Welcome

Athletes of all positions will work on serve and serve receive to become consistent and strong players in both areas. Serving will focus on improving athletes’ consistency, accuracy, and strength in their serve for game strategy and earning ace points. Advanced servers will also learn jump float or top spin serve. Serve receive will focus on reading the ball early, passer responsibility and communication, and adjusting the platform to get a perfect pass every time. Athletes will also learn how to best pass a range of serve types. We encourage all positions to attend this camp. Serve/Receive is limited to 30 athletes.

Athletes will cover a variety of skills including footwork, hand positioning, tempo, placement, and decision making. Setters will apply these skills to both in and out of system situations from a variety of locations enabling them to run effective attacking combinations. Setters will develop a strong court sense and ability to read the court. Accurate ball distribution and strategy will be incorporated for advanced setters. We encourage hitters to attend this camp as well for situations where hitters must take the second ball and increase their versatility. This camp is limited to 15 players.

Athletes will focus on their skills for back row defense with emphasis on footwork, platform, angles, and positioning on the court. Platers will get lots of quality touches and learn how to read opponents to know where the ball will be going before It gets there. Some time will be spent on serve receive and hitter coverage, as well. Advanced Players will be taught the correct way to safely dive and roll and how to back row attack to be an offensive option. Multi-positional players and setters are Invited to attend, as well.

Athletes will focus on footwork, arm swing, hand placement and game strategies for hitting and blocking. Hitting will focus on speed, timing and body positioning for strong swings as well as strategic placement of the ball in game situations. Blocking will focus on footwork to get across the net quickly, timing jump with assisting blockers, and placing hands to take up the most space. Each day of hit/block camp is dedicated to a specific hitting position in which plays and game situations unique to that position will be emphasized. Players may select days based on hitting position, but it is highly encouraged that players of all positions (especially setters) attend all days for well-rounded front row ability. Hit/Block has a maximum participation of 30 players per session.
