CAMP DESCRIPTIONS:

IndividualI Skills Camp: 5th – 8th grade – July 8 – 11.

A great camp for anyone wanting an introduction to or continued experience with all fundamental individual volleyball skills. Technique exploration, instruction and repetition of skills will be delivered in a positive, supportive and fun environment! Appropriate and challenging for all skill levels. Skill progression adapted to the individual athlete. Passing, serving, setting, attacking, digging and blocking will be taught. Great for all athletes who’ve played less than four years! Highly recommended for everyone playing or considering middle school volleyball.

Advanced Skills Camp: 7th/8th grade and 9th-12th grade sessions – July 23 – 25.

Prior club ball participation is highly recommended. Advanced Skills Camp works with the next steps in the development of young athletes with more intricate and specialized training in all skills. Drills will be intensive and knowledge of basic skills and technique is expected. Not recommended for athletes who have not previously played school and/or club volleyball. Focus will be on repetition of higher level skills, elevating knowledge of the sport and combination drills/games. Specific position work will also occur when appropriate.

Last Chance Camp – 7th – 8th grade – August 5 – 8.
