**New to VPC 2008**
VPC has changed locations in Calgary and is now being held at Rally Pointe.
Libero and Right side positions now offered.
Welcome to the seventh summer with Volleyball Position Camp. Volleyball Position Camp is a unique camp designed to take the volleyball camp experience to a new level. Our mission and goal is to introduce, teach and train the athlete on what it takes to reach the next level of their volleyball game. VPC focuses on position specific training while introducing the role and importance of physical training, mental training, and proper nutrition.
Here are some of the highlights that set Volleyball Position Camp apart from other general skill camps.
Position Specific Training
The general concept of Volleyball Position Camp is to train in your chosen position (middle hitter/blocker, outside/power hitter, right side, setter, and libero) with athletes of similar age and ability. The camp combines all major positions and provides position specific training. It will provide the athlete with learning opportunities way beyond what any other regular skills camp can offer. (The Calgary and Edmonton locations offer training in different positions. Check bottom of page for more details.)
Specialty Training Sessions
Each week VPC designates one day for specialty training sessions. This day is designed for the athlete to gain new or additional experiences in jump serving, standing float serving, individual defense, advanced defensive techniques, individual serve receive, advanced serve receive techniques, arm action correction, wipe-off techniques, ball recovery skills, second ball attack for setters and others. Players will be able to choose the coach and the activities they wish to take part in via a sign up for that particular day.
Beyond the Court
There are many external factors that influence a players performance on the court. At Volleyball Position Camp, we try to expose the athlete to a wide variety of these factors that will help strengthen their volleyball game. In the past we have offered a video session with current and high-level volleyball footage, a physical training session, a mental training session, and/or a nutrition lecture specific for the female volleyball player.
Coaching Staff
Volleyball Position Camp coaches are experienced female athletes and coaches chosen for their ability to teach skills and provide feedback to the athlete. Over the years VPC has had current and former National, Professional, University, and College Team players, in addition to current University and College coaches through out Canada. You will not find a more qualified coaching staff throughout the country.
Eligible Athletes
This is not a general skills camp and athletes attending are expected to have a solid background in the sport of volleyball.
Location
**NEW** The VPC Calgary is now located at Rally Pointe.
VPC Edmonton is hosted at Strathcona High School.
Daily Schedule
Both camps run Monday through Friday and include four separate training sessions. The first 2 sessions are position specific and the final 2 offer combination training between setters and hitters, and game play.
The camp will offer an extremely low coach to player ratio of approximately 1 – 9/10. Enrollment will be limited to 20 athletes in each position per week.
Volleyball Positions Offered
**New**
VPC Calgary
Cost
The cost for one week at “Volleyball Position Camp” will be $476.19 + 5% GST ($23.81) per participant for a total of $500.
In order to support the low coach to player ratios, exceptional quality of instructors, commitment of the coaches to come to Calgary, safe and outstanding facility as well as the incredible location and the new and innovative concept, this camp cannot be in the same cost category as your traditional and general skills camp.
It will be difficult to find a camp of similar quality, intensity and learning opportunity anywhere in the country. All the coaches are educators/teachers and have the innate ability to connect with teenagers, who are self-motivated, driven, love volleyball and are looking to reach for their potential in the sport of volleyball.
Please continue to check out the individual position descriptions as well as the coach’s biographies. Register early to avoid disappointment later.
