Volleyball Sports School (VSS), is a Tier 2 program of the JDP tiered approach open to athletes in age groups from Grade 7 to Grade 11. Tier 2 means that athletes in this program have already experienced volleyball before, either from Tier 1 or from a year-long athlete development program at school.
VSS sessions are designed to improve the basic skills of the athletes, while a big focus is now turned to 6-a-side volleyball and the complexities of rotations. A lot of gameplay is proposed during each session, and we recommend that the athletes in this program also participate in the Junior Superleague, which is designed for the specific purpose of gaining game experience.
It is expected that at the end of a full VSS year you may be able to join the HPP Tier (High Performance), but this may happen a little earlier or later. While the VSS program is training athletes to be competitive in local competitions (Tasmanian Indoor and Beach Schools Cup), we encourage every athlete to participate in their age group state team trial. The VSS Tier has a history of athletes successfully selected to represent Tasmania at national events.
