Excellence Discipline: Volleyball Excellence

​Our Volleyball Excellence program at Marsden State High School works with students to prepare them for the future. We focus on building our students confidents, mental resilience and physical condition through a range of different training sessions. We thrive on giving our students every opportunity to compete at high level tournament as well as friendly exchanges with our local schooling community who we are proud to have build a great rapport with over the last few years.

This concept has shown to give our students a safe environment to grow on and off the court, with player wellbeing being a priority. Our students thrive for excellence and are proud to represent our school in tournaments and schools cup, while balancing passion towards their learning and achieving high academic results.
