CAMP DETAILS

How is it Organized?  On the first day of the camp all players will participate in brief testing and skill-work. Using the results, campers will be placed in an appropriate skill group. This skill group will progress through all volleyball skills and team skills together.  We strive to keep a 10 to 1 player to coach ratio for all of our camps.  Please note that these are not OVERNIGHT CAMPS.  Campers coming from out of town do have the option of staying in one of our sponsor hotels.

 

What's the Difference?  The best way we can describe the difference between the three camp formats is this way:

  • Beginner Camps are about 65% basic skills instruction and drills; 35% game-like instruction

  • Intermediate Camps are about 55% basic skills instruction and drills; 45% game-like

  • Advanced/Elite Camps are about 40% basic skills instruction and drills; 60% game-like

  • Youth Camps are mostly introductory skill work (pass, set, hit, serve, defend) and some small-group game-play; there is no 6 on 6 game instruction in this camp

All camps offer a great curriculum, but differ in the amount of time spent on basic skill instruction and versus game instruction and game play.  Please be realistic in the assessment of your athlete's skill level so that they can benefit the most from whichever camp you enroll them in.

 

What to bring to camp

  • Volleyball clothing, we recommend: T-shirt, shorts, Sweats, volleyball shoes (No black-soled running shoes, please), knee-pads

  • A Water bottle CLEARLY labeled with your name on it.

  • Sack Lunch and snacks

  • Money for store items

  • A Positive Learning Attitude!!!

CAMP 2:  SKYVIEW JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL -- Room for 45 Campers

9:00 am to 4:30 pm, $170 (*$155 for NW Juniors members)


This full-day camp spends a great deal of time on individual skill development. It is as described: a basic skills camp; where we will take each of the basic skills in volleyball and teach the athletes how we play the game.  The ultimate goal is for each athlete to dramatically improve her level of play and their appreciation for the sport of volleyball.  Areas that are heavily emphasized are ball control, movement skills, attack footwork and arm swing development. There will also be time spent on basic concepts of team defense, serve-receive offense, and transition defense/offense.  Depending on interest level and facilities, forums on various subjects including recruiting, weight-training, club volleyball, and goal-setting are included.  This is a great camp for those new to volleyball AND those looking to improve in their basic skills.  By grouping campers by their skill level and running skill-appropriate drills, even the advanced players can reap the benefits of this camp.  This is a good preview camp for our INTERMEDIATE SKILLS CAMP.

INDIVIDUAL INTERMEDIATE SKILLS CAMP & TEAM CONCEPTS

CAMP 4:  (Revised) NORTHSHORE JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL -- Room for 60 Campers

9:00 am to 4:30 pm, $170 (*$155 for NW Juniors members)


This full-day camp spends some time on individual skill development. It is designed for athletes that have played the game and have a good understanding of the basic skills and systems.  We will review each of the basic skills in volleyball and briefly take the campers through some intermediate-level drills designed to improve these areas.  There will be tutor sessions for setters, middles, outside hitters and defensive specialists, as well as tips on how to excel in these areas.  Quick-offensive concepts will be introduced for all attackers.  There will be a great amount of time spent on individual and team defense, serve-receive offense, and transition defense/offense.  Team sessions will emphasize 6-2 and 5-1 offensive systems and will be competitive.  Our ultimate goal is for each athlete to dramatically improve her level of play and prepare for their school seasons at a level beyond basic skills, but not quite the ELITE LEVEL.  Forums on recruiting, weight-training, club volleyball, and goal-setting are included; and campers are given an extensive camper book that will be a great resource for years to come.  By grouping campers by their skill level and running skill-appropriate drills, even the advanced players can reap the benefits of this camp.  This is a good preview camp for our ELITE CAMP.

This camp spends all of it's the time on individual skill introduction and development. It is as described: a basic skills camp; where we will take each of the basic skills in volleyball and teach them to the athletes in camp.  The ultimate goal is to introduce the sport to our campers and to help them develop a love for the game.  This is not a "training camp" format, where all they will do is learn the skills and go home.  We also will introduce small-group game play to reinforce the individual skills learned in a modified game setting .  This is a great camp for boys and girls new to volleyball AND those that have already played and want to improve in a low-stress setting.  By grouping campers by their skill level and running skill-appropriate drills, even the advanced players can reap the benefits of this camp.

BELLEVUE COMMUNITY COLLEGE

ADVANCED INDIVIDUAL & TEAM SKILLS CAMP

Elite/Varsity High School Camp (grades *9-12),

*and skilled, athletic 8th graders with top team club experience

9:00 am to 4:30 pm -- ELITE CAMP -- $190 (*$170 for NW Juniors members)


This camp has room for up to 45 Campers

This is our most popular camp and is for Elite Athletes that will compete for a position on their varsity teams in the fall.  Sign up as individuals or bring your entire varsity team unless you have already attended our Elite Camp in previous years, a letter of recommendation from you school or club coach is REQUIRED.  This camp is popular because it is the week before the beginning of the High School Season and gives serious volleyball players a head start on their high school seasons. This camp is similar to the individual skill camps, only it is designed for the intermediate to advanced volleyball player.  In addition to the basic skill-building featured in our individual camps this camp will go a step further and emphasize advanced attacking, blocking, serving ,and defense; as well as advanced team offensive systems and defensive systems.  This camp spends over 50% of the time on team-related skill improvement -- exactly what the varsity athlete needs to get a jump on their season.  This camp will also feature many position-specific TUTORING SESSIONS.  With the higher skill-level of campers, more team and game play will be emphasized in this camp.  Campers will  spend morning sessions on advanced individual skill development and afternoon sessions will emphasize game-play and team strategies.  An additional feature of this camp will be talks on leadership, college recruiting, and will conclude with a camp-wide tournament.
