What do you get at GMVA?
At GMVA you will receive a high level of technical training from people who have actually been there and done what they are talking to you about. Our coaches want to pass on what made them the successful players they were and still are today. There is no greater way of knowing what works in pressure situations in sport than experiencing that yourself over and over again until it come 2nd nature to you, well that is what our coaches have done. From college in the USA and Canada, professional volleyball in Europe and the Middle East, the Australian Institute of Sport and finally the Australian National Teams our coaches have the knowledge of what works and what doesn't to pass onto tomorrows superstars in volleyball.
The squads train on Monday nights at the State Volleyball Centre in Dandenong from 6:00pm to 8:15pm on a weekly basis. We do however train at South Melbourne beach at times during the beach volleyball cycle to get exposure to playing the sport in all the various conditions that Melbourne offers!
GMVA is a fantastic stepping stone for young volleyballers who want to become the best player they can be both in volleyball skill and also physical capabilities. The physical side of volleyball is something that is integral to us as the more experienced a player gets and the higher level they play the more important it becomes.
We offer quality coaching that will help give the athletes the best chance of making national youth and junior programs. At GMVA we look to provide an opportunity for our athletes to go over the Canada and America on volleyball scholarships to further not only their volleyball but to gain a high quality education.
