BEACH VOLLEYBALL

The Victorian Schools Cup Beach Volleyball competition is held over three days down at beautiful South Melbourne Beach.

The Year 8s kicked it off on Wednesday 15 March with probably the best conditions, albeit a little bit hot. The day was sunny and very calm, perfect for beach volleyball. This was their first real experience of playing beach volleyball and they played in teams of four. No medals won, but the teams improved throughout the day. Thursday was for the Year 9 and 10s. In typical Melbourne style, they experienced wind, rain, sunshine, cold and more wind. They still managed to conquer the conditions and won a couple of medals. Friday, and it was the turn of the Year 11 and 12s. It was quite chilly and windy, but sunny. Again our students showcased some amazing volleyball and also participated in the occasional volleyball-tennis with Cody Lawson being a part of Boys 4s who won gold. This being his fourth Gold Medal means Cody has won Gold every year he has participated.

With this volleyball taster, we are all looking forward to the One-Day Victorian Schools Cup tournament which will be the next challenge.
