Term registration

Our club runs on a term-based system and the full term fee is payable even if children join late or miss any classes during the term. This encourages early joining and regular attendance which helps the kids progress in their sports skills and enables us to provide your children with a consistent and well-organised sports experience. We don't offer partial term payments or pay as you go.

Trial session for new kids

If your child hasn’t played with us before, you can book an individual trial session here before registering them for the term. Please note that we don't offer pay as you go and this is only to book your child in for one trial session.

Train multiple times per week

We recommend that your children train at least twice per week as consistent practice and repetition of skills reinforces proper techniques, and leads to the development of muscle memory and better co-ordination, resilience, focus and quick decision-making under pressure in game situations.

And frequent training sessions help build the necessary muscle strength, power, flexibility and cardiovascular endurance required for effective play in matches, helping to become a proficient and well-rounded volleyball player.
