, Jasmine Galea, Allegra Kapouleas, Lucinda Symons

Coach: Jonny K

The Year 9 team have now been playing for two years and are improving significantly. They are very dedicated and committed to training and tournaments.

Year 7/8 Girls: Div 1 Fifth place

Linh Trinh, Alicia Chant, Iris Bentley, Erin Gallagher, Chloe Lum, Amelia Mensingh, Lexi Mackey

The 7/8 team have only been playing for a few months and are new to the sport but they won 4 games, which is a fantastic achievement. The girls are very enthusiastic and passionate about volleyball and are keen to keep improving their skills.

The players will continue training and playing practice matches throughout Term 3 and 4 and are preparing for the national tournament on the 9th-14th December. We are currently looking for coaches and team managers for our teams so if you’d like to be involved in our program, please let me know. It is a great way to build positive relationships and be a part of the Northcote community.
