Program overview

Coogee Beach Volleyball Association CBVA qualifies coaches

We have structured our Adult Training program to cater for all levels, using a letter-based grading system from Single B (‘B’) to Double AA (‘AA’) as shown below:

Beginner B – Suitable for complete beginners and those very new to the sport

Beginner BB – Ongoing development of fundamental skills and movements

Intermediate BBB – Develop depth of skills and strategies

Intermediate A – Progress skills and strategies towards mastery

Advanced AA – Fine-tune your game towards perfection

The grading system is indicative only, and is not used for an Club player grading and may not be reflective of your level when participating in tournaments or other events.

Class availability is seasonal and dependent on coach availability.

  • What training classes do you offer?

    CBVA has several affiliated coaches. You can read about each of our coaches here. We offer a range of classes, from beginners through to experienced players. The cost of classes will depend on the type of class and the experience of the coach. Classes generally ranges from $25 – $45 and registered CBVA Trainees/Members can see the upcoming training class schedule/book into lessons via the club RevSport portal. If you would like to learn more about our training class options, please e-mail coaching@cbva.org.au.

  • How do I know which level is best for me?

    Feel free to share your beach volleyball experience with our team via an email to coaching@cbva.org.au and one of our coaches or volunteers will help point you in the right direction. If you’ve never played before, we’d suggest registering as a Trainee and signing up for our Beginner B class. For all others, it may take one or two sessions to find the level that’s right for you.

    Our coaches may be able to facilitate private group lessons. To train at Coogee, you would still need to be registered as a CBVA Trainee at a minimum. You can learn more on our membership pathways here:
