This week I had another week of volleyball camp. This week it was the 4-7 graders and it was much easier to work with this group compared to last week with the K-3 graders. They understand the concepts that we are trying to teach them. Even though they are still small and weaker. It is nice to know that they are learning the correct form, even if they can't get it over the net or do it as well as the older girls. The coaches all want them to have good form so that when they reach us at the varsity level, we don't have to take a lot of time going over how to do simple things that they should have learned when they were this age. This week we were able to go over hitting and digging, something that we would not be able to do with the younger group because of how small they are. I was very surprised and pleased with how well they caught on to the concepts that we were teaching them. I am really looking forward to working with many of these girls at open gym throughout the summer and can't wait until some of them are finally playing for me on my team at the varsity level.
These are just a few of the girls that were at the camp this week and that is the varsity coach, who was their coach this JO season. These will be the 7th graders next year and some could possibly be playing up with me on the C squad next year.
Until next time...
