Training camps are held three times per year at various locations (Sydney, Newcastle and Gold Coast). These provide current members an opportunity to play and train together while also providing an opportunity to promote the sport to the community with the aim of encouraging others to participate.
Currently regular training opportunities exist in Sydney, Newcastle, Brisbane and the Gold Coast. Further venues are being organised on a needs basis. Anyone interested in starting up a group is not only welcome, but encouraged to make contact for help and advice.
Training Camps have been conducted at the Australian Institute of Sport (Canberra), Sydney Academy of Sport (Narrabeen), Coffs Harbour, Moss Vale, the Gold Coast and Brisbane.
Often the camps are heavily subsidised by the Australian Athletes with a Disability (AAWD), NSW Amputee Sporting Association, Queensland Sporting Wheelies, Sitting Volleyball Australia and various other State Organisations. This makes a weekend camp extremely affordable.
