It is that time of year again when our summer volleyball camps are going into full swing.
This year we are trying something a little different we are doing a team skills camp. I have had many opportunities to work in camps and we always emphasize the technical aspects. We thought it would be different to emphasize systems, high ball management, siding out, serving strategies, and the importance of never giving up.
We decided we would offer different individual skills in the morning session. Each athlete could sign up for individual skill sessions. We would then have our middle years camp in the afternoon and our senior years camp in the evening.

Here is a copy of the practices for the week. In the middle of the document there is a few blank pages that I can't seem to get rid of. (never claimed to be a technical wizard)
I have borrowed the format of the drill cards from Glen Hoag. He is a our men's national team coach. when Glen was coaching the national team in Winnipeg I had the opportunity to watch his practices and then borrow some of his computer planning ideas.
Some of the drills I use are straight from his data base, others are from Lupo and Scott our women's national team coaches, and the rest are from other coaches I have worked with. (yes Rod Durrant and Ron Thomson a lot of the names are yours) In the end it isn't the drill it is the criteria and the key words that help the athletes get better.
We used a fair amount of block skill teaching in our morning sessions and then tried hard to emphasize them during game play in our evening sessions.
I hope the document makes sense as you work your way through the different drills.
