Masspike Volleyball Camp

For beginners, it is often intimidating to attend your first camp.   You feel that you will be the only one there without teammates and the only one that has no experience.   Trust me, at the end of the first day, you realize that this is a great environment in which to learn the sport and prepare for high school and you will meet many others just like yourself.   Many beginners attend camp, and we keep all the beginners together in one group, often 2-3 courts to start out.  After the first day,  there may be some players that opt to move a bit faster - either because they are very athletic or have had some exposure to the game (siblings, middle school league, camp).   Our coaches are able to gear the instruction and intensity level toward the group with which they are working.  We tend to be somewhat lenient, but in general, our beginners are age 11 and up.

The format for the beginners is often different than the rest of the camp because we realize that you need more instruction on basic individual skills,  and you need to gain the knowledge of the sport before you start specializing in any one position.   We will give you some exposure to all aspects of the game, but focus mostly on the basic skills that are needed for the 1st year level of competition.
