Volleyball (Session 1: June 8-13; Session 2: June 15-20; Session 3: June 23-25) Parents and Young Future Volleyball Stars (ages 8-18) Thank you for considering the Air Force Volleyball Camp for your athlete this summer! Volleyball is a very physical, strategic and technical sport. Although it may be challenging at times, it can also be very rewarding.
At the Air Force Volleyball Camp, your athlete will have the opportunity to learn from a select group of coaches who have all played and coached at the collegiate, professional and international levels. Young athletes are starting to develop their abilities at an earlier age and this is especially true with volleyball, as skill and technique improves with experience, until a certain skill becomes an unconscious reaction. Limited scholastic seasons alone do not provide the time and opportunity to learn and perfect techniques to a high level of proficiency. That is why attendance at summer camps is so important to the development of an athlete.
The Air Force Volleyball Camp offers campers a chance to experience the sport at the fundamental level, while also being able to compete in a team environment against other young athletes. Over the past nine years, campers have had the opportunity to see the sport in action from clinics and scrimmages by the U.S. Men's and Women's National Teams. Morning sessions will consist of the basic fundamentals, as well as time for individual skills and techniques.
A variety of specialty sessions will be hosted during the afternoon to work on team offense and defense. Tournament play begins on Thursday, while the playoffs will take place on Friday. All campers should bring their volleyball attire: shorts or tights, t-shirts, socks, court shoes, knee pads and a water bottle.
Each day, the camp runs from 8:30am until 4:30pm, with the exception of Friday which is a half day, with the tournament playoffs taking place that morning. Week 3 runs three full days from 8:30 to 4:30 each day. Again thank you for considering Air Force Volleyball Camp. We are confident it will be a rewarding experience for your young volleyball players and will contribute to their future success in the sport.
