Volleyball NSW is committed to providing high-quality volleyball opportunities that promote participation, skill development, and understanding of the rules of the game. Through team-based, fun, and inclusive competitions, we support schools across NSW in growing the sport.

The Term 3 Indoor Schools Championships is a two-day format competition designed for students in Years 7–12, open to all schools and skill levels across NSW. While participation is open, this event is recommended for students at an intermediate level, with basic knowledge of official FIVB scoring procedures and rules. This is a great opportunity to gain valuable match experience under FIVB conditions, and serves as an ideal preparation event for the Australian Volleyball Schools Cup (AVSC) hosted by Volleyball Australia on the Gold Coast.

The Year 8 & 9 tournament will be held on Wednesday 20th and Friday 22nd August 2025 at Netball Central.
