Sydney United x Westside maintains a sustainable and consistent court allocation model, leveraging multiple high-quality venues across Greater Sydney and Western Sydney. Our PLV training homes are chosen for:
-
Reliability of weekly court access
-
Safety, lighting and compliance with Volleyball NSW standards

Proximity to athlete populations
-
Multi-court capability supporting 6 PLV squads
