The camp will focus on teaching proper technique and a progressive development of skills by incorporating the best practices in teaching and skill development. Camp coaches, including certified training staff, are all experienced coaches and have achieved success at a high level. The Camp is also staffed with current and past members of the Goucher Volleyball Team. Join us this July for a GREAT volleyball experience.
The Goucher College Girls' Volleyball Camp combines the best of individual skills camps, position camps, and team camps. Players choose various skills sessions to attend to strengthen a skill, then they choose what position session to attend based on their preferred position. They take these new skills back to their court and work with their "team" to incorporate their new skills in game like conditions.

The handbook will also provide a written evaluation of the players' strengths and what they should work on when they leave the camp. All players will benefit from the camp's up-to-date training techniques and constant movement drills. Focus is on the entire player, including sports nutrition and mental training, within the context of playing volleyball at the highest level.
