The Strathmore Chaos club volleyball organization is hosting an inaugural summer camp for the U13, U14, and U15 level girl players to improve their skills and overall knowledge of the game.
“The purpose is to work on their basic skills, to work on different systems that these girls would be using in the school volleyball as well as in club volleyball,” said Krista Hill, Chaos board member.
Hill added that the camp offers an opportunity for players of all skill levels and provides an opportunity for the athletes to develop their abilities.
“We want to get some of the kids out that are going into the junior high volleyball,” said Hill. “A lot of those may have never touched a ball. This is going to be an opportunity for them to get some time with the volleyball before going into tryouts.”
The camp sets out to condition the girls, and for some of them, earn an invite to the Chaos main camp in the fall.
The organization wants to keep their U13 development league, which is a base-level volleyball league for those who are new to the sport and want to gain more knowledge in it.
“We think it’s important to have that base level and give them that experience,” said Hill.
Mikayla Reinhardt, head coach of the camp, wants to teach the girls proper technique and help them become better players.
“I want to focus on the foundational skills,” said Reinhardt. “Just making sure their form is really good, their communication and understandings of the system. That way when they move up, they have a solid foundation and coaches can add their own.”
The fifth-year Briercrest Clipper player said the focus will be placed on basic skill with the younger group, while training with the older group will resemble a game situation.
The camp will run from July 27-29 at Holy Cross Collegiate, with U13/U14 starting at 8:30 a.m. and running until noon on all three days. The U15 will take place from 1:30 p.m. to 5 p.m. on the July 27-28 and 8:30 a.m. to noon on July 29.
The cost is $75 and the registration deadline is July 25. To register or receive more information contact Reinhardt at mikaylareinhardt11@gmail.com or Hill at kristadpb@gmail.com.
