Junior Updates
Keep up to date with all things social volleyball
Juniors
Volleyball is your sport of choice this year, because it is non-contact, there are multiple seasons per year, and it can be played indoor or outdoors.
For experienced juniors the Junior Volleyball League (JVL) is your final destination before progressing into adult competitions.
There are future pathways into the Hunter Academy of Sport volleyball program as well as the Hunter Volleyball U18 representative program as well as the NSW Phoenix state junior and youth programs.
When it heats up, then for a bit of summer fun to end the season, join 3s by the Sea for social beach volleyball when the weather warms up again.
For our junior programs, Active Kids Vouchers can be redeemed at the time of registration.
Junior Volleyball League (JVL)
The fourth season of JVL is just around the corner. Despite a lot of searching and negotiating, our 2025 JVL season has been reduced to four tournament-style weekends, with teams playing double-header round robins each weekend instead of the traditional 11 week season.
Following two Team Selection Trials, the coaches have selected three boys and three girls teams to compete for the 2025 JVL Championship. All matches are being played at Q Block Hunter Sports High School, Gateshead.
