On June 10th, 11th, and 12th, kids from 3rd to 8th grade came and learned new volleyball skills. The 3rd through 5th graders came in the morning from 9-11 am, and the 6th through 8th graders came from 1-4 pm.
Head Coach, Megan Bleile and Assistant coaches Aliece Estrada and Cayla Rueb were assisted by the high school players to teach over 80 kids! The younger group of kids focused on learning new skills like passing, setting, and serving. The middle school group focused on not only learning new skills but also improving their basic skills. They worked on serving, hitting, passing, and setting. Each group ended each session with a mini-tournament where they reported their scores at the end. This was many campers’ favorite parts.
At the end of each session, the high school helpers picked a camper of the day. For 3rd grade, the camper of the day was Josie Maughan, 4th grade was Scarlett Watne, and 5th grade was Liv Mace. As for the later session, Harper Rauser was the 6th grade camper of the day, 7th grade was Myelle Brack, and 8th grade was Brycynn Harvey. At the end of the week, the high schoolers picked out a camper of the week. This camper showed leadership, a positive attitude, and a strong work ethic. The camper of the week for the younger group was Finley Flynn; the older group, Haylie Funkhouser.
This was a very successful year of camp for the young Bulldogs. The high schoolers love helping out and teaching the younger kids to improve the program in the future and inspire the campers to have fun playing volleyball.
