This full-day camp spends a great deal of time on individual skill development. 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, and attack and blocking footwork. There will also be time spent on basic concepts of team defense, serve-receive offense, and transition defense/offense.  Included also are brief forums on various subjects including club volleyball, goal-setting, and nutrition.  All campers are given a camp notebook with skill information and resources for future benefit.  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.

EASTSIDE AREA HIGH SCHOOL CAMP

July 22-25

Monday - Thursday

9:00 am-4:00 pm

Newport High School

Online Registration

$235.00

his camp is for JV and VARSITY High School Athletes (9th-12th grades) in the Fall of 2013.  We have space for up to 60 athletes on four courts, so we will not limit registration for this camp.  Players will be separated by grade and skill level with a "varsity" gym and a "JV" gym.


This is one of our most popular camps for High School-aged Athletes.  This camp is designed to give select/serious athletes some advanced training before the start of their high school seasons. Also, the overall level of play should be greatly increased because it is a high school only camp.  This camp is similar to the individual skill camps, only it is designed for the advanced volleyball player.  The camp will concentrate on individual skill-building through tutoring, leadership skills, and give campers an opportunity to work with the NW Juniors Elite VBC coaching staff.   There will be a lot of scrimmage-style drills to get the athletes sharp before the start of the season.  This camp spends over 50% of the time on team-related skill improvement -- exactly what the top high school athlete needs to get a jump on their season.  Campers will  spend morning sessions on individual skill development and afternoon sessions will emphasize game-play and team strategies.  An additional feature of this camp will be discussions on college recruiting and off-season training.

Typical Camp Locations:

On occasion, we will be hosting two camps during the same week for the primary populations that our club serves.  Those locations are the Eastside and the Edmonds/North End. 

 

These are our camp locations:

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 8-10 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:

  • Our 5-9th grade camps are Basic Skills Camps:  They are about 65% basic skills instruction and drills; 35% game-like instruction.  They are good for players of all skill levels and our most popular camps.

  • Our 7-10th grade camps are Basic Skills-Intermediate Skills Camps:  They are about 55% basic skills instruction and drills; 45% game-like and are good for players that have a mastery of the basic skills and a good understanding of team concepts.  There is an overlap between the two camps because players in the 7-9th grades vary in experience.

  • Our 10-12th grade camps are Advanced/Elite Camps: They are about 40% basic skills instruction and drills; 60% game-like

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

  • Comfortable Volleyball clothing.  We recommend: T-shirt, shorts, Sweats, volleyball shoes (No black-soled running shoes, please)

  • Campers who register early will be given a Baden Camp Ball at the end of camp.

  • A Positive Learning Attitude!!!
