Volleyball is your sport of choice this year, because it is non-contact, there are multiple seasons per year, and it can be played indoor or outdoors.
Juniors

Junior Social Competition
This is a 2026 JVL Development competition for up and coming players. It is not intended for previous Senior JVL players, those who are in the Hunter Academy of Sport Program, or 2025 HV U18 Reps players! We'll ask your help to coach the teams!
This is the competition for 13-17 year olds to learn how to play exciting rallies, understand different position specialities, build their teamwork skills, and how to referee and score a game.
Coaches will create balanced teams based on everyone’s playing experiences, heights, strengths, and vibes!
Current/future competition information:
The separate boys and girls competitions will run on Mondays from 2nd February - 30th March (9 weeks).
Then another Mixed competition will run on Mondays from 18th May - 3rd August.
Full details follow the links below. Note, all junior programs at the PCYC require an additional U18 Membership to use PCYC Venues ($20) in addition to HV's annual membership and program fees. PCYC is the home of junior volleyball for Lake Macquarie and Newcastle players in 2026.

Junior Skill Development & Modified Competitions
Hunter Volleyball's experienced coaches will guide you as you learn all of the fundamental skills required to play this dynamic game. This program is targeted at kids aged 11-15.
Skills include the pass (dig), set, spike, serve, and the block. You will learn a new skill every week through high repetition activities, and by working with teammates to create rallies and scoring opportunities. You will also find your on-court volleyball voice!
Let's accelerate your skills to spike a variety of attacking options which have different signals and names, defend in different formations, be quick to transition from offence to defense, serve tactically and be a great team member who communicates with others, and achieves team goals during games.

Junior Volleyball League (JVL)
For experienced juniors the Junior Volleyball League (JVL) is your final destination before progressing into adult competitions.
There are future pathways into the Hunter Academy of Sport volleyball program as well as the Hunter Volleyball U18 representative program as well as the NSW Phoenix state junior and youth programs.
For our junior programs, Active Kids Vouchers can be redeemed at the time of registration.
The fourth season of JVL has been played, in a modified tournament-style format featuring only 6 teams this year due to critical lack of court space and shortage of available players.
Congratulations to the 2025 teams on a tremendous season which saw everyone playing 4 games a day!
