Advanced Skills Camp
Description: This individual skills camp is designed for female athletes with competitive volleyball experience entering grades 9-12. The camp is not intended for beginning players; athletes who attend should have experience playing the specific positions of setter, hitter, or defensive specialist. On the first day, players will be skill tested and placed in groups so that they can progress as quickly or as slowly as necessary. Individual play and fundamentals specific to each position will be stressed, but many team concepts will also be introduced. The camp will end with a team tournament on the last day.
Cost: $350 ($300 for commuters); a $100 nonrefundable deposit is required with registration. Cost includes instruction, room and board, pizza parties, insurance, T-shirt, volleyball, sports New Testament, on-site trainer, and full use of Bethel University facilities.
Camp Limit: Applicants will be accepted in the order received until the camp limit of 80 is reached.
Camp Director: Head Bethel University Volleyball Coach, Gretchen Hunt
