VBVA | The 2021-22 Summer training schedule has arrived. Daylight-saving rolled in a few weeks back, as did a slow burn of small group sessions. But, just like that, we’re out of lock-down, training in larger groups, across longer sessions… and into a weekday/Saturday cycle from the 26th October.
There are quite a few changes from previous seasons, to the number of available sessions, as well as the times they occur. We have had an influx of new squad members, across all tiers, which has been fantastic… but requires us to plan a little differently.
The following schedule has been set up to offer as many opportunities for each training level as possible. We will be introducing a Monday afternoon session for our Tier 2/3 players, to go with a Thursday and Saturday. Our Tier 2 Transition group will continue with their regular Thursday afternoon, but now get to train alongside the Tier 1 crew, with the opportunity to play against those ahead of them during end-of-session game-play. As for the Tier 1 group, three training times per week should push your skills further, faster… Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.
Here it is…

Please note all training sessions for the foreseeable future will require confirmation of attendance prior to training day. We will follow-up on regulars, and are happy to keep a pre-booked position for those training every week.
We ask that you (or your child) check-in with the available QR Code at each session, and adhere to the recommendations set out by the State Government – use our sanitiser, wear masks where required.
Finally, as previously mentioned, from the commencement of the Summer training schedule, we will only be offering training to those who are double-vaccinated, as well as kids under 12. We will grant exceptions to those who have a pre-booked second dose appointment in place prior to the 16th November.
