Volleyball at Aquinas College is a popular choice among all year groups, but especially with our Year 7/8 students. Volleyball is suitable for all experience levels, from beginner to years of experience. Games are played at either QEYC Arena, Memorial Park in Tauranga or at the ASB Arena at Baypark, Mount Maunganui. There are opportunities for teams to attend the North Island Champs, New Zealand Champs and also several Bay of Plenty competitions throughout the year.

Registration is now open for Term 1, 2023. The Online Registration form can be found on the Registration and Trials tab.

Teams are registered through Tauranga Volleyball for local competitions and more information can be found on their website

The same items are to be returned to the Sports Office the week following their last game.

Volleyball Registration – Term 1 2023

Regardless of if students wish to play Socially they must fill in this form as an acknowledgment of the commitment required. Students are then able to submit a team list to the Sports Office if they would like to make their own teams with friends. Teams must have a minimum of 9 players and an adult manager who will be present on game nights.

Trials:

The Senior Girls will be having two musters in the lead up to the Term 1 competition starting. Students are invited to attend on Thursday 26 January from 4.00pm – 5.30pm, and Thursday 2 February 3.30pm – 5.00pm in the Aquinas Gym. Students will not be disadvantaged in trials by not attending, but we do encourage those who can attend to do so, as it is a great opportunity to dust off your volleyball skills ahead of trials.

If trials are necessary with other groups, these will be communicated once registrations have closed.

Teams will be decided on based on the numbers of students who trial. The following teams can be expected:

Senior (Year 11-13 students) – Girls and Boys
