Wests Brisbane Volleyball Club

The West Brisbane Warriors' Junior Training Program (JTP) is a weekly volleyball program designed to help young athletes learn, improve, and enjoy the game in a positive and supportive environment.

JTP is open to players across a wide range of skill levels - from those new to volleyball through to more experienced juniors wanting to continue developing their skills. Sessions focus on building strong fundamentals, confidence, teamwork, and a love for the sport, while still challenging athletes appropriately.

Our experienced coaches place a strong emphasis on fun, encouragement, and learning, ensuring every athlete feels supported and engaged. Training is structured but enjoyable, helping players develop at their own pace while staying active and motivated.

What to expect:

• Weekly, well-structured training sessions
• Coaching suitable for beginners through to advanced players
• A fun, safe, and inclusive environment
• Clear communication and experienced supervision
• A pathway for continued development within West Brisbane Warriors

Further details on session times, venues, and group placement can be found later in the form.

For Term 2 , JTP will offer three nights of weekly training sessions, with sessions grouped by experience and school year level.
