Skills Camp
The emphasis of the individual skills camp is to teach and develop the fundamental techniques of volleyball, as well as game strategies. Basic skills are stressed in drills while team play is incorporated to teach how all the fundamentals fit in the game. Campers will be evaluated in all skills and receive a camp notebook detailing the camp’s training methods. This camp is open to athletes entering grades 6 – 12 in the of Fall 2007. Campers will compete in the equivalent of 10 league and tournament matches. Each league team will be assigned a camp staff member to help facilitate all the skills learned throughout the camp.
Setting, Hitting & Defensive Specialist Clinics
We are extending an invitation for position-specific clinics. Athletes who are entering grades 6-12 in 2007 will receive instruction and training for one entire day. The clinic will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. with one hour off for lunch. Please bring your own lunch.
