September will soon be upon us. And so too will a new school year.
With that in mind the Humboldt Collegiate Mohawks senior girls volleyball team is hosting a volleyball camp Aug. 24-25 in hopes of giving volleyball players a head start on their 2018-2019 season.
The camp will be broken up into two groups and spread over two days with grades 7-9 students playing at Humboldt Public, and grades 10-12 at Humboldt Collegiate.
Having the camp broken up between each school is important, says camp contact Stacy Jackson because it gives players the full court, instead of having to share a half court.
Camp will be four hours each day, with fun warm up drills and skills development planned and will include instruction from Lakeland College women’s volleyball head coach Austin Dyer, as well as other collegiate players.
Having Dyer, who has been coming for many years, come once again to run the camp is great, says Jackson because his skill development work with the kids is great.
“He knows how to get down to their level and help them out and then he brings some of his athletes with him and they also work with the students.”
Dyer is not only a benefit to the players, but also the coaches, says Jackson because they are also able to learn from his work.
“You just kind of see the way that he runs a practice and how important the warm up is and how much attention he puts to certain skills and certain aspects of the game play. So it’s just really good to see somebody who’s that involved in the sport and that knowledgeable of the sport.”
Camp registration is open any time up to the beginning of camp and does not have a registration limit.
Registration is $110 each, and can be done on the day at the school where the player will be attending camp.
