Volleyball - Training

In this section 

Training

Athletes spend approximately 30 hours a week training. They participate in two three-hour training/weights sessions a day, six days a week, at the purpose-built multi-sports hall. The major focus of the program, however, is competition, and coaches aim to have the teams play 50 international matches each year.

The national junior and university teams are integral parts of the national Volleyball Team Australia program. The athletes in these teams regularly train as visiting athletes at the AIS Volleyball program in special high-level camps.

Training programs for juniors or beginners would be very different to this program. Ask your coach for a program suitable for your level.
