Athletics - posted on 3/26/2012

This summer, the Lakeland College women's volleyball team is hosting two volleyball skills camps for girls in grades 4-12 who want to improve their skills and have fun doing so.

The Lakeland College women's volleyball staff strives to teach athletes the skills necessary to compete in volleyball in a fun and educational manner.

The camp philosophy provides solid fundamental volleyball skills in a relaxed atmosphere. We cover all phases of the game and allow the necessary repetition time to see improvement in every skill. The skills camp will also include various competitive drills to incorporate skills that have been learned.

An individual skills camp (grades 4-12) is set for Aug. 3-5. It is designed to strengthen the fundamental skills of volleyball for all positions and levels of players. The skills camp provides players with an opportunity to develop necessary skills through quality instruction from Lakeland College's coaching staff and current players. Campers will also receive specialized instruction including skills for defensive players/liberos, setters and hitters. Cost is $185 for overnight campers and $130 for commuters.

A varsity team camp (grades 9-12) is set for Aug. 6-8. It is designed to help high school teams get a head start on the season. Each team will have a Lakeland Camp coach who will work with them on team strategies and competition against other teams. The camp coach will work closely with their team and focus on areas of improvement specific to that team. The camp will focus on team defense and team offense drills, and includes competitive team drills. The last day of camp includes a tournament. Teams will have the opportunity to play against other schools from the area and demonstrate the skills they have learned. Parents and coaches are welcome to attend! There is an eight-person minimum for each team. Cost is $175 for overnight campers and $125 for commuters.

For the overnight camp, four meals will be provided for the campers (breakfast, lunch and dinner on the first full day, breakfast on the last day). For the commuter camp, one meal will be provided (lunch on the first full day). Snacks are provided for both groups.
