Cox was a member of the Victorian Blue team, which won a silver medal at the championships in Coomera late last month.
Laura Roberts, who is a Bendigo Academy of Sport volleyball program coach, was assistant coach of the team.
Cox’s All-Star selection was made all the more remarkable by her selection in the under-17 team as a bottom-age p[layer.
The academy had 21 athletes and four coaches involved at the championships.
Scott Johnson, Jakob DeSalvo, Rye Penny and Ciaran Noble won a silver medal with Victoria Gold’s under-15 division one team.
