Passing & Defensive Camp  – June 11th-13th

From the indoor 6s to sand doubles, the great players always separate themselves by their ability to pass & play defense.  Defense was once called the SOUL of the game because more than any other skill, individual defense demands a toughness & intensity that is hard to find in many athletes.  This 3-day Passing & Defensive camp is designed to give each player the footwork, passing platform, recovery techniques, reaction time & anticipation skills necessary to become great defensive players.  Whether you are looking to play libero at college or trying to become the all-around player who never comes off the court, this camp will give you the skills & confidence needed to succeed at every level.

Volley-tots Camp  – June 14th & 15th

The Volley-tots Camp is a 2-day camp for girls & boys ages 5-10.  Campers will learn the FUN-damentals of the game and will practice with a lighter ball & lowered net.  We will use creative, fun & goofy drills to get the kids excited about volleyball & to build their confidence in the sport.  Not only will they have fun and meet new friends, but they will also build a solid foundation for future training.  If you think your child will be interested in sports sometime down the line, then you will not want to miss this camp!

All-Skills Camp  – June 18th-20th

The All-Skills Camp will teach players all aspects of the game:  passing, setting, hitting, serving, blocking.  Our middle school camp is fundamental-based with equal emphasis on learning proper techniques and enjoying the game.  The high school camp will focus on all aspects of the game with special emphasis on skill development by position.  Check out the video from last year’s camp to know what to expect:

Setter/Hitter Camp  – July 9th-11th

The Setter/Hitter Camp is a 3 night camp designed to improve the footwork & armswings of each hitter while improving the hands, footwork & vision of each setter.  This is a low-impact camp (not a ton of jumping) that consists primarily of group setting drills, hitting from a box, setting/hitting to targets, and light footwork drills.  Each night there is a 1-hour overlap between setters & hitters in order to give a real-life application to the skills that have been practiced.  This camp is designed for any player entering high school who wants to perfect their setting or hitting ability.

Middle School “team” Camp  – July 16th-20th                      (Sign up Individually or as a Team)

Our Middle School “team” Camp is different from traditional “team camps” in the fact that it is focused on developing the individual player in all aspects of their position. Campers can sign up individually or with their middle school teams and will enjoy the camp experience & joy of competitive play.  Middle School campers will learn the fundamentals of all the positions while having a chance to compete at the end of each day.  The camp will be taught by highly qualified coaches, who know the game from both a player’s perspective and from a coaching perspective.  Check out the video from last year’s camp to know what to expect:
