More than 80 players are at the six-day camp which ends on Thursday.

Players born in 1999 and 2000 will go through a series of drills, matches and information sessions with some of the country's leading volleyball coaches.

The main goal is a tour of Thailand in 2015.

Among those vying for a place in the Australian junior squad for next year are Bendigo Bank Academy of Sport squad members Jameson Crawford, Jemuel Pryse and Declan Rochford.

All three are at their first national junior camp and agreed the camp was a great experience in developing skills and adapting to match situations.

Another of the BBAS young stars, Millie Fogarty is at a national junior camp in Gippsland.

A hip injury has meant Rochford will spend a lot of time on the sidelines, but he's absorbing as much information as he can.

"The session on match tactics was really interesting," Rochford said.

"We are learning the defensive plays the Australian senior teams use.

"A lot of the tactical plays were about court position and limiting options for the opposition."

His year included representing Victoria at the national under-17 titles.

Rochford started playing volleyball about 18 months ago, as did Jemuel Pryse.

The athleticism of both is a key in their play as outside hitters.

Crawford is vying for a place in the junior squad as a libero.

Earlier this year he won silver representing Victoria at under-15 level and was sixth in the under-16 division at the national titles.

Crawford started playing volleyball about eight years ago as older sister Claudia was playing the game.

Just over a week ago, Pryse leapt 4.40m to win gold in the pole vault at the Australian All Schools track and field championships in Adelaide.

Pryse said this week would be a great chance to learn about more ways to improve skills such as digging, hitting and passing.

"There's a lot of training for volleyball and for track and field. It's challenging, but a lot of fun," Pryse said.

Head coach of the Bendigo Academy of Sport boys' squad, Todd Broadbent said the national junior camps had been run in Bendigo for more than 15 years.

"A lot of the players at this camp were on court at the recently-run Australian schools titles," Broadbent said.

"This is the first in a series of camps to select the Australian junior squad of about 20.

"Many of Australia's senior representatives have progressed from camps like this to play at international level."
