Martin Reader, Head of Pathways shared "After a very competitive selection phase we are pleased to announce the Youth Beach Phoenix travel teams for AYBVC. Athletes have gone to great lengths to TID, trial and compete for spots on the Phoenix Team roster making this the toughest selection we have ever had. NSW youth have achieved great results in youth, junior and senior events with many teams medaling interstate so there is a lot of excitement for AYBVC. Thank you to all the athletes who have been a part of this seasons process and congrats to everyone who was selected to the 2023 Youth Beach Phoenix Team."
