Volleyball

Volleyball at Nelson College

At Nelson College we have Volleyball teams from Year 9-13. Our Senior A team plays in the local NVL League and competes at Tasman, South Island and National schools tournaments. 

We cater for all ages and abilities, with the option of competitive and social teams. 

Term 1 is the competition season for Seniors and Term 4 for Juniors. In Term 1 for our Year 9 boys, we make as many teams as needed to ensure everyone can play. We split up the Intermediate teams so the boys meet new people, however we always ensure they have a friend or 2 in their team. The junior boys are coached by parents, or senior players. 

In term 3, we will have trials for our top Junior grades and usually two teams will compete at the South Island Schools Tournament.
