Hills Road Sixth Form college

~ Trust the process ~

In 2016, we embarked on a journey with Hills Road Sixth Form as we explored ways to encourage more young people to take up the sport - Hills Road volleyball club was then established as a satellite club. 

A great way to help bridge the gap between school, college and community sport, the partnership has also provided opportunities for players to develop mental resilience and to establish lifelong sporting habits.

Learning and playing a (new and technical) sport like volleyball gives the players a sense of focus and directive; it builds their self-confidence as they develop consistency and mastery through patience, hard work and self-evaluation - the process that will lead them into being the best they can be in volleyball, and indeed life beyond sixth form.
