Sporting Schools

WHAT IS SPORTING SCHOOLS?

Sporting Schools is a $100 million Australian Government initiative designed to help schools to increase children’s participation in sport, and to connect children with community sport.

Sporting Schools will fund sporting activities, including volleyball in more than 5,700 schools and provide access to a range of trained community coaches.

Volleyball Australia are excited to be a part of this sporting journey and to be working closely with Australia’s primary schools, teachers, coaches and parents to nurture the next generation’s commitment and love of volleyball now, and into the future.
