Team camp was a resounding success last year. Many logistical changes have been planned to guarantee this year's camp to be even better. Campers and staff will be housed in Wonders or Wilson Hall. This will allow teams to be grouped together in the dorms along with female members of the coaching staff. The Michigan State Volleyball Camp Staff will continue to work with the high school coaches to provide the strongest learning environment possible. High school coaches will be encouraged to join the camp staff in the operation of techniques and drills. The camp will be divided into three sessions: Morning sessions (ball handling and defensive drills), Afternoon sessions (passing, attacking and offensive skills) and evening sessions (team development and scrimmaging). Teams should be a minimum of eight players. Each team of 12 or more should have two setters. All participants will receive a camp t-shirt and an official Baden volleyball with the MSU logo.
