9 Volleyball

Students have been playing volleyball during PE classes with Emily Nancarrow and Ashleigh Greaves this term – and loving it! 

They have taken to the game better than many other sports, quickly learning the rules and developing a strong sense of teamwork, mapping out strategies and above all enjoying the camaraderie that comes with team sports. It has been exciting to watch.

Playing under the new roof over the basketball court (affectionately known as The Cage) has been truly awesome; adding an air of professionalism to the weekly games, not to mention being able to play in both the heat and rain. It has also been great to see onlookers watch and cheer from the newly constructed bleachers (beautifully built by our talented Facilities Coordinator, Greg McCarthy).

On Friday morning a Year 9 round robin tournament will take place, and both students and staff are very much looking forward to it.

Futsal anyone? Join team Preshil 

We have secured an Under 14 team position in the Bialik summer comp, commencing Friday 29 January and finishing Friday 26 March 2021.  

Player registration is now open and must be completed by 11 December 2020. To be eligible to join, your child must have been born in 2006 - 2008 (2009 can also join). Teams consist of seven players but we are aiming to have nine to help with substitutions and any absences.  

Games are played Friday nights between 7pm - 9pm in four locations:

Bialik College (Hawthorn), Ashwood High School (Ashwood), Swinburne Rec Centre (Hawthorn) and Ashburton Rec Centre (Ashburton).

We are hoping to organise weekly training sessions (by Year 11 students) at school on Wednesdays. The association is also running a training program which you can select when registering your child.

The cost to register and play is:

• $65 for registration and insurance for all participants, including training individuals (covers players until 31 August 2021)
• $126 for U14

To register your child’s interest, please email baxter.tania@gmail.com or call 0404916069 for further information. All levels of experience are welcome. This is a great opportunity to foster friendships, improve fitness and have fun.
