This will be an important summer as our staff lays down the foundation of how we will execute our vision and introduce our style of Spartan volleyball. We invite all youth - near and far - to check us out this summer!"

July's Elite Prospect Camp is set for July 11th from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. in Jenison Field House.
