WNCC announces five summer volleyball camps

Western Nebraska Community College volleyball coach Chris Green will be conducting five volleyball camps over the summer.

Green will conduct a team camp for high school teams June 25-26. This camp is for high school teams only and costs $25 per participant. No fundamental sessions will be held. Instead, teams will play other teams in competition. Only 12 varsity and 12 junior varsity teams will be allowed.

Camp participants will receive a T-shirt.The other four camps are skills camps. The first skills camp is for young girls in the fourth through 6^th grade on June 22-23. The camp will run from 8:30 – 11:30 a.m. and 12:30-3:30 the first day and from 8:30-11:30 a.m. the second day. The cost of the camp is $50.

The middle school skills camp for girls in the 7^th and 8^th grades will be held July 2-3. There will be both a morning and afternoon session both days. The cost is $60 per camper and included a camp T-shirt.

The high school skills camp will be held July 5-6 for girls from 9^th to 12^th grades. The cost is $60 for two sessions both days from 8:30-11:30 a.m. and 12:30-3:30 p.m.

The skills camps will give the participants an opportunity to develop and fine tune the fundamental skills and techniques in serving, blocking, hitting, passing, setting and defense. The skill camps are limited to 36 participants each session.

The final volleyball camp will be a setter/hitter camp July 9 and 10 for players in the 11^th and 12^th grade. This camp costs $75 and will be an intense camp with a lot of reps and one-on-one instruction. Hitters need to be physically prepared for heavy use of shoulders and legs. This camp is limited to 24 hitters and 12 setters.

Green, who has guided the Cougar women to eight straight national tournaments including a runner-up finish this past fall, will guide the camps. Green will be assisted by assistant coach Amy Winters and past, current and incoming members of the Cougar volleyball team.
