CAMP
DETAILS
How
is it Organized?
On the
first day of the camp all players will participate in
brief testing and skill-work. Using the results, campers
will be placed in an appropriate skill group. This skill
group will progress through all volleyball skills and team
skills together. We strive to keep a 10 to 1 player to
coach ratio for all of our camps. Please note that these are not OVERNIGHT CAMPS. Campers
coming from out of town do have the option of staying in one
of our sponsor
hotels.
What's the Difference?
The best way
we can describe the difference between the three camp
formats is this way:
-
Youth
Camps
are mostly introductory skill work (pass, set, hit,
serve, defend) and some small-group game-play; there is
no 6 on 6 game instruction in this camp. They are
specifically for 4-6th grade boys and girls and are a
good introduction to the sport.
-
Basic Skills Camps
are about 65% basic skills instruction and drills; 35%
game-like instruction. They are good for players
of all skill levels and our most popular camps.
-
Intermediate
Skills
Camps are about 55% basic skills instruction and
drills; 45% game-like and are good for players that have
a mastery of the basic skills and a good understanding
of team concepts.
-
Advanced/Elite
Camps are about 40% basic skills instruction and
drills; 60% game-like
All camps offer a great
curriculum, but differ in the amount of time spent on basic
skill instruction and versus game instruction and game play.
Please be realistic in the assessment of your athlete's
skill level so that they can benefit the most from whichever
camp you enroll them in.
What
to bring to camp

This
camp spends all of it's the time on individual
skill introduction and development. It is as described: a basic skills camp;
where we will take each of the basic skills in volleyball
and teach them to the athletes in camp. The ultimate goal is
to introduce the sport to our campers and to help them
develop a love for the game. This is not a "training
camp" format, where all they will do is learn the skills and
go home. We also will introduce small-group game play
to reinforce the individual skills learned in a modified
game setting . This
is a great camp for boys and girls new to volleyball AND those
that have already played and want to improve in a low-stress
setting. By grouping
campers by their skill level and running skill-appropriate
drills, even the advanced players can reap the benefits of
this camp.

skill development. It is as described: a basic skills camp;
where we will take each of the basic skills in volleyball
and teach the athletes how we play the game. The ultimate goal is for each athlete to
dramatically improve her level of play and their
appreciation for the sport of volleyball. Areas that are heavily emphasized are
ball control, movement skills, attack footwork and arm swing
development. There will also be time spent on basic concepts of team defense, serve-receive offense, and
transition defense/offense. Depending on
interest level and facilities, forums on various subjects
including recruiting, weight-training,
club volleyball, and goal-setting are
included. This
is a great camp for those new to volleyball AND those
looking to improve in their basic skills. By grouping
campers by their skill level and running skill-appropriate
drills, even the advanced players can reap the benefits of
this camp. This is a good preview camp for our

This full-day camp spends some time on individual
skill development.
It is designed for
athletes that have played the game and have a good
understanding of the basic skills and systems.
Please do not sign
your child up if she does not meet these criteria; we have
had players attend with little understanding of the game and
they have lessened the experience for those that are truly
of intermediate skill.
We will review each of the basic skills in volleyball and
briefly take the campers through some intermediate-level
drills designed to improve these areas. There will be
tutor sessions for setters, middles, outside hitters and
defensive specialists, as well as tips on how to excel in
these areas. Quick-offensive concepts will be
introduced for all attackers. There will be a
great amount of time spent on individual and team defense, serve-receive offense, and
transition defense/offense. Team sessions will
emphasize 6-2 and 5-1 offensive systems and will be
competitive. Our ultimate goal is for each athlete to
dramatically improve her level of play and prepare for their
school seasons at a level beyond basic skills, but not quite
the ELITE LEVEL. Forums on recruiting, weight-training,
club volleyball, and goal-setting are
included; and campers are given an extensive camper book
that will be a great resource for years to come. By
grouping campers by their skill level and running
skill-appropriate drills, even the advanced players can reap
the benefits of this camp. This is a good preview camp
for our
ELITE
CAMP.

Looking

Edmonds CC
HS Camp, Aug. 17-20
This
camp has room for up to 45 Campers
This
is our most popular camp and is for
Elite Athletes
that will compete
for a position on
their varsity teams in the fall.
Sign up as individuals or
bring your entire varsity team unless you have already
attended our Elite Camp in previous years,
a letter of recommendation
from you school or club coach is REQUIRED.
This camp is popular because it is the week before the
beginning of the High School Season and gives
serious volleyball players a head start on their high school
seasons. This
camp is similar to the individual skill camps, only it is designed for the intermediate to advanced volleyball
player. In addition to the basic skill-building
featured in our individual camps this camp will go a step further and
emphasize advanced attacking, blocking, serving ,and
defense; as well as advanced team offensive systems and
defensive systems. This camp spends over 50% of the
time on team-related skill improvement -- exactly what the
varsity athlete needs to get a jump on their season. This camp will also feature many
position-specific TUTORING SESSIONS. With
the higher skill-level of campers, more team and game play
will be emphasized in this camp. Campers will
spend morning sessions on advanced individual skill
development and afternoon sessions will emphasize game-play
and team strategies. An additional feature of this camp will be
talks on
leadership, college recruiting, and will conclude with a camp-wide tournament.
