ILLINOIS WESLEYAN UNIVERSITY VOLLEYBALL CAMPS—SUMMER 2016

MISSION STATEMENT:IWU's Volleyball camps are designed to assist young athletes in improving their volleyball skills and developing proper playing habits. Not only will the girls gain knowledge of the proper techniques, they will also benefit from the companionship of other players, learn good sportsmanship, and other related athletic values.

Players will be closely observed and mistakes will be corrected. Every effort is made to teacheach player how to use their knowledge in game situations in order to develop the physicaland mental skills that go into making a good volleyball player.

GENERAL SKILLS CAMP:In the General Camp, we will emphasize the beginning fundamentals and basic techniques used involleyball. For the players with good fundamentals, we will work on more advanced skills. The camperswill apply these skills throughout the camp in drills and game-like situations.

The camp will be divided into groups according to their age and their skill level. This will allow for an opportunity-filled camp for all of its participants. The General Camps are offered to 2nd through 12th graders beginning June 6th running through June 9th. The High School and Junior High Camps run from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon and the Grade School camp runs from 1:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m.

MULTIPLE CAMPS:If your camper will be attending the morning General Skills camp and the afternoon Mini-skills camp(s), they are welcome to bring a sack lunch and eat in one of our air conditioned classrooms or in thegym.

We ask that the campers clean up after themselves. Counselors will be in the building but will not be supervising the campers during this time.

OUR GOAL FOR THE CAMPS:We combine hard work and fun to bring out the mostin every player. We also make every effort for the camp to be gratifying and worthwhile experience for every player who attends.

You can register by mail or online. If you would like to register online, visit www.iwusports.com and click on the sports camp link. From there, find the volleyball camp link.

MINI-SKILLS POSITION CAMPS:The Mini-skills Position Camps are offered to 6th through 12th graders beginning on Monday, June 6th at 1:00 p.m. Each three hour session will consist of in-depth training on the day's particular skill. It will also consist of game like situations using the skill of the day.

For example, on Monday, June 6th, we will be working on passing only. We will focus on ball control, placement, and serve receive. On Tuesday, June 7th, we will work on setting/overhead passing. Our main focus will be proper footwork, transitioning, and hand positioning. For those hitterswho aren't comfortable using their hands, this is verybeneficial. On Wednesday, June 8th, all drills will focus on hitting, transitioning, and shot selection. We will discuss all three hitting positions along the net. Finally on Thursday, June 9th, we will wrap up the skills week with defense. All drills will focus on body positioning, ball control, transitioning, and of course, defensive attitude!

You can pick one or all of the them-the choice is up to you!
