Volleyball Camp Programs

A detailed description of each camp is given below:

Complete Skills Camp

The Midwest Volleyball Camp has been well known for its Complete Skills Camp, which is four days of intensive work on all phases of volleyball. Not only are group drills stressed, but also much time is spent on individual work, both with the coaches and the director. Over the past 25 years we have designed and refined our program until we are convinced that we have the best program available to help each player develop her talent to the fullest. We pledge that developing each individual's skills, both mental and physical, will be uppermost in our minds.

A comment from a great coach reflects the importance of learning and reviewing the basics: "Every outstanding player must always spend time working on the fundamental aspects of volleyball in order to provide the base for becoming a great player." Come prepared to work hard, learn a lot, and have fun.

Hitter/Setter Camp

Several years ago the Midwest Volleyball Camp responded to many requests from coaches and players to offer the Hitter/Setter Camp. The results have exceeded our expectations. Both campers and counselors were excited about the camp, and the players' skills improved greatly. Players will choose which skill they wish to concentrate on and will learn the techniques and drills to help them improve at their position. In addition, the setters and hitters will combine to play in the highly competitive league games.

Players concentrating on setting will learn and work on such important factors as body and hand position, execution of the set, and decision making. The progam will provide the setter with the confidence and ability to be the quarterback, or "coach on the floor". Players concentrating on hitting will be instructed and drilled on the important parts of the hit, including the approach, the execution, and the follow-through. All players will develop skills that will make them effective keys to their teams' offenses.
