It is so much fun for camp staff to share our experience and knowledge in helping you improve your skills, mindset and understanding of the game. The camp philosophy is to teach technique through the development of an athletes mindset. This allows a volleyball player to gain knowledge, make good decisions and learn to perform under pressure.
