This past weekend the 2023 Youth Sydney Volleyball League season drew to a close with the Under 18's Under 16's and Under 14's battling it out to see who would take home the winning medals. A massive congratulations to all participants, coaches and clubs, no matter their placing for their efforts over the past 15 weeks as they showed great teamwork and dedication to the sport.

The Under 14 Mixed division faced an increase in team participants from last year, going from 4 teams to this year now having 6 teams join the competition. This division also welcomed 3 new clubs into the fold: ProVolley Academy, Sydney Acers and Sydney United.
