• Development of sound fundamental skills that will enable players to enjoy success in their volleyball careers.
  
• A concentration on teaching the correct fundamental techniques of passing, serving, hitting, setting, blocking, and digging, as well as advanced techniques in accordance with skill level.
  
• Each camper will vary in skill level. It is very important to us that each individual progresses through our camps at the proper levels. At each camp we will group players to provide challenges for every level of play.
  
[*]It is also important to the camp staff that we get to know our campers and have as much fun as possible while working hard and assisting them to reach their goals.

With the exception of the elementary camp, check-in at high school gymnasium 15 minutes before the start of camp on the first day.
