The Comox Valley Volleyball Camp is excited to provide athletes with an excellent opportunity to play, improve, and excel in the sport. The camp will be held at Mark Isfeld Secondary from July 10-13.

鈥淚t is really exciting to offer this camp in the Comox Valley,鈥� camp co-ordinator Brian Stevens. 鈥淢y passion is coaching young athletes, seeing them improve their skills, and have fun while doing it.鈥�

There are two sessions to accommodate a range of ages and skill levels.

A youth session for boys and girls 11-13 (turning 11, Grades 5-8) will run from 1-4:30 p.m. An elite session for boys and girls 14-17 will run from 5-8:30 p.m. If your son or daughter is 10 and turning 11, don鈥檛 hesitate to register.

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 also have a strong focus on position-specific play, core and strength training, and game strategy components.

In addition to the indoor game, athletes will have an opportunity to learn and play outdoor volleyball on the grass. Playing indoor and outdoor helps the skills and knowledge of the game.

Stevens has five years each of university playing experience and coaching, and many years of individual athlete training/development.

There will be a strong collection of Valley coaches at the camp, both current and former university athletes.
