Volleyball Program
The Volleyball Program has been a part of the Gippsland Sports Academy since 2001.
The program has always been supported by coaches with national or state team experience. Bill McHoul was the inaugural Head Coach, and some outstanding specialist coaches provided additional support.

David Smythe has been the squad's Head Coach since 2005. Dave has had significant involvement with Victorian junior teams. Assistant Coaches Steve Holder, Andrew Fisher and Gordon Gibson have also been associated with state programs, as has the Program Manager, Sharlene John.
Over the years our volleyball squad members have continued to attract the attention of State selectors. There have been a significant number who have been invited to attend State selection trials, with many going into State training teams.
The present Volleyball Program commenced in July 2008. The squad is comprised of mainly returning athletes, but with about one-quarter of the faces being new this year. We expect that returning athletes will have a significant role in supporting and encouraging the new squad members.
Listed below are the currrent athletes, coaches and advisory panel.
