Sporting Schools
Sporting Schools is a $320 million Australian Government initiative designed to help schools to increase children’s participation in sport, and to connect children with community sport.
Volleyball Tasmania is excited to grow children’s lifelong love of sport, and in an effort to do so we have partnered with the Australian Sports Commission (ASC) to get kids active, engaged, and having fun through the Sporting Schools program.
We are excited to be a part of this sporting journey and to be working closely with Australia’s primary schools, teachers, coaches and parents to nurture the next generation’s commitment and love of volleyball now, and into the future. To arrange a session, please fill out our booking form and contact us for more info.
