The History (Volleyball)

Notes:

THE HISTORY

THE BEGINNING:

When Spotswood College opened in 1960, there was no gymnasium built for Physical Education classes or indoor sporting codes. Major fund raising activities took place throughout the 1960’s and on the 11th March, 1970, the gymnasium was opened.(This gymnasium was closed by the Ministry of Education on Wednesday 29th May, 2014). The new gymnasium was opened on Wednesday 18th March, 2020.

Shortly after the opening, weekly Volleyball practises began for both boys’ and girls’ teams. The College has consistently entered teams in local and national tournaments since 1970, and has established a fine reputation. Spotswood College has been consistently ranked in the Top 10 nationally for co-educational high schools for Volleyball success since the late-1980’s.

THE COACHES:

Spotswood College has been lucky to have had some outstanding Volleyball coaches since 1970. These coaches have all contributed towards the success that the various teams and individual players have achieved.
