This camp session will provide players with a combination of training
sessions: general skill, position and team-like drills and competition.In the morning, we will place players on
court by experience, skill and gender and provide general skill training
covering these basic skills throughout the week: serving, forearm and
overhead passing and digging, hitting, setting and blocking. (Beginners will be on their own courts and
progress at a different pace) Some mornings, campers will focus on a
skill of their choice for 45 minutes - to get extra help or to practice more
advanced techniques.
After lunch, we will break upby
position; hitting, setting and back row to start. Setting and backrow groups will often be
coed, but hitting groups will be separated by gender.If we
have enough middles, we will divide the hitting group
further. We will work on basic skill requirement for
each position the first 2 days, advancing more rapidly for higher level
players, and combining some of the position groups to delve into more advanced
technique and game like tactics.
We will break into position groups starting on Tuesday. Following
position training, at the end of the session, players will go back to their
morning courts and work on 6 person offense, defense, and transition,
using the skill and knowledge gained during the position training
session. As the week, progresses, we will spend more time on team like
drills, and add session ending competitions.
