Introduction
GMVA, or the Great Melbourne Volleyball Academy, is the leading volleyball Academy in Australia, having seven different training groups to reflect the athletes different needs throughout their development. Each training group has their own head & assistant coach that focuses on the skill and physical development that is needed at that age group and skill level. This method makes sure that no matter what age or level you play at with GMVA you will be around other players at or slightly above your skill level.
The Girls Program will be made up of Girls Youth, Girls Junior and Girls Senior while the Boys Program is Boys Youth, Boys Junior, Boys Senior, Boys Pro and GMVA Centre of Excellence(CoE) that trains up to 20 hours per week.
We offer an 11 month per year training cycle covering both beach and indoor volleyball with a focus on strength and conditioning and core control. Our aim is not just to improve volleyball skill but also to strengthen the athletes bodies and ready them for playing more volleyball at a higher level all within our very positive training environment.
The State Volleyball Centre in Dandenong is our training base for the whole cycle as we also use the indoor beach facility at SVC. Our training night is Monday night from 6:00pm through to 8:15pm for the indoor cycle. For the beach cycle we split the training times so there is more court space so there are 2 training times each week. 6:00pm to 8:00pm and 7:00pm to 9:00pm. Every 2 weeks the boys and girls will switch training times.
GMVA has a truly all star coaching line up, with coaches having represented Australia at some age level be it in beach volleyball, indoor volleyball or both. Our coaches have played a combined 3 Olympic games, 6 World Championships, 2 World Cups, 8 Continental Championships and over 50 FIVB World Tour Beach Events. We really believe that to teach someone how to play at the highest level and deal with the pressure of that environment it is important to have experienced it yourself. That's exactly what we have done, be it captaining a gold medal winning Blue team, playing for the national junior or youth team, playing college volleyball or playing professionally around the world
