Volleyball momentum builds

By David Berry

Momentum is building for the new season of volleyball in Horsham – three weeks away from starting.

Phantoms trials started on Saturday in Bendigo, in which Volleyball Horsham members indicated their desire to participate. 

Momentum also comes from the level of enquiry for when the season starts via social media and publicly, as well as the positive way the year finished in 2024.

While there will be some faces missing as another batch of hopefuls make their way to different places in the state to start university, another young group of hopefuls will get their chance to step up into the A Grade men’s and women’s competitions and test their development against some of the strongest players in the state.

The same can be said for a young group of female players who are champing at the bit to test their development as they progress through to the women’s A Grade competition, where they will face off against some experienced veterans.

Volleyball Horsham is gearing up for another huge season of volleyball across seven divisions of competition, with play pencilled in for Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesday evenings.

With school returning for the majority of students this week, there will be information available for those who want to give volleyball a try.

School is where most students have their first experience of many different sports that are on offer in the community, and to those teachers who help their students develop their love of whatever sport they choose, on behalf of these sporting opportunities, we say thanks.

To assist not just students but anyone in the community who wish to give volleyball a try, Volleyball Horsham will host two come-and-try nights at the home of volleyball in Horsham, St Brigid’s College stadium, on Wednesday, February 5 from 6pm and the following Wednesday from 5.30pm.

There is no cost to participate, and if nothing else having fun is assured.

For the uninitiated, junior volleyball is played on Monday evenings from 5pm. This competition suits upper primary and lower secondary students.

That is followed by the B and C grade competitions, which suit older adults and those students who have progressed their game.

Tuesday nights is the night for A Reserve competition, and it would suit those who have progressed their game and have a level of competitiveness when they play.

Wednesday nights is a big night for volleyball at St Brigid’s with academy athletes training from 4.30pm followed by women’s A and B  grades, as well as the flagship A Grade competition.

Volleyball Horsham encourages anyone interested in participating in any of the competitions to touch base with their teacher contacts at all our schools, attend any of the two come-and-try nights or drop an enquiry onto Volleyball Horsham website or social media platforms.

Further enquiries can be submitted to info@volleyballhorsham.com.au.
