Volleyball

Skills and Learn to Play

Our Skills and Learn to Play sessions are designed to provide fun and excitement through the game. We invite all comers to register for the camp and spend your time learning about the game of volleyball. Learn about the skills needed to compete in the game and leave the week a more skillful player. Sessions will focus on areas such as serving/passing, movement and strength sessions. Who knows, maybe your week will inspire you to keep playing the game for life!
