TEAM CAMPS |
The following camps are designed to offer more of a team atmosphere for the participants. Large group instruction and demonstrations enable us to teach athletes how to work together, communicate and acquire knowledge of game like situations that you could not achieve without being part of a team. We play a lot of fun warm-up games where participants can win prizes and feel good about their successes as an improved volleyball player. Sheldon High School Volleyball program members act as counselors for the Kid’s, Grade School and Middle School Camps. They have to attend the High School Camp. By having these players here to mentor campers we can offer adequate one-on-one feedback and encouragement. Furthermore, participants will take part in the goal setting activities that make Sheldon Volleyball successful. Everyday participants will write their goal on a post-it note and display it in the gym as a reminder of why they are here. Whether it is “To have fun,” “To meet new friends,” or to “Get an ACE!” reading all of our campers’ goals and watching them achieve them is my favorite part of coaching. |

The newest addition to our summer camp fundraiser, Kid’s Camp allows athletes in Kindergarten through 2nd grade to come play, learn, and have fun with volleyball. This is a one day camp with two 1 hour sessions. Skills to be taught include passing, setting, hitting and serving. Session I and Session II ARE different! Session I covers passing and setting while Session II covers hitting and serving. Participants are encouraged to come to both sessions, but it is not required. The cost is $20 PER session. We will have Volleylites and alternate net heights for safety and FUN! |

Grade School Camp is designed specifically for athletes in 3rd through 5th grades. Over the five days of camp we follow an instructional progression from passing, to setting, hitting, and serving. On the last day of camp we divide up into teams and play. Participants receive multiple opportunities to utilize their newly learned skills as well as catch up on the ones that they already have. |

High School Camp offers the ultimate form of instruction on teamwork, communication, and game strategies. Certainly, technical skills are covered, but a majority of the time is spent playing on teams of 6 or 7 fellow campers. Participants are given an opportunity to sign up for positions, but are then placed into teams that will change and be adjusted daily. The point of playing with so many different individuals is to learn game strategies from each other. It is difficult to play with someone you don’t know, but even more difficult to succeed. High School Camp covers just that. Breaking through barriers and facilitating communications; what can be said and what should be said on the court. Throughout camp individuals score points dependant on the games that they win. On the last day of camp the individuals with the most points are separated and become team captains of their final team. The entire last day is then a tournament of even teams according to overall point scores from the week. Champions win a

SPECIALTY CAMPS |
Each specialty camp focuses on the specific skills associated with the camp. Specialty camps do not offer the same team atmosphere as the Team Camps, but provide detailed explanations, demonstrations and performance tips on one isolated concept of the game. These camps offer participants a lot of repetition as well as one-on-one feedback from coaches. Sessions are shorter so we have to get right to work, with no time to play warm-up games as in the Team camps. These camps are all business. Defense campers get a long sleeved shirt! |
|
Session I is for athletes in the 6th-8th grade, or beginning high school students. Each session provides instruction on the basic skills associated with the specific volleyball concept. Yes, many of these concepts are covered at Middle School Camp, but not as detailed and specific as they are here. Each concept is broken down into step by step tutorials for better understanding, inside and out. |
|
Session II is for athletes who are incoming freshman through seniors in High School. Each session focuses on the mental aspects associated with each volleyball concept. Instruction is designed to “Add more tools to your toolbox” as a volleyball player. When players should use these tools and how to do so, effectively and efficiently, is also addressed. It is assumed that participants are already trained and consistent with the basic skills of volleyball when they attend this camp. If not, it is encouraged that they attend Session I prior to attending Session II. |
