The annual pre-season Boot Camp offers a collection of four separate courses designed for school and club athletes who are preparing for competitive volleyball in the coming season. The curriculums range from six hours of training for the beginning volleyball athlete (usually of middle school age) to 20 hours for the school varsity or club county level competitor (usually up to age 18). Training is delivered in separate sessions offering curriculums commensurate with the experience and skill level of the camper.
Training ranges from basic ball handling instruction in the Pathways course; more complex ball-handling skills in linked drills to Skillz athletes; the technical refinement of ball handling and introduction to team-based drills in Skillz Plus; and team-based and game situation performance training in the Emerging Elite course. Session times are staggered so that an athlete who demonstrates good ability for the skill level at which they registered can advance to the next highest level of training.
Physical fitness is not as critical for Pathways campers as it is for the more advanced Skillz, Skillz Plus and Emerging Elite courses, which do require a high degree of fitness. However, all curriculums require a good level of stamina, strength and agility, as a player’s ability to learn from the drills will depend on their fitness and willingness to participate in physically exerting activities.
The four curriculums offered at Boot Camp are:
• Pathways, (Monday and Tuesday mornings) • Skillz (Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday mornings)
• Skillz Plus (Monday through Friday afternoons) • Emerging Elite (Monday through Friday afternoons)
