The Junior Division 1 boys title was won by Spotswood pair Keegan Joe and Mel Naborisi, who beat Tauranga Boys’ College pair Quaid Forbes and Jack McManaway in their final. Libby Houghton (year 12) and Hikaru Han (year 13) won the Senior Girls Division 1, defeating Katie Sadlier and Zara Pocock of Westlake Girls’ High School in their final. Additionally, David Jeffrey and Jonah Nabrosi were pipped for bronze in the Senior Boys Division 1 section. Speaking with College Sport Media, Libby Houghton was proud of Spotswood College’s achievements on the sand on the national stage. “We all train hard together just about every day, so it was great to do so well,” Libby said. Libby and partner Hikaru had only played a couple of tournaments together prior to this one, but they were confident of doing well, as Libby explained: “The weekend before at the New Zealand age-grade championships we won the bronze medal and our semi-final there could’ve gone either way, so our goal was definitely to get gold at the NZSS tournament. We knew our competition really well because throughout the summer we had been with different partners all around New Zealand playing in the pro tour. “So we had ideas of their strengths and weaknesses going up there, and our coach Anthony Joe is the New Zealand U19 and U21 coach and he helped us a lot. We wanted to go up and kick everyone’s butts really!” Libby talked about the post-section matches on Sunday. They had a 2-0 quarter-final victory over the Orewa College pair of Brianna Morrison and Jesse Te Rito (21-13, 21-14). Their semi-final was tight, Libby and Hikarau defeating Rangitoto College’s Jasmine Milton and Haley Flatz 2-1 (18-23, 25-23, 15-10). “The second set was pretty much even the whole way and we dropped off at the end. Hikaru and I had to step up our game in the second set and we ended up saving four match points – we literally played our hearts out in that second set to win it and then go on and win the third set.” The Spotswood pair then beat Westlake’s Katie Sadlier and Zara Pocock 2-0 in the final (21-17, 21-19). “They were the same pair as we had met in our bronze medal match the week before, so we had a fair idea of what to do. “Overall, my favourite game was the semi because that felt like a final to me.” There’s little rest for Libby and Hikarau and the Spotswood College beach volleyballers. Next up is the New Zealand championships, should they qualify for the respective top 12 boys and girls team places available. In April they have a tournament to determine who represents New Zealand at the Youth Commonwealth Games in the Bahamas and to a development camp in the USA. The NZSS indoor volleyball championships are in Palmerston North at the end of March. Libby has been playing volleyball seriously for a couple of years and has dropped all other sports to concentrate on that. She has already represented New Zealand at age-group level overseas in Thailand (beach) and Australia (indoor). Hikaru is also a gun tennis player, having represented Taranaki on the tennis court a number of times. But she too is focusing on volleyball at present. LOOKING FOR PHOTOS FROM THE EVENT? CLICK HERE  The North Island Junior Volleyball Championships in Wellington have anointed two new champions in 2016. Westlake Girls' High School under the guidance of the impressive Vukets family have won the girls title for the first time, while Trident High School rallied from a set down to topple Otumoetai College in an enthralling and exclusive Bay of Plenty boys battle. Girls Final Westlake scored a commanding 25-19, 25-15 victory over Tauranga Girls' College. Westlake started strongly surging ahead 4-1 on the back of powerful serving by Rachel Webster. Tauranga stayed in the fight and won four points on the trot to nudge ahead 17-16 following impressive play by Sophia Lawrence and Kiana Gear. With the first set hanging in the balance tournament MVP Tamara Otene took over. Otene blasted two aces and a smash winner as Westlake went on an 8-0 run to jump ahead 24-17. Tauranga's resistance was effectively crushed at this point. Westlake completely dominated the remainder of the match. A third of Tauranga's second-set points were scored by way of Westlake serving faults. Otene with her height, power and occasional touches of finesse continued to impress. Juliette Vukets (whose mother Lucille and older brother Greg coached the team) was a study of composure setting up many of Westlake's point while Webster was a menace at the net. Westlake didn't drop a set all week. Boys Final Trident High School avenged a defeat earlier in the season to Otumoetai to became champions for the first time in seven years. The first set was tight with little quarter given until Trident suffered service wobbles. Faults were conceded at 12-12 and 15-13 which was the catalyst for Otumoetai to go on a 6-0 run and power ahead 20-14. Jerome Morris with his belligerent serving and explosive net play was outstanding for Otumoetai as was Luke Chuter with his blocking. The final score in the first set was 25-19 to Otumoetai. Otumoetai quickly gained a 10-7 lead in the second-set. Trident kept their cool and the sheer hustle and enthusiasm of tournament MVP Jack Oswald saw them draw level late in the set. The most dramatic points of the match were won in succession by Nathapop Sathorn. At 20-20, Otumoetai forced Trident deep into the court with a series of walloping spikes. Trident kept the ball alive with meek deflections. Sathorn was then forced to retreat close to the boundary and strike the ball in reverse over his head with his team's final shot to keep the rally alive. This he achieved and Trident won the point to take the lead. Another arduous rally followed which was emphatically finished by a leaping Sathorn spike. Trident winning the set 25-22. With momentum firmly on their side, Trident wasn't challenged in the deciding set prevailing 15-8. Tawari Stanley grew in stature with his disruption at the net while the infectious smile of Oswald perfectly captured the energy of his increasingly confident team.

Volleyball NZ - NI Tournament Team 2016 NISS Volleyball NZ Junior Tournament Teams. Huge congratulations to the boys and girls selected in these teams!
BOYS Ben Blackwell - Mt Maunganui College Quaid Forbes - Tauranga Boys College Jack McManaway - Tauranga Boys College Keegan Joe - Spotswood College Sione Latu’ila - One Tree Hill College Tawari Stanley - Trident High School Manawa Amoroa - Trident High School Jerome Morris - Otumoetai College Luke Chuter - Otumoetai College Henare Richards - Otumoetai College Nathapop Sathorn - Trident High School MVP - Jack Oswald - Trident High School GIRLS Georgie O’Dea - Mt Maunganui College Emma Hegarty - Otumoetai College Cliona Whyte - Otumoetai College Emma Bercich - Rangitoto College Olivia Philpot - Tauranga Girls College Kiana Gear - Tauranga Girls College Ava Andersen - Whakatane High School Emily Julian - Whakatane High School Elizabeth Howard - Westlake Girls High School Juliette Vukets - Westlake Girls High School Emme Shearer - Westlake Girls High School MVP - Tamara Otene - Westlake Girls High School Rotorua’s Western Heights High School head into the New Zealand Secondary Schools Volleyball Championships starting this coming Sunday in Palmerston North as defending Boys’ champions. Last year, Western Heights won all nine games and beat Australia’s Heathfield High School 3-0 (25-23, 25-21, 25-20) in the Division 1 final, with Mt Maunganui College claiming third place overall.
College Sport Media caught up with Western Heights High School’s coach Eugene Bogun as the team prepares for this year’s tournament. How is the WHHS team looking forward to this year’s tournament, and going in as defending champions? The team has had a disruptive build up with multiple injuries throughout the local Bay of Plenty competition. Slowly we are getting a full complement to training so that is a pleasing factor heading into the national champs. Being defending champs adds more pressure on the team as they know that they will have big targets on their backs as everyone will want to knock them over at any stage. The boys just love playing volleyball so they are excited about five days of volley and hanging out with each other instead of being stuck in the classroom. On the court, how have preparations gone? The team has played well during the local Bay of Plenty competition where any of the local schools could beat one another on their day. During the recent semi-final we were pushed to the limit by a strong and aggressive Trident team where we were very lucky to come away with a 3-2 victory. In the final we played Tauranga Boys’ College who were also missing key players due to injury. We came away with a 3-0 victory but again the game was a lot closer than the score suggests. How many of the players from 2015 are back this year, or is this a new-look team this year? The team is made up of four players from the winning 2015 team and eight from the 2015 B team. All players have played at senior nationals tournaments now so have good experience coping with the pressures a week-long tournament brings. What are the keys to defending the title going to be for Western Heights, and who are the schools to beat? We have to forget about 2015 and go into the tournament not to defend the title but to actually win it. We know about how strong the local Bay of Plenty teams are, and that there are many other strong teams out there, especially from Auckland, North Harbour and in the South Island, so winning the title will be a challenge for any team attending this year’s championship. The other teams to look out for include Manurewa High School, Westlake Boys’ High School, Orewa College, Rangitoto College, Otumoetai High School, Trident High School, Tauranga Boys College, Waimea College and Riccarton High School, and a dark horse would be our Western Heights High School B Team. Last year was the school’s 10th national title win, please tell us a bit about volleyball at Western Heights High School? Most of the kids that enter our gym get their first taste of volleyball during year 9. From there the students use the gym during their own time playing during interval and lunch breaks. The volleyball program was set up by Mr Phil George who coached volleyball at our school for 20 years. During that time he developed what we still live by today, instilling in our players a love for volleyball, representing our school and also how we work in the classroom. During Mr George’s 20 years he coached the Senior Boys’ teams to seven national titles. In 1996 Mr Alani Samia took over and won the senior national title as head coach. He is now coaching at Napier Boys High. Paora Morrison has also played a huge part in the school’s volleyball history with his teams claiming many titles. He has coached two teams to the senior national title and also three teams to junior North Island titles. He is on a sabbatical this year working on gaining a Diploma in Te Reo Maori hence why he is not coaching the team this year. New Zealand Secondary Schools Volleyball Championships What: 2016 New Zealand Secondary Schools Volleyball Championships (Boys and Girls) When: Sunday 3 April – Friday 8 April Where: Arena Manawatu, Palmerston North Coverage: Follow Volleyball New Zealand on Facebook here (link to https://www.facebook.com/Volleyball-New-Zealand-225445877479376/?fref=ts ) Livestreaming of matches on courts 1-4 here ( link at http://livestream.com/accounts/1103671 )  Being the daughter a of former New Zealand representative rower and volleyballer and the youngest of six siblings, three of whom have represented New Zealand in volleyball or basketball, it was perhaps inevitable that Eloise van Velthooven would wear the black uniform too.
After previously playing volleyball for the New Zealand U18s, then 17-year old Marlborough Girls’ College student Eloise graduated to the full New Zealand team last April at the South Pacific Challenge Tournament in Auckland, and played for them again earlier this year. Later this month she heads off to the USA on a volleyball scholarship to start the next chapter in her volleyball career. “I’m heading to Parkland College in Champaign, which is south of Chicago in Illinois,” she told College Sport Media. She joins a winning side, the Parkland Cobras. “Last year they were crowned National Junior Division 2 champions – they didn’t lose a game, going 57-0.” Their statistics were impressive. They played 180 sets during the year and winning 171 and losing just nine. Of the 57 matches, they won 49 of them 3-0. She will be the only international player in their squad, replacing an Australian player. “Pre-season starts on 1 August and then the first game towards the end of August, so I’ll be hitting the ground running.” Eloise has been to the USA before, to Florida in 2014 with the New Zealand U18 team. She’s not the only New Zealander volleyballer preparing to head over to the USA shortly. “There are several of us volleyballers going over to university, so that’s great there’s a group of us.” Her good friend from Marlborough Girls’, Lily O’Fagan, has also got a full tennis scholarship to Boston University. Eloise is expecting a different style of volleyball. “They play a much faster game. New Zealand’s quite a slow game, so it will be a quite a change but hopefully I will adapt quickly.” Parkland College is a junior college, so the idea is she will move on somewhere else after a couple of years there. At this stage academically she’s interested in studying Kinesiology – that’s the study of human movement – but her options are open. Eloise played for Marlborough Girls’ College for the five years she was at secondary school. In her Year 11 they came third and then then they finished 11th in both her years 12 and 13. Long-serving Marlborough Girls’ coach, Alister McKenzie, is also the New Zealand Senior Women’s coach. She has also played for the local team, the Marlborough Redbacks, and has been playing for New Zealand junior and most recently senior volleyball sides since 2013. Eloise’s mum Deidre represented New Zealand in volleyball and her older brothers and sisters played. So it was natural that she took to the game. “I played a bit of volleyball in primary school but actually found it a bit boring back then. The ball went over the net and it seemed it didn’t really come back much! “But then I took it up properly at secondary school and started enjoying it, plus with my family playing the game I guess it was kind of in my blood to play too.” As well as volleyball, Eloise’s other sports have been netball, basketball and rowing. She was captain of both the Marlborough Girls’ senior volleyball and basketball teams last year and her and national ranked track sprinter Lucy Sheat shared the school’s 2015 Sportsperson of the Year award. As well as her mum being a former New Zealand volleyball representative, her father Luke rowed for New Zealand and is a current national junior rowing selector. Two of her older sisters played age grade basketball for New Zealand and one other in the senior New Zealand volleyball team. Recently, Eloise has been training hard at home, getting herself fit and ready for the challenges ahead. Looking for scholarships to the USA .... Check out USA Sport Connect New Zealand’s U19 Men’s and Women’s teams have both qualified for the World U19 Beach Volleyball Championships in Cyprus at the end of July after strong performances at the recent Asian U19 Beach Volley Ball Championships in Laos.
Needing to finish inside the top five or better in Laos, the top New Zealand U19 Men’s pairing of Greg Vukets (Westlake BHS) and Daniel Kilpatrick (Tauranga BC) finished fifth in their section. The top New Zealand U19 Women’s team of Emily Johnston (Bethlehem College, Tauranga) and Alice Zeimann (Burnside High School) finished second. Additionally, New Zealand’s second Junior Women’s pairing of Holly Chandler (Waimea College) and Jasmine Milton (Whangarei GHS) finished 11th behind Emily and Alice. Speaking with College Sport Media this week, Emily said Alice and her were thrilled with the silver medal and qualifying for Cyprus. “Our goal before the start of the tournament was to make the top five and qualify for Cyprus at the end of July,” said Emily. “We found out before our quarter-final that we had already made that goal, so starting in the quarterfinals our focus changed to one of keeping on playing well and seeing how far we could progress." Emily and Alice went into the tournament seeded seventh of the 21 Women’s teams. “We started the tournament on Friday and won our two pool matches [against Kazakhstan 2 and Laos 1] to come top of our pool. “From then on it was single elimination and we played Kazakhstan 3 in our round of 16 match and won that [21-9, 21-11] one. In our quarterfinal we played Thailand 3 [21-13, 21-18] and then beat Thailand 2 in the semi-final [21-10, 21-15], which put us in the final against Thailand 1. We just went up through the Thailand teams!” Emily and Alice lost the final 21-17, 21-11 against the top Thai pair. “In the first set we were neck-and-neck with them, and then they started pulling away towards the end of the set. They were executing really well and had good ball control and stepped up their game. We were fighting all the way though.” The pair now can’t wait to get on the plane in several weeks and head to the worlds in Cyprus. “The goal is the same for us, to focus on each individual game and get out of pool play and progress through the knockout rounds.” Between now and then they’ll be training hard. “Alice has just left school. She’s already got an indoor USA university scholarship for next year and she has got her SAT exam to sit soon and after that she’ll come up here and we’ll train hard until worlds.” Emily’s been playing volleyball for several years. “I’ve also represented Bay of Plenty in netball and basketball, but I started playing volleyball in Year 7 and as it got more competitive I enjoyed it more and more. In Year 10 I made the New Zealand U17 team to go to Florida, and so the travel opportunities made it much more appealing.” Volleyball has already given her several other opportunities to see the world, As well as Laos and Cyprus this year, the sport has taken Emily to the USA (Florida and California), Vanuatu, Mexico and Thailand. Next year she hopes to gain a university beach volleyball scholarship in the USA. As well as being an established Olympic sport (since 1996), beach volleyball is now also a Commonwealth Games sport. “The first time it will be as Commonwealth sport will be 2018, so that’s exciting for us to aspire to.” Emily and Alice’s New Zealand beach volleyball coach is Fiona Scrimshaw. “For this trip to Laos she was really committed in helping us out so we are really thankful for her input.” Emily also thanked her Aspire gym in Tauranga and the Foundation Physiotherapy. Emily lives with her sister’s family in Tauranga, after previously living with her brother, following the death of both of her parents in a road accident in Kenya when she was 14. “They were on a mission’s trip there with my school. The roads were really bad and it was raining and their van lost control.” The van driver died and Emily’s parents Brian and Grace and former Bethlehem college pupil Caitlin Dickson were also killed.

He says leadership is never easy and always involves new challenges.
“I am a vocal captain and I don’t apologise for that, but to bring out the best in people you have to understand their personality. Some guys you can rip into and that’s fine, but others are more sensitive and drop their heads if you give them a spray. I am learning how to talk to people all the time.” Westlake needed a verbal rocket heading to the National Secondary Schools Volleyball Championships in Palmerston North last week. They were only seeded 14th out of 32 teams. Vukets concedes Westlake were a touch lucky to even be there. “The top four teams from North Harbour are eligible to compete in Division I. We only got third in Harbour which isn’t great, but I knew we could perform well at Nationals if things clicked,” Vukets insists. Westlake would have to be at the top of their game immediately. They encountered defending champions and top seed Western Heights High School in pool play. Vukets says Westlake went into the match with a very deliberate strategy. “Western Heights had some freak athletes, real star power, but also made a lot of mistakes because of all that flair. Our plan was to keep the ball in play as long as possible and try to force a lot of errors. We had to ride the storm when they were on a roll and take our chances when they arose,” Vukets explains. Despite slumping to a 2-1 deficit Westlake caused an upset winning 18-25, 27-25, 13-25, 27-25, 16-14. “It was massive to knock over a Bay of Plenty school. There is so much history and competition down there. A Bay of Plenty school usually wins Nationals so to beat Western Heights so early gave us a huge confidence boost,” Vukets says. The win over Western Heights didn’t signal an end to tough matches. Westlake was extended to five sets against Rangitoto College and Trident High School. Rangitoto was a success (25-18, 25-19, 21-25, 23-25, 15-8) but Trident resulted in defeat (21-25, 16-25, 25-22, 25-19, 15-11). “To have so many tough matches was tiring, but a really good thing. It built our endurance and confidence.” The quarter-final against Tauranga Boys’ College proved to be another gruelling encounter. Westlake trailed by two sets to one, but once again found the fortitude to prevail, 20-25, 25-23, 21-25, 25-21, 15-5. “Tauranga was a tough match. They had some great athletes. We played four five-set matches out of five which is pretty crazy really,” Vukets laughs. In the semi-final Westlake managed a much quicker work out eliminating Otumoetai College 25-23, 25-19, 25-22. Manurewa High School was a dangerous final opponent, Vukets provides some insight as to why. “Manurewa was a very big team with a lot of dynamic athletes. When they got a roll on they were close to unstoppable.” They weren’t allowed to really start against Westlake who won 25-20, 25-21, 25-23. Vukets was obviously delighted with the result, but confesses it wasn’t a great match. “I think both teams were tired and nervous which meant it wasn’t a great spectacle. I think we handled the occasion better than they did and that was the difference.” Vukets plays outside hitter which he describes as “doing a bit of everything.” He was named tournament MVP. “I was really proud to get that award, but I would like to thank my coaches and teammates. The effort was huge from everybody.” Volleyball runs in the blood for Vukets. Both his parents played and his sister Annalise is on a scholarship at McGill University in Canada. Greg has represented New Zealand travelling to America twice and Laos. He also plays beach volleyball and basketball for the Westlake First V who were runners up at Nationals in 2015.  At the conclusion of the 48th National Schools Volleyball Nationals - the top 24 Boys and Girls are selected into the Tournament Team for 2016! Congrats to those selected!
