The annual pre-season Boot Camp is an intense five-day camp for players who are serious about their pre-season preparations, whether for national, regional or county league competition, or for a school league. The camp ensures that an athlete’s fundamental ball-handling skills and tactical awareness are “primed” for the first club or school training sessions of the coming season.
Though it follows a similar curriculum to VbDC’s Emerging Elite Camp, Boot Camp maintains a distinct focus on preparing for the domestic season. Its Volleyball England qualified instructors are regionally based and familiar with the volleyball scene in England. The coaching staff is not composed of internationally recognised trainers from national teams, universities or leading overseas clubs who lead VbDC’s international athlete development programme. Athletes wishing to work with these coaches are advised to register for the Emerging Elite Camps scheduled in

There are two “chapters” to Boot Camp. Sessions begin with all athletes reviewing basic individual ball-handling skills that may have stagnated over the summer due to inactivity (passing, serving and attacking). It then moves into a second phase of training that focusses on team-based drills and simulated game situations (scrimmages and open-ended exercises).
Athletes progress from one phase to the next at their own pace, depending on the amount of revision required to bring individual skills up to the level where participation in team-based training is feasible and beneficial, and does not hinder the progress of other athletes in that phase.
Although some athletes will progress more quickly to the second stage than others, the camp is structured so that by week’s end all athletes will have become better prepared for the coming season.
