We designed this 11 hour girls volleyball camp to give the more experienced athlete specific training in one of the four positions on the court. Within each position there will be skill level grouping. The training is detailed & technical, and challenging with a low student-instructor ratio. The athlete should select their primary position in which to train. There will be some time allowed to work on another position. Our space is limited so apply soon!
