Lions Volleyball Academy was founded by Ilija Bisinov, also Head Coach.
We are committed to growing the sport and creating more opportunities for young athletes across Sydney. The Academy was built on the belief that volleyball develops confidence, discipline, resilience, teamwork and lifelong friendships both on and off the court.
A message from Ilija…
“My journey began on the volleyball courts of Europe, competing at the highest level, winning international championships and representing the Macedonian Senior National Team.
Today, I bring that experience into the Lions Volleyball Academy, developing athletes through elite coaching, structured pathways, and a strong focus on technical, physical, and mental performance.
Beyond sport, I’ve spent 25+ years in business strategy and leadership, building high performing teams and delivering measurable results.
I’m also the founder of ILIJA™, a premium Sydney based longevity brand, where I design science backed programs for performance, health, and long term vitality.
For me it’s all about build strong athletes, build resilient people, and create lasting performance for life” ILIJA
