How to Start Playing Volleyball
Start Playing Volleyball in 4 Simple Steps
Joining Bossley Bears is simple. Whether you’re completely new to volleyball or looking to get back into the sport, our club makes it easy to start playing.
Follow the three steps below and you’ll be on the court in no time.
Step 1 — Register your insurance
To participate in our Sydney South-West or Sutherland Shire sessions, all players require their insurance.
Insurance is mandatory and ensure you are covered regarding injury when participating in Bossley Bears.
Below is the cost of insurance.

Step 2 — Join a Membership
To participate in our Sydney South-West sessions via the unlimited membership, players first need to register for a Bossley Bears membership.
If you are a Sutherland Shire member, you do not need to do this step. All Sutherland sessions are pay-as-you-go. Simply head over to this link and book your class: BOOK NOW
Our membership gives you access to our volleyball community and allows you to book unlimited sessions through our system.
Once you join, you’ll unlock access to:
- Volleyball classes
- Social games
- Social leagues
- Member events
Memberships are designed to give players the flexibility to train and play regularly.
NOTE: If you wish to book casually as a Sydney South-West member, you do not need to get the membership. You can begin booking after getting your insurance.
Step 3 — Book Your Sessions
Once your membership is active, you can start booking sessions.
Our sessions include:
Classes
Structured training sessions for beginners, intermediate players, and advanced players looking to improve their skills.
Social Games
Casual games where players rotate teams and play matches in a fun, social environment.
Sessions can be booked online and open 7 days before the session time.
Spaces are limited, so we recommend booking early to secure your spot.
Step 4 — Start Playing
Once you’ve booked your session, simply arrive at the venue and check in with the coach or manager.
Our sessions are designed to be welcoming and supportive for players of all levels.
If you're new to volleyball, our coaches and members will help you get comfortable on the court.
Just bring:
- Comfortable sports clothing
- Indoor court shoes
- A water bottle
Volleyballs and equipment are provided.

Yes. We offer casual sessions for $15 per session for social games & $16.5 per session for classes & $18 per session for drop-ins if you prefer to play casually without committing to a membership.
All you have to do is register for the Volleyball NSW insurance, but not our Bossley Bears membership.
However, most regular players choose our weekly membership, which provides unlimited access to book sessions each week and is usually better value if you plan to play more than once.
You only need a few basic items to participate:
- Comfortable sports clothing
- Indoor court shoes
- A water bottle
The club provides volleyballs and equipment for all sessions.
Session bookings open 7 days before the scheduled session time.
Members can reserve their spot through our online booking system once bookings become available. Because sessions have limited capacity, we recommend booking early to secure your place.
If a session is already full, you may check back later to see if a spot becomes available.
All sessions have a limited capacity to ensure a good playing experience for everyone.
If a session is full, members can check back later to see if a spot becomes available due to cancellations.
We recommend booking early once sessions open to increase your chances of securing a spot.
Members can occasionally bring guests to sessions.
Guests must first register with the club and will then be manually booked into a session by our team, subject to availability.
This allows new players to experience the club before joining.
If your guest enjoys the session, they can join the club and begin booking sessions themselves.
If you previously had a subscription membership and cancelled it, you will not be able to register again through the standard sign-up process.
To reactivate or register for a new subscription membership, please contact our team through the Contact Us page on our website. Our team will review your previous membership and assist you with setting up a new subscription.
If possible, please include the email address used for your previous membership so we can locate your account more quickly.
