These camps will focus on the FUNdamentals of volleyball. Athletes will learn the basic foundational skills for passing, setting, serving and attacking. In addition, athletes will get the opportunity to compete in games for skills and in team play. We will split up the participants into two groups, 3rd - 5th grade and 6th - 8th grade.

We hope that we can continue to build some momentum from our volleyball camps to hopefully offer camps/clinics in the fall as well!

See you this summer!
