2023 Youth Beach Season

Youth Beach Phoenix is the performance program to prepare NSW representative teams for the Australian Youth Beach Volleyball Championships (AYBVC).

It is a state-wide age specific program (Under 14, U15, U16, U17 and U18) which aims to target the highest performing male and female athletes living within NSW. The 2023 Season will target athletes born between 1/1/2006 and 31/12/2010.

Head coaches will be appointed to each age group and gender, who will also work with a number of suitable assistant coaches and support staff.

Referees will also be required to fill available positions at the AYBVC.

Youth Beach Phoenix is a team based program, offered on an annual basis in preparation for the AYBVC.

Selected athletes and coaches will 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 AYBVC. Selected athletes and coaches undergo further centralised development and training prior to traveling to and competing at the AYBVC.
