EAST LANSING, Mich. - The Michigan State volleyball team is set to host eight different camps throughout July this summer. Online registration for the camps begin on Tuesday, Feb. 1 at MSU Sports Camps Web Site . Fans have the choice of eight different styles of camps to meet their athletic needs. Please find a description of each camp below.
July 12-14: Kids Camp - $75
Why wait until middle school to start having fun playing volleyball? Why let older sisters be the only ones that get to play? This camp is open to any and all 1st through 5th graders (girls and boys) that are looking for an opportunity to experience what volleyball is all about. We have designed this camp specifically with young players in mind and have modified our equipment, techniques, drills, and games to make learning volleyball fun. Campers learn each skill from Michigan State players and coaches who have experience teaching the game to younger level players. This is the perfect camp for those players who have always wanted to play, but never had the opportunity.
July 16: All-Skills Day Camp - $140
This is a 3-session day camp that will combine the 6 major skills (passing, setting, blocking, defense, serving, attacking) of volleyball into a single day of fast paced training and game-like drills. Open to kids ages 12 and up and grouped according to age and skill level, the goal is to meet the needs of each individual camper. Campers will be exposed to team systems that will help prepare them for scholastic, recreational, club and college programs. Camp will conclude with a competition that will crown our "Queens of the Court!"
July 17: Competitive Edge Day Camp - $100
This camp is NEW FOR 2011! This camp combines physical/speed training, plyometric/agility training, jump training, with mental toughness training to help get you ready for the upcoming season as well as playing volleyball at the collegiate level... Also, learn more about the recruiting process to play in college! Train as the SPARTANS train to get faster, jump higher, hit harder¡ Will you do what it takes this summer to give yourself the "Competitive Edge?"
July 18: Ball Control Clinic - Skills to Defend Any Attack - $100
This camp focuses entirely on defense, passing, and ball control. While this camp is targeted at players who play the libero or defensive specialist positions, it is certainly NOT limited to those players. Campers can expect to touch hundreds of balls while learning basic Spartan moves such as free-ball passing, serve-receive, shuffling, run-throughs, diving and rolling, cushioning, collapsing, overhead and emergency maneuvers. Kneepads are a MUST for this camp as campers will learn to hit the floor without fear. Don't be left off this year's team because you lack ball control or back-row skills!
July 19: Attacking Clinic - Tricks of the Trade - $100
This camp will cover all you need to know to become a dominant attacker at any level. Campers at this clinic can expect to attack and ONLY attack! If you're an outside, middle, or right side hitter - or have always wanted to be - this camp is perfect for you and your development as a powerful, high flying attacker. Campers will learn proper arm-swing techniques, 2-step, 3-step, and 4-step approaches from the left, right and middle. Learn to see the block as you jump and decide to attack down the line, angle or seam. You'll not only begin to hit harder, but SMARTER... you'll dig this camp when you realize other teams can't dig you!
July 20: Setting Clinic - Running the Offense - $100
Are you the type of player that can handle touching the ball EVERY time it is on your side of the net? Have you always wanted to be the "quarterback" of your volleyball team? This is the camp for you! Campers will improve their footwork, touch, power, location, tipping, and strategy through many technical drills they can practice long after their camp experience is finished. Whether you're a beginning setter who has never played, a freshman starter, or a highly recruiting varsity star, you will benefit from this unique camp designed specifically with the setter in mind. This camp is also great for non-setters who need to get better at the setting skill itself. No setting experience required.
July 21-23: All-Skills Camp - $300 Resident - $250 Commuter
This camp is designed for the player that wants to improve all of their skills (passing, setting, defense, serving, blocking, and attacking) through fast paced training and game-like drills. Open to kids ages 12 and up and grouped according to age and skill level, the goal is to meet the needs of each individual camper. Campers will be exposed to team systems that will help prepare them for scholastic, recreational, club and college programs.
July 25-28: High School Competitive Team Camp - $325 Resident - $275 Commuter
Please check with your high school coach to ensure that they have reserved a spot for your team through the MSU Volleyball Office before enrolling. Designed to allow teams to grow and improve through match experience. Campers can expect to play in 20+ competitions during camp against many different high school teams from Michigan and surrounding states. Teams will compete against other teams of equal talent level and will be challenged throughout the entire 4 day camp. Individual skill sessions, coached by MSU Coaches and players, will be held to help fine-tune setting, attacking, and defensive skills. Teams should have 8-10 members each. MSU provides room and board for 1 coach per team. Coaches should collect their team's forms and send them in all together with payment. Additional coaches can be housed for $150.
