At Beachvolleyball.com.au, we see it every week: volleyball has a way of grabbing you from the very first serve. Whether you’re stepping onto the sand as a beginner or pushing yourself to compete at a higher level, the journey from novice to confident player is both exciting and rewarding.
Our school exists to guide that journey. With structured courses, graded squads, and social tournaments running at Manly Beach and Maroubra Beach, we provide a clear pathway for players to develop their skills, enjoy the game, and become part of Sydney’s beach volleyball community.
Why Volleyball Skills Development Matters
Beach volleyball is much more than just getting the ball over the net. It’s about timing, teamwork, and technique. When you build your skills, you:
Play smarter and with more confidence
Avoid injuries by moving efficiently
Enjoy the game on a deeper level
Unlock opportunities to compete in social or tournament play
Think about your first dig, serve, or spike—it might feel awkward at first. But with coaching, practice, and repetition, these skills quickly become second nature. That’s the transformation we love seeing in our players every term.

How to Progress with Us
Progress in beach volleyball doesn’t happen overnight—it’s about building solid fundamentals and layering in new skills at the right pace. That’s why our coaching programs are designed with a step-by-step pathway:
Master the Basics
Our beginner courses focus on serving, passing, setting, and spiking. Sessions are fun, structured, and always guided by experienced coaches.
Practice Consistently
We offer multiple sessions each week at both venues, so players can build confidence and reinforce good habits.
Learn from Coaches & Peers
Our team includes national-level athletes and passionate coaches who provide feedback, tips, and encouragement to help you grow.
Challenge Yourself
Once you’re ready, you can move into intermediate or advanced squads where you’ll learn jump serves, quick attacks, blocking techniques, and game strategies.
Play in Socials or Tournaments
Beyond training, we host social sessions and the Maroubra Mixed Series tournaments—perfect opportunities to put your skills into action.
