Volleyball camp 

From Wednesday the 14th to Friday the 16th, our Specialist Volleyball Program students participated in the Elite Volleyball Program Camp. This camp offered a concentrated and immersive training opportunity tailored specifically for all SVP members. The excursion aimed to bolster the athletes' performance levels through ongoing advanced skill refinement, strategic gameplay comprehension and implementation, fitness enhancement, conditioning, rehabilitation, and injury prevention measures, as well as fostering personal and team cohesion through various team-building exercises. We look forward to seeing the positive impact of this hard work on the court at our first competition for the year – the Qld Beach Schools Cup on 03 & 04 March at Coolangatta. 

 

FUTSAL

Our first tournament for the year has started today! The 15-16 year team has traveled out to Nissan Arena at Mt. Gravatt and we are awaiting to hear the results from their first day of play. Good luck to you!
