- Do I need to be part of a state program to come? No. This is open to any junior player, from any state or club.
- Can I do the camp without competing? Yes. Camp and competition entries are separate, and you can choose one or both.
- What if I don't have a full team for the competition?Camp entry is individual, so that's the easiest way in if you're coming without a squad. For the competition, check the team format for your age group above before you enter.
- Is there anything for parents?Yes. Parents can join the referee and coach education sessions running as part of the camp. If you are interested in supporting the camp as a volunteer coach, referee or manager please contact Chris Todd, Technical and Growth Manager at chris.todd@volleyballnsw.com.au
