GCVA 2009 Summer Volleyball Camp

“Best Little Volleyball Camp in Texas”

Other clubs are trying to copy our camps (at least if they are smart) but we have the camp perfected.

2009 Camps

SKILLS & DRILLS - The GCVA Volleyball Camps are full of fun-filled volleyball training in the Clear Lake Area. Under the direction of Todd Porter and or other GCVA coaches the GCVA Volleyball Camps provide campers with individual skills development. Each camp groups players according to age, ability, and level of volleyball experience. This results in the best environment for player improvement. We want to help prepare you for you school volleyball season. Mutable courts at each camp.

BOOT Camp: We developed the boot camps to be like a High School Tryout. Other camps are now trying to copy us but we have perfected this type of camp. The players are told what to expect at the School tryouts. They go through the workout/drills etc. to see what to expect. They are also taught individual skill development, strength and position training. We have some of the best position coaches in the State of Texas. Our coaches will help the players to become better at their position. They will point out what they are doing right and wrong. What High School/College coaches are looking for etc. Our video capture/playback will actually show the player what the coach sees.

ALL CAMPERS GET a GCVA Camp T-shirt. Awards will also be given to select campers for various skill categories at all camps.

NEW: We will video record all players on DVD (slow down the playback) and have a coach go over it with the player to evaluate fundamentals of the players game.
