Chris’ Mum Min shares her thoughts,
By the way, I’m from one of those “non-school’s cup” schools. We didn’t have any volleyball at all. But we had expensive boats, so you could do rowing instead. I think they were a bit out of touch with the modern world.
It does bring up an recurring question: What opportunities are there for kids to play good tournament volleyball if they don’t go to a volleyball school and can’t make a development squad? There are always country carnivals, like Warnambool, which is on next weekend.

Well you two!
The third team selected for State reps in SA is all about DEVELOPMENT and experience. One might might never now one’s real potential unless given an opportunity like the one mentioned to awaken the desire, self belief and committment needed to make positive steps forward.
Unforntunately not ALL volleyballers attend schools which take teams to National School’s Cup and participation in the said third team is their only chance to ‘SHINE ‘.
Yes some that have been taken away lacked the experience of FINALS FEVER at National State level and were inconsiderate to other state teams
vying for positions in finals and fingers crossed WE have learnt from that error in judgement.
To any volleyballer out there when an any opportunity comes knocking do not be complacent, take it with both hands and RUN…. be the very best you can be. HAVE FUN.
