Three Advantages Of Summer Volleyball Camps

Whether your child is looking to learn volleyball for the first time or they're already in love with the sport and would like to continue advancing their skills, it'll be tough to find a better learning opportunity than a summer volleyball camp. Summer volleyball camps are typically 5 consecutive days for either half days or full days, and this is in contrast to camps or clinics during the school year, which are usually two hours, once or twice a week.

Typically speaking, you are getting the same amount of hours of training, and the difference being in Summer Volleyball Camps, you get those hours in a condensed period of time. The following are the three advantages Summer Volleyball Camps have over any other volleyball program.

Most Enjoyable Way To Learn New Skills.

Almost all volleyball camps and clinics follow the same three steps in teaching their volleyball athletes skills. They teach a new skill, practice that skill using drills, and apply that skill in some sort of modified game. In a Summer Volleyball Camp format, coaches can go through all three steps in a single day as appose to over several weeks. For athletes, this means wonders as it makes the process far more enjoyable. No need to drill only for several weeks before they can apply their skill; they can learn, practice, and apply their skill through gameplay all in one day!

Most Efficient Way To Advance Your Skills.

Studies show that after 6 days, 75% of what is taught to an athlete is forgotten. This is why coaches have to dedicate time reviewing what was taught in the previous week's session before moving on to the new skills they'd like to introduce. During Summer Volleyball Camps reviewing things is kept to a minimum as everything is still fresh in each athlete's mind. By eliminating the need for a lot of reviewing, athletes can spend more time practicing and playing, which is how they do their best learning.

Best Way To Close The Skill Gap Among Pears.

Whether your child is hoping to make a school or club volleyball team, the best time for them to close the skill gap between their more skilled piers is the off-season. While perhaps these piers are taking time off for the summer school break, you could be making up significant ground in the skill department. This can increase your chances of making a school team, making a club team, or even earning more playing time.

So if you're a parent with a child that would like to try volleyball for the first time or they've already fallen in love with the sport and would like to continue advancing their skills try a summer volleyball camp near you. If you're lucky, you'll find a volleyball facility just like ours that offers a variety of summer volleyball camps for athletes of all skill levels.
