Volleyball Training Program or Clinics

Parents of junior players, adult players, and sometimes schools or clubs that bring you in to run sessions.

Per-session or per-term fees from each player. Court hire is your main cost, so a fuller session makes a better margin.

• Planning and running group sessions
• Coaching different ages and levels
• Organising bookings, payments and communication

• Public liability insurance, and ask the venue whether it requires its own cover or hirer agreements
• Working with Children Check requirements, which differ by state and territory
• Court hire is a fixed cost, so low numbers can mean a loss on a session
• Check your state body's rules on safeguarding, first aid and coach-to-player ratios
• Register an ABN, and check when GST registration applies as you grow

Startup costs are typically around $800 to $4,000, depending on equipment, insurance and the courts you hire. Court hire is a fixed cost, so low numbers can mean a loss on a session.

Estimates suggest monthly revenue of typically around $600 to $3,000, depending on how many sessions you run and how many players attend each one. The estimate assumes at least about six hours a week.

Check public liability insurance and whether the venue requires its own cover or hirer agreements. Also check Working with Children Check rules in your state or territory, and your state body's rules on safeguarding, first aid and coach-to-player ratios.
