Braves Volleyball Camp @ NJ Sports House - July 25-28

The coaching staff from Indian Hills High School, along with area club coaches, are running a volleyball instructional camp for girls entering grade 5-9 who desire to develop and enhance their volleyball skills. The goal of the camp is to provide the fundamental skills necessary to play volleyball in a low stress and fun atmosphere. This camp is for players of all skill levels. Indian Head Coach Karen Klingner and her coaching staff, along with area club coaches, alumni, and current varsity players, will instruct campers in the basic skills of volleyball including: serving, passing, hitting, blocking, as well as basic team offense and defense. This camp will provide a fun yet challenging atmosphere for players to learn, or further develop, the fundamentals required to play volleyball at a competitive level.

All girls will be grouped with other players of their own age or skill level. Camp fee is $112 and you can register through the Oakland Recreation department at oaklandrec.org

CAMP HIGHLIGHTS:

• Equal instruction for all players
• Individual position and skill stations/drills
• T-shirt for all campers
• Daily Challenges - target passing, serving accuracy

First and foremost we hope to share our love of the game with the younger players and show them how much fun it is to play the sport of volleyball. Not only will the girls work hard on the volleyball court, they will have an opportunity to make new friends and be part of a fun-filled camp experience.
