The Comox Valley Volleyball Camp is excited to provide athletes an opportunity to play, improve and excel at this awesome sport. The winter and summer camps are the longest running volleyball camps in the North Island.
The camp will be held at Highland Secondary Jan. 7 and 8.
鈥淚t is really exciting to offer this two-day camp in January,鈥� co-ordinator Brian Stevens said. 鈥淢y passion is coaching young athletes, seeing them improve their skills, and have fun while doing it.鈥�
There are two sessions available to accommodate a range of ages and skill levels. The youth session for boys and girls Grades 5-8 will run from 9 a.m. to noon. The elite session for boys and girls Grades 9-12 will run from 1-4 p.m.
Both sessions will focus on technical skill development, game play knowledge, tons of touches with the ball, and of course fun. The elite session will include a strong focus on position-specific play and game strategy components.
Stevens has five years of CIS (university) playing experience, and five years of coaching Team BC (including Canada Games). He was also an assistant coach at Camosun College, and has many years of club and high school coaching, along with many years of individual athlete training/development.
There will be a strong collection of coaches from the Comox Valley facilitating the camp who will be providing their expertise and enthusiasm.
