Junior Phoenix

Junior Phoenix is a state-wide age specific program (Under 19 and Under 23) that aims to target the highest performing male and female athletes living within NSW. First introduced in 2021, Junior Phoenix is the performance program to prepare NSW representative teams for the Australian Junior Volleyball Championships (AJVC). 

2022 saw the first Junior event run in Sydney and NSW fielded 5 teams (2 x U23M, 1 x U23W, 1 x U19M, 1 x U19W)

Junior Indoor Phoenix is a team based program, offered on an annual basis in preparation for the AJVC.

Selected athletes and coaches go through a 3 Phase process including:

• Nomination: Opportunities to apply for positions in the program through methods such as nomination forms, talent identification, and trial events.
• Squad: A group of selected athletes and coaches undergo NSW based centralised development and training opportunities.
• Team: The Squad group is narrowed to only athletes and coaches required for the AJVC. Selected athletes and coaches undergo further centralised development and training prior to traveling to and competing at the AJVC.
