This full-day camp spends a great deal of time on individual skill development. 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, and attack and blocking footwork. There will also be time spent on basic concepts of team defense, serve-receive offense, and transition defense/offense.  Included also are brief forums on various subjects including club volleyball, goal-setting, and nutrition.  All campers are given a camp notebook with skill information and resources for future benefit.  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.

CAMP  G

PLEASE NOTE: DATES AND TIMES HAVE CHANGED, AS OF 5/20/10
August 9-12 Monday - Thursday 8:30 am-4:00 pm Bellevue College $240

 

This camp is for players entering 9th-12th grades in the Fall of 2010. 

All players will be grouped by age and skill.

This is our most popular camp and is for High School-aged AthletesSign up as an individual or bring your entire varsity or JV team.  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 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, club volleyball, and will conclude with a camp-wide tournament.

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 8-10 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:

  • 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.
