Elite Volleyball Program

Experience Day

We were delighted to witness a tremendous turnout of enthusiastic and courageous young athletes at our experience day, eager to try out volleyball at various activity stations. Aspiring volleyballers had the chance to test their athleticism on a jump height machine, with many giving it their all. EVP athletes volunteered their time to engage with the young participants, encouraging them and teaching fundamental skills like digging and setting. Primary school visitors even joined our experienced EVP volleyball athletes on the court, facing a serving machine and practising digging. It's inspiring to see so many competitive and enthusiastic young athletes aspiring to join the EVP in 2025, indicating a promising future for the program.
