Our NSW Youth Phoenix take flight tomorrow…
Published Fri 23 Sep 2022
NSW Phoenix athletes and coaches have been prepping for months for this special moment. Tomorrow, we are off to Bendigo with 12 Youth Phoenix Teams, representing NSW at the Australian Youth Volleyball Championships 2022 (AYVC). Who is excited?
This year in addition to our Team Captains, we have also selected two athletes to be our Phoenix Team Captains leading our NSW Youth Phoenix Program into competition. Our captains have been selected due to their leadership, attitude and commitment to volleyball and our phoenix team.
Congratulations to all who were selected. They have their eyes on the gold medal prize, but also know that the way to greatness is though teamwork, trying your best, and a growth mindset.
Read on to hear about their hopes and dreams for their teams this AYVC…
