Specialist Volleyball Program Applications and Trials
Approved Specialist Programs give students real-world skills and a head start in reaching their goals. Teachers and coaches are adept at recognising and developing students’ skills in their areas of interest. Students can select pathways that prepare them for a wide range of opportunities, skills and investigate their individual strengths and interests.
Greenwood College’s Specialist Volleyball Program is supporting the development of future community and sporting leaders, building on the athletic and teamwork skills of young adults. Our program sets high standards for player achievement, as well as personal growth through the development of character and self-discipline.
