Volleyball at Dominican College Portstewart
Volleyball has made an exciting comeback to Dominican College Portstewart after a long absence, and it has grown tremendously over the past few years. As a thriving extracurricular activity, it is enjoyed by students across all year groups. Volleyball helps students develop teamwork, communication, and leadership skills, making it a fantastic way to stay active while building lifelong skills.
Training & Competitions
Volleyball practice takes place every Friday after school throughout the year, with sessions available for different year groups. Stay up to date with our training schedule by checking the school notice board or website.

In-House Competitions & Events
Around Christmas time, we host our annual In-House Volleyball Tournament, where squads compete against each other in a fun and competitive atmosphere, all in support of charity.
Towards the end of the school year, we celebrate the season with our Final In-House Tournament, held outdoors. We set up our volleyball nets either on the beach or on the grass, creating a fun and relaxed atmosphere for all. It’s a fantastic way to wrap up the year, celebrating the success of our volleyball teams while enjoying the sunshine. This exciting event brings all the squads together for one last competition, marking a perfect end to another successful year of volleyball at Dominican!

Volleyball has become an integral part of our school, earning recognition and praise from other schools and organisations thanks to the dedication and skill of our players.

It’s a fun and engaging sport for everyone—why not give it a try?
